Polyphonic Bitspeek Vocoder

Posted: 25 Aug 2016

I really enjoy the sound of Bitspeek as a vocoder with it's internal synth. It can be very crisp and clear. I wanted to have polyphony, so I added a Distributor :puf_smile: I'm sure I'm not the first to do this, but thought I'd share this patch. You will need Bitspeek of course and Distributor for this patch.

It consists of 4 Bitspeeks.

The 'Vary Rate' button makes it so each Bitspeek is set to a different sample rate.

The 'Unison' button places Distributor in Unison mode and spreads the Bitspeeks across the Left and Right channels (particularly cool when you also vary the rates).

The 'Hold' button turns KBD Mode off for all Bitspeeks, but they will still receive notes from Distributor (so that you can select notes/chords and then just continue talking).

But mostly I enjoy playing it as-is. Enjoy! :D

I want to own Bitspeek but it's so expensive :(

Expensive? But $49 is the sweet spot!

For all the things it can do from sounding convincingly like speaking toys, to being a very intelligible vocoder, tempo sync'd formant freezing, audio to cv for controlling synths with your voice, to an awesome GUI with a fun easter egg on the back, and being very CPU efficient... I'd say it's well worth the money. It's such a fun and unique device.

VST format is cheaper https://soniccharge.com/bitspeek
I'd like to purchase it at the same price, I know the effort in coding is different, but essentially it's the same product, so I prefer a unified price.

Here was their response to that:

FWIW, our Echobode which has slightly fewer features than the VST for the time being is cheaper than the VST...

Alright, didn't know that, thx for the heads up!
