When Vocoder Meets Synth!

Here's the coolest vocoder plug-in you're probably ever going to find - the Waldorf Lector. What's the big deal about Lector? Simple. Although any vocoder can combine a carrier signal (the tone) with a modulator signal (the voice or other rhythmic element), Lector's actually got a killer built-in 16-voice synth/sampler. That means you never have to rout anything or hunt for the perfect sound. With Lector, glistening, chirping, robotic, tinkling, sparkling, swirling, and just plain odd vocoder effects are all at hand. And (as if Lector wasn't already about as cool as it gets), this amazing vocoder also comes with a ton of amazing onboard effects. You're going to love the crazy, fun, and exciting effects you'll come up with, when you use Waldorf's Lector!
