Computer Music Review: Alien Robot Vox
This pack focuses on vocoder loops a la Daft Punk, Mylo and Air, ranging from 90-126bpm. We were initially concerned that the results would be a little thin and "70's Sci-Fi", but au contraire: Alien Robot Vox is filled with fizzy, deep and full vocoded effects, sounds and phrases. What makes it so good is that these aren't just standard cliche'd phrases that have been quickly run through a vocoder plug-in.
Instead, every sound is crafted and effected to bring out the best of it. The results are at once both authentically retro and thoroughly modern – immediately usable yet filled with heaps of analogue grit and noise.
Slit up into categories such as Rhythmic Melodies and Autotalk Androids, Alien Robot Vox covers all vocal effect bases, from subtle electronic soundscapes to vocal hooks that could fuel a breakdown or even a full track. Electro house tunes will probably be the biggest beneficiary of this pack, but there's enough to cover everything from Kraftwerk minimal to Boys Noize techno.
