Vocoder Supported Nord Keyboards, not so popular?

Everything about Nord keyboards in general; which one to choose, the sound manager, sample editor, and general discussion about the sample and piano libraries.

Vocoder Supported Nord Keyboards, not so popular?

Post by Whos Charlie »

I'm having a trouble trying to find exactly which Nord keyboards (new/old) support a vocoder. Something similar to the Yamaha MOXF6/8 is what I'm looking for in a Nord.

Thanks everyone for your time... :thanx:

Hi and welcome to NUF,

afaik the only Nord keyboard supporting a vocoder is (was) the Nord Modular (any version). You won't find that in any other Nord "family" i.e Stage/Piano/Electro/ etc...

Thanks Maxpiano,

I thought that might be the case but hard to believe. I wondered if I had missed something. Have a great day :)

What do you mean "support" a vocoder?

I use this guy: https://www.thomann.de/intl/electro_har ... ocoder.htm
To use it you just need a microphone and any keyboard with a midi out, which pretty much all keyboards have.

Or do you mean "have" a vocoder?

I just bought a Roland VT-4 - Voice transformer. Nice little gadget that sits perfect on my Electro 5. I think Nord will never include such a feature, It will be against their philosophy.

I would be happy with a standard mic input.

Nevermind the name, the reality is that incarnation of such gear is already in PROPHET X , except soundcard.))
But maybe " NORD Stealth" a good one.
