How do you make vocals do this...

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?

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 :)

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.
