Thanks for the patch. Did you ever use this? Any samples?

.

I installed it on my computer but never played with the software. I need to finish some other projects first.

Hey ChrisD,
Any new updates on the Vocoder?

[chrisd]

Yes actually the Sennheiser Vocoder is being serviced as we speak. The tech told me it should be ready within a week or so. When I get it I will do some samples and do a page dedicated on the use of vocoders and speech articulation which might help others who have no knowledge on the use of them to understand how they work.

Either way I will let everyone know!

[80sKidCylon]

Good to know. Thanks

[80sKidCylon]

Also slight OT but we can hear some light ongoing static during the middle to end of the CYLON phrase CD. We played this on different CD players and systems to the same result. Hope you cn help us. Thanks.

I've got the Hyperdyne unit. It's really not to bad for live sound.

For the price you should check out my 1 hour long cd which contains Cylon voices with warble, probably over 100 phrases

Basicly, for a quick sample of what the voices on my cd sound like,
click this link

When the page first opens up you will hear a sample "Welcome to 80's kid". That is the same machine that I used to make the Cylon voices on my cd

[chrisd]

So this is the correct model vocoder...
SENNHEISER VSM-201 VOCODER

ACTUALLY NO, THE SENNHEISER VOCODER WAS DEFINITELY NOT THE PARTICULAR VOCODER USED IN PRODUCTION OF BSG FOR THE CYLON VOICES -----STANDBY FOR AN UPDATE ON HOW THE CYLON VOICES WERE ORIGINALLY DONE. I WILL BE LISTING A PAGE ON VOCODERS, EXPLAINING THE HISTORY OF THEM AND WHICH ONE(S) WERE USE FOR THE CYLON VOICES.

8) Hello !!!
By any chance have you seen the Deleted scenes,
on "Saga of a star world" dvd
The Cylons voices are done by what sound like a "External Larynx Device". (Commonly used by those who cannot speak due to injuries or medical procedures)




perhaps one was used then Synthesized with a Vocoder???

That is very good. Your right the behind the scenes edit versions voice of the Cylons does have the larynx device, but the one falut I see is the voices were made after the filming. I am far from an expert from sound, but I wonder if something like that was used in the recording studio instead of the film studio.
Chris we wait your sound in on this great idea.
