Waldorf announces the immediate availability of their new Lector Vocoder plug-in for Mac/PC (VST/AU). Lector Vocoder features an integrated 16 voice synthesizer and a multi effects processor. Is is a virtual vocoder plug-in that it is based on well-known Q-Series Hardware Waldorf Vocoders. The announced price is $199.99.
You can use Lector’s 100 discrete bandpass filters for processing an external sound source or the signal from the on-board synthesizer – a 16-voice subtractive-style dual-oscillator design with a complement of essential analog waveforms, including sine, triangle, sawtooth, square/variable pulse width, sample and hold, and noise.
In Waldorf Lector Vocoder is also supported user-loading of single and multi-samples. Also, Lector lets you the possibility of processing the signal with FM and ring modulation, three bands of equalization, and a variety of multi-effects, including tube overdrive, transistor distortion, hard clipping, six-voice chorus/flange, syncable stereo delay, and reverb.
Waldorf Multimode Resonant Filter with selectable 12dB/24dB slope is featured in new Waldorf Lector Vocoder which includes a “whitening” filter that “bleaches” the signal (by removing formant frequencies) before it is routed to the vocoder. This feature is very useful when you try to maintain intelligibility when processing choir and voice samples.
A fully option trial version of Waldorf Lector Vocoder is available for download on the official site. For a list of authorized Waldorf dealers in North America, please visit www.mvproaudio.com/dealers.html
