Just wondering if anyone has any tips on creating the vocoded or 'talking' style bass sound found in loads of tunes.

For an example: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4onjK9WIcWw

It's probably something simple...

Read up on FM synthesis and Formant filters

Automate filter cuttoff - 30hz -> 400hz -> 30hz (roughly, i cba checking, just experiment with values) This creates a wow sound once you add......
Bump up the resonator
Chuck a load of decimator or bitcrusher on top.
Serve with some eq'ing, compression and some reverb on the side.
Usually sounds best if you use FM synthesis as gnome mentioned - I personally never use formant filters cause I dont like the sound they create (simple as).
Serves many.

Thanks guys! Seems like Formant was the sound I was after.

Do you know any decent premium formant filters? The ones in Logic don't seem to have the desired effect. Or any well-known ones?

Thanks again,

Sugar Bytes WOW filter has vowel settings for what you want to achieve.


Cheers.

some newer fm synths have great formant filters
