WALDORF Lector

Lector is a software vocoder with superior intelligibility and performance, available as a VST/AU plug-in for easy integration with popular DAW software, featuring a 100-band stereo vocoder flanked by a synthesizer section and a rich effects section. The vocoder features up to 100 frequency bands in the analysis section, which control as many stereo bandpass filters in the synthesis bank, using envelope followers with adjustable attack and decay. The built-in synthesizer or an external source serves as the carrier signal and is fed into the synthesis filter bank. In addition to the effects section, there are numerous features that make this vocoder unique, such as the whitening filter, the ability to detune the filter bank, and more. N.B.
