At first glance, you might think that this is some kind of cheesy vst that someone put together and that it doesn't do much, but you would be overlooking one of the most creative and easy to use sound manipulation plugins of all time.  This is Effectrix by a great company called Sugar Bytes.  The company was started by Robert Fehse (formerly with Native Instruments) and Rico Baade.  Their goal has been to create "great products that can do more stuff with less buttons, that have more features with less instructions,  and that are simply more fun and less expensive." I can say that they have been achieving those goals with Effectrix and other great products like Artillery 2.  This tool is great for coming up with wonderful variations of loops or for creating intriguing audio for sound design.   For more information and a demo copy of Effectrix (which I highly recommend), please visit http://www.sugar-bytes.de/content/products/Effectrix/index.php#

TAL-Vocoder is a vintage vocoder emulation with 11 bands that emulates the sound of vocoders from the early 80’s. It includes analog modeled components in combination with digital algorithms such as the SFFT (Short-Time Fast Fourier Transform).
This vocoder does not make a direct convolution of the carrier and modulation signal as other digital vocoders maybe do. It includes an envelope follower for every of the eleven bands. This vocoder is optimized for voice processing and includes some algorithms for consonants to make the voice more intelligible.
The carrier signal is a VCO (Voltage Controlled Oscillator) with a Pulse, Saw, Noise and SubOsc. But it’s also possible to use the left stereo input as carrier. This way every sound source can be used as carrier signal. This plug-in supports every sample rate.
