Matrix – the ultimate vocoder?
Inspired by the legendary VSM 201 Vocoder from Sennheiser we´ve spent MATRIX an additional Filter module modelling the analog Sound of the VSM. But to make it even better we´ve extended the filter range by adding two additional filters for the high end and MATRIX got two Filterbanks for stereo operation. MATRIX 2 also comes with a redesigned user interface, some additional presets and we´ve spent an internal noise generator for whisper effects.
The Vocoder was invented by Homer Dudley in the mid-30’s of the last century. Dudley worked at Bell Laboratories, and this is where the first Vocoder took shape.
The basic function of a Vocoder is characterized by an analysis of the input signal, usually speech but other type of inputs can also be very interesting. In a special filter bank, a spectral analysis is performed and signals are developed which follows the amount of spectral energy in each channel. What makes MATRIX 2 different to the vocoders in the past ?
– Precise analog modelling 8-pole filters and extremely fast envelope followers for unprecedented resynthesis quality.
– New voiced/unvoiced detection and pitch extraction algorithms for high intelligibility.
– Stereophonic synthesis filter bank preserves the spatial characteristic of the replacement signal.
– Easy to use interface.
– Latency free operation.
