I just want to clarify if we need to train the vocoder first if we want to train this synthesizer with a different dataset? For instance, you recommend downloading the pre-trained VocGAN but that is ...

If you've listened to pop music in the past 40 years, you've probably heard more than a few songs with a robotic sound. That's thanks to the vocoder, a device invented by Bell Labs, the research ...

Technologies developed for specific uses sometimes unexpectedly jump to another totally unrelated application. The first-ever digital musical instrument, for example, repurposed aerospace ...

In our paper, we proposed AdaVocoder: Adaptive Vocoder for Custom Voice. We provide our implementation and pretrained models for AdaHiFi-GAN as open source in this repository. Custom voice is to ...

When we first discussed vocoders in Elektor, a few years ago, they were still relatively unknown. Since then, interest in this type of sound-effect system has grown at an astonishing rate. Especially ...

We've been looking into classic vocal effects this week on MusicRadar, showing you how to work with vocoders and talkboxes to create processed electronic vocals à la Kraftwerk and Herbie Hancock. If ...
