Out Now: ORANGE VOCODER IV

Hannover, Germany, May 1st 2023: We're thrilled to announces the immediate availability of ORANGE VOCODER IV, the zynaptified edition of the revered Prosoniq vocoder plug-in. 

A massive upgrade to the classic, ORANGE VOCODER IV combines 24 high-tech vocoding algorithms, multi-algorithm pitch tuning effects, a powerful virtual analog synthesizer, flexible routing, and a fast and fun workflow with no-compromise sound quality, optimized for maximum presence, punch, and intelligibility.

A vocoder takes two input sounds, and combines their timbral qualities to create a new, hybrid sound. The most well-known example of a vocoder in action are singing/speaking synthesizers, a sound made famous by bands like Daft Punk and Kraftwerk, among many others.

With a sonic bandwidth ranging from warm & vintage to crystal-clear, laser-focused, butter-smooth and utterly, completely destroyed, ORANGE VOCODER IV is much more than just a vocoder, and excels at creating innovative vocal sounds, electric grooves, mutated colorful instruments, frantic robots, mind-bending sci-fi SFX and haunting ambient drones for music production, sound design, and composition. 

 The key ORANGE VOCODER IV features at a glance:

• Vocoder plug-in with semi-modular architecture.
• Stereo vocoder module with 24 unique, high intelligibility vocoding algorithms, including two zero-latency options modes, each with a distinct sonic character, formant shifting, EQ, expansion, and HF Through and Unvoiced circuits.
• Powerful built-in synthesizer with FM, sync, ring modulation, polyphonic distortion, 9-voice unison operation and an AI-powered preset generator.
• 5 automatic tuning effect algorithms available in parallel to the vocoder.
• Audio freezing, reverb and chorus effects modules. Flexible, semi-modular routing, lightning-fast workflow, streamlined ergonomics and a stunning look & feel.

 
Made for sound designers, music producers, film composers and mix engineers, ORANGE VOCODER IV supports all common sampling rates from 44.1kHz to 192kHz depending on available CPU resources, and runs as AAX Native, AU, VST 2.4 and VST 3. The plug-in supports MacOS 10.15.x or newer, including Ventura, on Intel & Apple Silicon processors, and Windows 10 or newer.

What’s new in ORANGE VOCODER IV? Here are some of the highlights:

• Greatly expanded vocoder section, featuring formant shifting, expansion, stereo operation...and a total of 24 unique vocoding algorithms based on techniques including analog modeling, speech modeling, independent component analysis, LPC filtering, wavelet transforms, and more, as well as two zero-latency algorithms.
• Completely rewritten, high quality synthesizer section including Unison and Mono Legato operation, thru-zero linear FM, comprehensive modulation options, a preset generator, and more.
• New MIDI-controlled automatic tuning effects module featuring 5 modes, including the brand-new zero-latency pitch enforcer, with grain morphing and optionally polyphonic operation.
• New, multi-view UI with a super-streamlined workflow, including module sub-presets and smart randomization.
• Supports AU, AAX Native, VST 2.4 and VST 3 on macOS, and AAX Native, VST 2.4 and VST 3 on Windows.
• Apple Silicon supported natively.
• Now uses PACE EDEN copy protection for machine or iLok 2/3 based authorization.

 ORANGE VOCODER IV is available now from the Zynaptiq website and authorized resellers worldwide at a special introductory price of USD 149/EUR 159*, valid from May 1st to 31st, 2023, after which the regular SRP will be USD 249/EUR 269*.
