Best 3rd party Vocoder for Logic X?

DemonAV

Hi all.

I'm looking into investing in a third party vocoder plugin that is compatible with Logic X.
At present I'm using Logic's built in Vocoder but I'm getting a little frustrated with its limitations.

Anyone point me in the right direction please?
Many thanks.

I've never used the vocoder but the Waves plugins are all top quality. I can send you a $50 voucher through the refer a friend scheme if you wanted to pick it up. The sale ends tomorrow but that would make it $75 which is around £50. Otherwise they have plugin sales every weekend so you could wait for it to go on sale. I see they have a demo download too.

The Waves Morphoder is on sale for $29 today only if you're still after one.

Hiya Duncan.

I've downloaded the Morphoder demo and installed the Waves licence center to my mac but i can't find Morphoder on the list of downloads in the installation type window? any idea what I'm supposed to do?
Thanks.

From memory you need to download the installer program from their website. That lists every single plugin and so you would just select Morphoder. The other part is activating the plugin in your waves account so that it shows up in the licence centre. I'll have a look at mine tomorrow in case there's anything I'm missing out.

Hiya mate.
Sorry I got it up & running last night. Works really well, so good in fact I bought the full version. It's a lot different to using the vocoder synth built into Logic as it seems you don't need to side chain it to your audio. Also the midi switching so you can use a controller keyboard seems to switch it off for some reason. I'm sure it's me pressing something wrong as I'm still learning how to use it.
I'll be searching Youtube later for some good tutorials.
Thanks.
