Behringer Vocoder VC16 High-Resolution 16-Band Vocoder Module

Start warming up your voice and get ready to robot-rock! The Behringer VOCODER VC16 combines six powerful synthesis engines with amazing polyphony and versatile oscillators and is sure to bring something new and exciting to your synth setup!

6 Digital Oscillators
The heart of the VC16 is its six digital oscillators that include triangle/ramp, square/pulse, multiple wave, noise, vox and FM across two carrier banks. These can be tweaked with the Carrier Shape control along with the Shape CV Attenuverter.

More Controls
Additional sound shaping options include:

• Formant
• Envelope Sense
• Resonance
• Cutoff
• Modulator
• Carrier

Ins and Outs
• MOD IN - this 3-pin XLR/1/4" TS jack allows you to plug in a mic or line level source
• MIDI IN - for interfacing with other MIDI equipped instruments
• GATE IN - trigger the envelope generator from an external source
• CV IN - control the carrier frequency from an external source
• AUD OUT - output VC16 audio at Eurorack level

Eurorack Ready
VOCODER VC16 is designed to fit into a standard Eurorack case. Just connect the power cables to the power supply and mount the module using the included screws. Mix VOCODER VC16 with other modules in your setup and start creating unique sequences that add a whole new dimension to your sound.
