Vocoders in Cakewalk

[Philip G Hunt]

Hi guys,

I'm putting together a vocal mix which could benefit from a vocoder. Is there a Sonar Vocoder? I've got versions 5-8 + SPLAT + CbB. I cannot remember if there is a decent vocoder in these. Could it be under a different name?

I've also got Project 5, which I think has a vocoder, but is 32bit. Trying to stay off the 32bit plugins for future proofing.

Any suggestions?

Cheers. ?

Usually Pentagon I requires the DAW to be run as administrator unless the registry has been modified. See this post for details.

Pentagon I is a 64bit DXi plug-in (of course, there is a 32bit version too). Pentagon I was bundled with SONAR Producer 5 through X3.

Thanks @scook I'll give it a go when I get home.

I always loved the sound of Pentagon I.

Me too.  Unfortunately 

a. Pentagon is DXi only.

b. Has a few glitches

c.  For some reason it just has not been working for me lately.  Perhaps I need to dig up one of my old installers.

SynthMaster and SynthMaster One  have an "audio input" mode in the oscillator section.

Each also  comes with a VST effects  version of the plugin. so that it can be used as an insert in the Cakewalk audio track.  Sort of a vocoder if you consider that you can route your audio input through the synth filters, modulators, and on-board synth FX, while bypassing the on-board synth oscillators.
