Vocoder

BV512

Reason Studios

The BV512 is an advanced vocoder by Reason Studios featuring variable filter bands (4, 8, 16, 32) plus a unique 1024-point FFT mode equivalent to 512-band vocoding for crystal-clear speech processing. It analyzes a modulator signal's frequency characteristics and applies them to a carrier signal, enabling classic vocoded vocals, special effects, and can also function as a graphic equalizer or creative reverb processor.

Key Features

014, 8, 16, or 32 filter bands plus FFT (512-band) mode
02Dual mode operation: Vocoder and Equalizer
03Hold button to freeze filter settings for sample-and-hold effects
04Attack and Decay envelope controls for all bands
05Individual band level CV inputs and outputs for cross-patching
06Shift parameter for frequency transposition and phaser-like effects
07High Frequency Emphasis (HF Emph) to boost carrier harmonics
08Dry/Wet balance control for wet/dry signal mixing

Things to Try

  • 01If vocoder sound is muddy or indistinct, raise the HF Emph knob to boost high frequencies in the carrier signal
  • 02Use FFT (512) mode for vocoding speech or vocals to achieve crystal clear and highly intelligible results
  • 03Try different filter band options (4, 8, 16, 32) and note the difference in sound quality and intelligibility
  • 04Adjust the Shift parameter via CV routing to create phaser-like sweeps and special effects
