Vocoder for the OWL?

I would love to see an vocoder patch for the OWL devices. I’m quite new to the programming, so this is too much for me to do alone, but maybe someone already done this or can do it. I even found some code that might be helpful for this tsk which you can find here: http://borsboom.io/vocoder/

That looks like a straightforward Channel Vocoder done with FFT. It shouldn’t be too hard to replicate. Does it sound good?

I don’t know if the code is really making a good sounding vocoder. I read some comments about it and it seems to just do what it promises. :wink: Maybe someone here is interested to port it to the OWL?

I’ve put together a simple channel vocoder here: https://hoxtonowl.com/patch-library/patch/Channel_Vocoder/

It’s completely untested! I’ve not had a chance to try it with audio yet.
If you want to give it a go, I suggest putting the blocksize up to 512 or 1024.

It doesn’t do overlapping windows which might be necessary for a decent result. It does however compute in less than 40% CPU so there’s room to improve.

Great Martin! I will check it as soon as I figured some things out on how to implement the OWN best in my setup. I will give feedback asap! Thanks mate!
