Using the Vocoder/Auto Pitch
A “vocoder” is an eect that is typically applied to a human voice. By sending
a human voice through a vocoder, you can give it an unexpressive robot-like
character. The pitch is controlled by playing the keyboard.
Auto Pitch sounds suppress pitch irregularity, producing a pitch-corrected sound.
By applying a stair-step constraint to pitch change, this creates a mechanical eect.
