Always wanted to know how sam frank did his vocal processing, and this is it.

Anyone know of any plugins or vsts that can do this?

Image Lines Pitcher tunes vocals, you can tune to a midi input (i.e. chords), mess with the gender formant and harmonize. Aside from that any vocoder will surely give the robotic style tones, or something like BitSpeek if you want that "speak n spell" style tone.

Pitcher is possible one of the worst pitchers in existance. Plus I'm looking for more of a harmonizer.

Yeah vocodex. I have it. Not sure if I can feed it midi and harmonize vocals through there. I've tried.

Anyone know how to send Vocodex midi?

Really...? I've always found Pitcher to be great... It works pretty well if you use it properly and don't try tuning things to a vastly different key. The midi input works great as well - I use it to input chords and arps to tune chopped vocals to. It does have a harmoniser which is also pretty good although I've only used it properly once.

You can tune in vocodex using the built in synth module which is based on Sytrus or by inputting your own synth from another channel.

I probably haven't been using pitcher probably. I've sent vocals to it and it just becomes all squelchy and unclear.

Also, THANK YOOOU. I tried for so long to figure out how to get vocodex to send midi. Tried using the midi out and was so frustrated as to why it wouldn't work. :W: :Q: :W: :Q:

Someone I know has extensive experience with this kind of thing and he swears by Melodyne.
Anything from minor pitch adjustments to switching to an entirely different key.
