- VOCODERS are BACK
- Until now vocoders have been used mostly to create the 'talking instrument', where speech is
imposed upon a carrier signal, typically a keyboard sound. Other eftects such as artificial
speech, robot voices and cross- synthesis, modulation, could only be obtained with highly
accurate, expensive vocoders teaturing many channels ot high order fiItering.
- Syntovox SPX 216 is the latest vocoder design by Synton where two concepts merge: the
famous intelligibility of Syntovox22l, and the cost-effectiveness ot the popular
Syntovox 222. Squeezed into a single unit 19 inch rack mount case, Syntovox SPX 216 carries
more features than any other vocoder on the market obsoleting not only its competitors, but
also its predecessors 221 and 222.
- Carefully trimmed tilters provide a smooth and artistically pleasing sound quality when
the SPX 216 is used for musical applications. Intelligibility and controlability of artificial
voices have been improved by innovative design of speech and carrier inputs. and by an
electronic matrix. giving tormant shifts up or down by push button or remote control.
True stereo output. a tantalizing multi-pin rear panel connection giving access to 30 control
inputs and outputs and its superior sound quality make Syntovox SPX 216 indispensable for
anyone involved in sound processing.
