Hi!

 

how can i do to get sounds that seem "near" human voice in synths ? Which effects(flanger, chorus...) are used ?

 

.o-:-_-:-o.

you mean like... f u c k e d up voices like space cat, hallucinogen/shpongle, and infected use? That eyhhww hha whaaa ha sound? Best descrition would be on track 4 of Classical mushroom or on shpongles vapour rumors. ... but if that's what your talking about...

 

Just tweak a double square wave to the max... with the pulse width and all the way down (OSC 1)... On OSC 2 the pulse width is actually what you are gonna tweak to make it change tones. Make the OSC mixer turned about 25% favoring OSC 2. Throw a ring mod on there.. If you got an X-MOD function thats what makes it truely inspiring to us. And use slower chorus on there too, give it a 'glistening' sorta polish.. Dont sync anything though... If anyones gotta better way i'd like to hear how you do it.

 

You can represent this sound on a JP8000 very well. Kinda sounds like a monster gurgling at you. Hope this helps or something. ahh... and do this on the in second lowest octave your synth can do.. If it's higher pitch you kinda lose the coolness of it all. I wouldn't move the cutoff freq. or the resonance around too much while your tweaking.. Just find that healthy ammount of each so it's clear but liquidy as well, heh..heh..heh..

You can use something like a Z plane filter to shape a synth sound, into vowels.

Its just basically a series of filters that move independantly... I sometimes do this by running my signal through 3 or so peak filters that change according to an envelope and then a finalising Lowpass filter 12 or 24 db/Per octave, depending on how exactly you want your sound to turn out.

 

You can also use FM formants... basically its one oscillator rapidly modulating the frequency of another oscillator set to 0 Hz. (In other words stationary) ...

The frequency you modulate at determines the pitch and the amplitude of the modulation determines the timbre... 4 or so Formants can produce pretty accurate speech... also vowels... You usually use noise generators to create consonants.

 

I don't usually go outright to produce speech synthesis... I just like to add a bit of an organic sound to some of my synths, just so it sounds as if instruments are a bit more alive, almost speaking to you. So I might use one or two formants as my oscillators.... or I might use a scaled down simmilation of a z-plane filter.

 

Formants are also very useful to produce hard-hitting kickdrums... Filtered correctly the can produce both the snap and the booming of your kick very well. The waveform doesn't end-up being perfectly symmetrical so it sounds more like a live membrane than a synth.

Cet-

 

Check it out::

 

I don't know if you're talkin about vocoders or the other way:

 

an ultra-simple way of making a synth sound like a fuctup robot is extremely simple-

 

a simple sawtooth wave coming out of your synth and run it through a BITCRUSHER..--- move cutoff on the synth, and wongggg...twisted fuccing robot.
