    What I often do to create a robot voice is, say the words in reverse order and put them back in order with editing.

    The second example of Pitch and Formant shifting using the robot setting of LittleAlterBoy sounds very similar to the T1 series tactical droids from the Clone Wars series. I have been trying to find a way to recreate this effect, so this is a perfect find. Thanks!

    Another approach is granular sampling, along with techniques to add "glitchy" stutters and sample-holds.

    I love these things and have recently become facinated by how complex of a robotic voice processing scheme they use for the game Atomic Heart. They have all kinds of robots and they all have their different processing, from ring mod to the pitch layered and high frequency frequency cross modulation effects added to different robot models. But what really fascinated me is that for the "char-les" glove and nora crafting station, the intensity and modulation of the applied affect varies across intonation. If the char-les glove speaks in a low tone, there's only one pitch you can hear, but as higher his intonation becomes the more different pitch bloom in. And the ring modulation of the tereshkova and nora voices also modulate in a certain way depending on the way they speak. Must have been a lot of work to process all these sentences.

  • @TJ-hs1qm
    @TJ-hs1qm 5 років тому +4

    I got really good results out of Paul Stretch (or PaulXStretch if you prefer the plugin)
    Set stretch amount to 1.0 and FFT size to 0.29 and you're set (edit: on a vocal sample ofc)
    Out of the box it gets you right in the ballpark for the Russian robo voice from Better Than Us (Netflix)

Do you know if an app on IOS exists that can do this LPC processing? I've been searching for years and haven't found any. Thanks.

    Don’t forget one of the original voice synthesis creations by Texas Instruments in 1980 was the PHP 1500 solid state speech synthesizer side cart for the TI-99/4a computer / game console. It creates phonemes and sounds like the voice on Radiohead Happier Fitter and Limp Biscuit Behind Blue Eyes
