does NORD STAGE 3 have a VOCODER ?! YES it has the capability !!! step by step how to

this video shows how to use the nord stage 3 as a vocoder. if you know how to use any other wave forms other than Ring Modulation to modulate the vocals, please leave a comment below!

Hilarious... and thanks

[@theclaverman]

Sorry, but this has nothing to do with vocoding. The answer to your title is NO. The Nord Stage 3 (which is an amazing keyboard) does not have any vocoding capabilities.

[@happykomusic]

Oh hello there. Another one. Here's a link to dictionary definition of vocoder. www.dictionary.com/browse/vocoder

[@theclaverman]

@@happykomusic You need to stop educating everyone in your comment field. Not everyone of your viewers is making music from a wardrobe-closet….You have the same answer (link) for everyone, but this definition is simply wrong. A vocoder intersects the human voice with another audiosignal (i.e an analog synth or guitar) and makes the human voice sound like it was is part of that signal. The NordStage does NOT do that.

[@happykomusic]

@@theclaverman my most sincere apologies sir. I didn't realize I was speaking to THE Simon Madsen. Its a pleasure to meet you. yes anything else you have to say on our KZbin channel is a Happy K-O priority. Thank god THE Simon Madsen from Simon Madsen Music youtube channel was here to make sure that everyone knows that the definition of English words should not be found in the dictionary. FINALLY someone credible said it and got to the meat of the issue. Also, as a happy ko representative, I will be sure that I clear out the wardrobe and start earning more money so that the rich people like you don't have to burden your eyes with such filth.

Please post this aweseon tutorials in the forums!

[@happykomusic]

Thanks for the suggestion! I took ur advise and posted it to a couple of the forums 👍👍

[@RichKielbasa]

@@happykomusic Well crap.. It went over like a Led Zeppelin at Nord User Forums

[@happykomusic]

@@RichKielbasa nah dude you kidding? Totally happy you suggested that! Itll help someone down the road for sure

You are...... samplinnnnggg ....not vocodinnnggg....

[@happykomusic]

Sir/Ma'am f you have a complaint, you can submit it to our management at happy k-o incorporated. our corporate office is located in downtown KY. thank you for your time.

Is this a joke video? So you can apply a Ring Modulator to a vocal sample. That has absolutely nothing to do with a vocoder. It doesn't work the same, it doesn't sound the same, and it's missing the whole point of what a vocoder is used for in the first place. :shrug:

​@@happykomusic Thank you. I am quite aware of what a vocoder does; I own several and have been working with them for 25 years. That "definition" has absolutely no technical merit and is utterly useless. As written, it would include all of the Mac's built-in speech synthesisers since Macintalk in 1984, and Stephen Hawking's speech unit. That is patently ridiculous. A vocoder is a very specific type of machine. You can think of it as two sets of graphic equalisers: One, the analyser, reads the sonic footprint of a signal, called the modulator, and dynamically applies that to another graphic equaliser, which lets through a different signal called the "carrier". The effect is that you have the SOUND of the carrier wave (usually a bright sawtooth synth pad), but played with the EQ curve that it receives from the sonic profile of the modulator (usually a spoken voice). The initial idea was to encode voice transmissions by broadcasting only the sonic profile read by the analyser with very specific frequency bands, so that it could be decoded at the other end only by someone with the right carrier signal and the exact frequency bands. THAT is the definition of a "vocoder", and anything that does not work exactly like that is simply not a vocoder. Note also that vocoders are in no way limited to using voice as modulators. They are often *used* to make synths sound like they are talking (and some of the more popular ones allow pass-through of the sibilance from the modulator specifically to make speech more intelligible) , but the more intriguing uses are to have a synth pad carrier modulated by the drum mix, or a wall-of-guitar carrier filling in behind a piano modulator. What you are doing here is ring modulation. That also involves two signals called "carrier" and "modulator", but their use is completely different: The signals are multiplied to create sidebands with inherently inharmonic frequencies that sound much like metallic clanging or "ringing" a bell and are unattainable using traditional waveform synthesis. Ring modulation was originally developed for multiplexing multiple analog signals onto a single phone line. The two technologies have absolutely nothing in common other than that they were originally developed for communications - albeit with utterly different aims.

[@analogikahamburg]

@@happykomusic TL;DR - as I wrote on the forums: A ring modulator applied to a vocal sample has absolutely nothing in common with a vocoder. They don't even sound remotely alike, and the whole point of a vocoder - having a carrier signal that *behaves* like a completely different signal, but doesn't *sound* like that signal - is missed entirely. It's a neat trick, sure, and it would make for a fun tutorial in its own right, but it just has Nothing. To. Do. With. Vocoding.

[@happykomusic]

@@analogikahamburg please refer to the dictionary definition of "vocoder" posted above.

[@analogikahamburg]

@@happykomusic Yes, I explicitly referred to it in the very first paragraph of my reply. Saying that a vocoder is "an electronic device that synthesizes speech" is about the equivalent of defining a penguin as "a warm-blooded aquatic animal that lays eggs" - it misses the actual point that makes a penguin a penguin and in fact makes a crucially wrong implication. I have patiently and very clearly defined what a vocoder actually is, and how it specifically and fundamentally differs from ring modulation. The fact that you are calling up a function that is literally called "ring modulation" indicates that you are not using a vocoder. The fact that that you continue to refer to a blanket-statement definition that has no technical meaning and is flat-out WRONG in any meaningful way to sell what could be a useful and amusing tutorial on using the Nord's ring-modulator, as having anything to do with a vocoder seems to indicate that you are unaware of the difference. Again: this is cool. It's just not vocoding. That term has a very specific technical meaning, and it is regrettable that you have chosen to package this otherwise useful tutorial as misinformation.

[@U2kheim]

This was not a very good tutorial. As several point out in the comments, this is not a Vocoder. Quite disappointed after seeing the title of the video

[@monochromery]

is this a parody video on how not to film a tutorial? 😂😂😂😂
