Lovers of the SQ-80 have long benefited from the crazy good freeware emulation that is the SQ8L. Expectations are understandably high, but does the SQ 80 V rule? I’d trust Arturia to take a keyboard like this kicking and screaming into the 21 century like I’d trust very few developers with the same task – like the brilliant folks at Cherry Audio and u-he.
This keyboard is basically an ESQ-1 with a beefed-up engine that was blown wide open by handsy users and modded into the stratosphere. Arturia SQ 80 Vįor its first Ensoniq emulation, Arturia chose an all-around crowd favorite – the SQ-80. To me, the Ensoniq stuff (particularly the Mirage) helped define the hauntingly beautiful synth sounds of the late, great Dwayne Rudolph Goettel – the auxilary heart of my favourite band in the world, which is Skinny Puppy. Brimming with potential, yet comparatively affordable, these went a long way with studio rats at the time, and still represent a love interest for vintage synth explorers. Enjoy the warm polyphonic chord sequences, wild frequency-modulated basslines, or noisy blizzard ambiences that you’d expect from a classic analog synth - but uniquely molded into the shape of your vocals or samples.The American manufacturer’s sampling keyboards, such as the Mirage, ESQ-1, SQ-80, EPS, and ASR-10 are the stuff of legends. Its built-in dedicated synthesizer carrier section behaves like a fully-fledged synth by itself, giving you everything you need to make the fun, futuristic robot noises that you know and love. With Vocoder V, it comes included as standard. The original 16-Band Vocoder required an external synthesizer to process your vocal signal. Vocoder V is out to give this classic a whole new voice. Bob Moog’s original 1979 16-band magic voice box is responsible for some of the most far-out sounds in music history, from robotic speech to rich harmonized textures. Vocals that sound like a synth, a synth that sounds like vocals - Dr. It wasn’t until the ‘70s that some bright spark saw its musical potential.
The vocoder was originally invented as a way of analyzing and synthesizing the human voice, used to conserve bandwidth and encrypt radio transmissions - it was even used in the military. Turn your vocal stems into analog FM basslines Turn your drum loops into a synth chord sequences Turn ambient samples into harmonic drones Anything is possible. Part voice analyzer, part vintage analog synth, part cutting-edge sampler - this might just be the missing piece of your sonic puzzle. If you’d prefer not to sing, there’s even a dedicated sampler built in so you can process whatever sounds you want to. Unlike the traditional vocoder, it combines carrier and modulator - synth and voice analyzer - into one powerful unit.
This is your new voice-transforming playground. It’s not your standard synthesizer either. Venture beyond the classic robot voice with a sound that truly speaks for itself. Vocoder V takes the iconic 16-Band Vocoder and retrofits it with advanced synth, sampler, and modulation capabilities.
