• and AAX Native
• VST 2.4 and VST 3 on Windows.  One Vocoder? How About 24... ORANGE VOCODER IV doesn't just give you one great vocoder sound
• it gives you twenty four vocoding and cross-synthesis modes
• each with its own unique sonic character. It can sound warm and fat or ghostly ethereal
• dark and moody or crystal-clear
• as butter or utterly destroyed in a totally sick way…you’ll never run out of inspiring new sounds. To create this bandwidth of sounds
• Zynaptiq have used every trick in the book* - ORANGE VOCODER IV was designed to feature the most comprehensive set of sound hybridizing options available in a vocoder. *: ...and some that aren't yet in any books
• actually Meticulously Crafted Staying true to their style
• the Zynaptiq team didn’t stop there
• though
• and threw in an excellent formant shifter
• a new take on filter bank release/reverb called TRACES
• HF through and unvoiced synthesis
• an expander keyed on the plug-in input
• as well as zero-latency operation for two of the modes. And – most importantly! - all of this was meticulously crafted to sound incredible
• up-front
• and dynamic
• and sit well in the mix. Or in other words: it has everything and then some
• and simply sounds awesome.  Did You Say Comprehensive? Going way beyond just offering the ultimate in vocoding
• the team at Zynaptiq have loaded ORANGE VOCODER IV with features for workflows related to vocoding
• like creating vocal tuning and layered harmonization effects
• pads and drones
• synth sounds
• harmonic support in a color bass style...you can (literally) mix and match. To keep workflow fast and easy
• ORANGE VOCODER IV’s modules are all hooked up in a semi-modular routing architecture
• clearly laid out in the OVERVIEW view. Using an interactive signal flow diagram as its interface
• it makes coming up with new sounds a dream. Switch modules into the signal path and adjust their key parameters
• load sub-presets into them
• adjust routing
• solo or mute the various processors
• and much more. To dig deeper
• click on a module's box to open the synth
• vocoder
• or effects pages – it really couldn't be simpler. ORANGE VOCODER IV is much more than a vocoder – it’s both an inspiring sound design playground as well as an efficient production tool.  The Synth ORANGE VOCODER IV features a 64-voice synth that comes with hundreds of presets
• and a preset generator that will create new sounds for you with a click on a button. The synth can be used as input to the vocoder
• layered with other modules
• or used on its own. Its two oscillators can use analog emulated waveforms as well as sampled vintage digital waveforms
• and feature two flavors of ring-modulation
• hard-sync
• through-zero FM
• and seven types of polyphonic distortion. They feed into a 6 to 24dB low-pass filter with beautiful resonance. Comprehensive modulation options include mono- and polyphonic LFOs (audio-rate capable for the oscillators)
• AD-envelopes
• envelope followers and zero-crossing trackers
• velocity and a 4-destination macro control. Unison operation with up to 8 additional voices and DETUNE and CLUSTER modes
• as well as Mono Legato with glide are supported
• and you can play the synth via MIDI
• or tell it which notes to play using the on-screen keyboard.  Pitch Quantization ORANGE VOCODER IV features a pitch quantizer for forcing the input signal onto a specific pitch
• which can be used in parallel to or instead of the vocoder. It has 5 modes – QUANTIZE
• SCALE
• NOTE
• ENFORE and POLYFORCE – that provide flexibility and a wide range of sound options. ENFORCE and POLYFORCE use a wave-table inspired approach
• and feature zero latency processing for live performance. The pitch quantizer is extremely easy to use: just switch it on and choose the algorithm
• it will then be controlled by the same notes as the synth – including mono legato and glide
• of course. The Freezer The FREEZER module will freeze the audio coming in to the plug-in when you click its big snowflake button
• sustaining the current timbre indefinitely. It is placed before the pitch quantizer module so that you can play melodies with it. You can load and save freeze buffers
• building a library of colours as you go. The Dice The DICE button in ORANGE VOCODER IV triggers a randomizer
• which will load randomly selected
• but carefully designed
• settings into the synth
• vocoder and freezer modules – giving you the inspirational infusion that a randomiser brings to the table
• but creating only useful results. No more of the click - meh! - click - OUCH -click- srsly?. You can exclude any module from the dice-roll
• select whether you want to use musical or SFX-ish sounds (or both)
• and whether to use the factory sub-presets or your own (or
• again
• both). The DICE are context-aware
• so if you're in the synth view
• only the synth will be rolled.  The Zynth Akin to the DICE
• the ZYNTH button is made for getting inspired – clicking it will create a new synth setting from scratch. The ZYNTH combines scripting and AI
• and reliably produces great patches. Check it out! System Requirements Mac macOS 10.15.x or newer
