This is a really cool effect. I am trying to do something similar in one of my own tracks. What I have done is load very short vocal samples into a drum sampler, run the output through a vocoder as well as some delay and reverb. Still, I am not quite pleased with the results. Any ideas?

Click here for audio sample.

Thanks a million!

Id say this is exactly what you need. You might try using different things as the carrier for the vocoder...

What do you mean by "carrier" for the vocoder? Thanks Sanguis!

A vocoder has two signals going into it: a carrier and a modulator. The modulator is the vocal, the carrier is a sound (usually a synth) which you want to be coloured by the frequency spectrum of the modulator.

I'll give that a try. Thanks! The vocoder I was using must have had some pre-programmed carrier b/c i only had the option for one input.

doesnt even sound like theres much vocoding, just sounds like synthesised speech to begin with.

..and u can get that mixed up choppy effect by cutting up a sample and assigning each little segment to a different key in a sampler and playing it back as desired (its easier if u have a midi keyboard to muck around with).

what he said, it sounds very much like the famous speech synthesis from an Amiga

Correct Nephilim
It's an old "vintage" vocal synthesis from Amiga computers. There's a software called STSpeech that simulate this synth.
I found this information in Vengeance Forum.

Here's the file
