"Very cool sounding very well built like a tank getting hard to find.

Designed for both DJs and Musicians, the Warp Factory is possibly the ultimate stand-alone Vocoder. With those great big knobs, the Warp Factory is designed for straight-forward hands-on use. It has an XLR Mic input (conveniently located on the front) and a quarter-inch line input for use as the Formant or carrier signals. Then there are two quarter-inch line-inputs and two RCA phono inputs for your stereo source sounds, either drum loops, mixes, songs, synth pads, etc...

The way it works is whatever Formant signal you have, say your voice, will be warped into taking on the characteristic of the Source signal you have, say a buzzy synth sound. This would in effect give you that Robot voice effect.

The Warp section is where you'll find most of the knobs and cool features of the Warp. There is a low- and high-pass filtering switch. A 'Gender' knob adjusts the pitch of the Formant. 'Q' adjusts the width of the filtering. An 'Order' adjusts the filter resolution for clear to abstract vocoding effects. There is also Noise and a built-in oscillator Source signal whose pitch is adjusted by 'Robot Pitch'. Various Bypass and Freeze switches and complete MIDI implementation make this the ultimate Vocoder for DJs, musicians and producers"

Korg Minilogue + Electrix WarpFactory Vocoder Demo

Published on Oct 21, 2016 Genshi Media Group

Demo starts after 2:50.

"Trying out the Korg Minilogue with the Electrix WarpFactory Vocoder (going through a Strymon blueSky pedal for reverb.) Also, first time actually talking in my video... also, shaved all of my hair off! (because who wants to watch a guy with a ponytail.) Vocoded lyrics:

Here we are in the Spaceship of your mind
And we'll see you in your dreams
And we'll ride the Galactic Beam
To Outer Space…

"Vocoder" The higher number of bands the clearer the vocoding. Similar to bit reduction but different of course. Vocoding deals with harmonic bands while bit reduction deals with the number of digital bits sampling a sound.

"Here's a bit of a review from sound on sound explaining all of the units functions:
The front panel is divided into three main sections, the first of which is Formant Input. Here there's a variable-gain mic amp with XLR input, basic 3-LED level metering, and a Select button that scrolls around Mic, Line (Ess On), Line (Ess Off), and Auto. The Ess On setting is designed to help vocals remain clear after processing, while the other setting is used for instruments. I suspect that Ess On routes vocal fricatives (sibilant 'S' and 'T' sounds) directly to the output, though no technical explanation is given. The Auto setting vocodes the Source input with itself, so any peaks and dips in the frequency response are exaggerated.

Next is the Formant Warp section, whose controls include:

Band, which optimises performance for low- or high-frequency sounds, with the lower setting designed for use with drums, bass instruments, and so on. Once again, no explanation of exactly how this works is given, but it's my guess that it changes the frequencies of the vocoder filter bands. Gender, which moves the formant of the sound feeding the Formant input (usually a voice) up or down without changing the musical pitch.

Q and Order, which affect the Q (bandwidth) and resolution of the digital filters. Playing with these brings about some very noticeable timbral changes: as Q is advanced, the sound quality becomes more resonant, as you'd expect, but it also seems more granular and electronic. Order reduces the intelligibility of the voice and rounds the sound out more, so for clearer enunciation lower settings are best. Noise Mix, for adding noise into the Source signal path, which can help make vocal effects more intelligible, not to mention more hissy and menacing.

Formant Freeze, which allows the filter shape to be frozen at any instant in time, for static filtering.

An oscillator is also included, to allow users to generate the familiar budget sci-fi robot voice effect. This is variable from 92Hz to 241Hz, or it may be switched off. As in the case of the FilterFactory, all the controls output and receive MIDI controller data, so sequencer automation of any function is possible, and a MIDI dump of the current settings can be made.

In the Output section you'll find a Mix control, but this mixes only between the Source input and the treated signal. It isn't possible to mix any of the Formant input directly into the output to improve intelligibility, unless you use an external mixer. The Source Kill button, however, is quite useful. When this is switched on there is no audio output from the WarpFactory unless both inputs are present, while if it is switched off the Source signal will continue to sound even if the Formant input stops."

[caknobs] KORG Rhythm-55B(KR55B) PSS-50 Roland SH-101 YAMAHA ED-10 jam (Full analog groove)

video upload by Caknobs - November 16, 2010

"1982年発売のKORG Rhythm-55BのトリガーアウトでSH-101の内臓シーケンサーのクロックを­制御しています。ボーカルはWarpFactory(ボコーダー)に入れてエレクトリ­ックノリを強調してみました。ボコーダーの波形制御はPSS50でやってます。
I think that this set is a kind of Acidtrack made from KR55B + SH-101, and vocoder increases flavor in the 80's.
