"This is a simple to build device that converts your own human voice into a superior robot voice. It also includes a number of sweet features like an audio-in jack so that you can plug in all of your favorite instruments, microphones and music players, a vibrato mode and awesome pitch shifting buttons. It can be shifted two whole octaves in either direction. This provides for endless hours of fun (at the expense of everyone around you)."

Ableton Live Tutorial: Dubstep Talking Wobble Bass w/ Operator

http://blog.dubspot.com/ableton-live-...

"Ableton Certified Trainer and Dubspot Instructor Michael Hatsis aka !banginclude explains how to make 'dubstep talking wobble bass' in Ableton Live using Operator (If you don't already own Operator, check out the tutorial video Dubstep Wobble Bass Part 1 in which Hatsis used the sampler to create the mid-range bass sound and load up that preset.) Starting with the Operator sound he created in the previous video tutorial Dubstep Wobble Bass Part 2, and using the patch as a launching point, he turns off Operators B, C, and D and keeps Operator A on a square-wave, sets the LFO rate to a 1/2 a bar, and switch up the Filter resonance to 5, which gives us a somewhat mild whomp bass sound. To add the talking effect, Hatsis used Ableton Live device Redux effect to bring the sample-rate down a few levels, set the Downsample to Hard, somewhere between 15 to 24 to get the talking sound. As the LFO sweeps through the Filter's frequency, the Redux adds a vocal effect to the wobble, and as you increase the value of the Downsample, the deeper and heavier the voice gets; as you decrease, the voice gets lighter. The technique known as "digital downsampling." Hatsis returns Operator to add a little FM/make the sound grittier by turning on Operator B. Be aware of the odd effects, as the Redux plugin enhances the grittiness of the FM. Furthermore, Hatsis demonstrates other effects within Operator including Coarse value, LFO rate, and Filter settings and options, frequencies, resonance, and recaps the steps and methods at the end."

Note: So why did this get the Featured label? Because we are getting very close to the iPad becoming a ubiquitous synth device. Some might say we are already there. Once a wireless MIDI hub becomes available it will pretty much be done. Next step after that will be more processing power and MIDI syncing between apps, but not sure if Apple will allow that. Anyone know if CoreMIDI supports this? Basically an internal MIDI clock for apps running on the device to sync to?
