Swapping out lots of capacitors to improve intelligibility - it didn't work.

6BE6 pentagrid converter makes the best band pass filter out there 5844 twin triode is a good driver stage amp or signal inverter I am using 47 k plate resistor grounded cathode on all 5844 sections I will let you know as I figure out more of the conversion
Jullian, where did you get the bread boards youre using in this project?
What is this thing supposed to do ?
I might not sounds "correct", but it does sound COOL!
You'd love modular synthesisers, Julian. I could just see you building a Turing Machine module. Check out Robin Vincent's Molten Music Technology channel.
replacing components with the power still attached??? ahhhhhhhhh!
FINISH IT 😁😁😂❤ it's quite beautiful, I like this. Carry on! Be well.
That is a really unfortunate finger to use for pointing. I think you're #1 too!
Nice video
hi julian , love your videos. nice to see you do some work at the vocoders again. i have had half a lifetime of doing some stuff with synthesizers in an attic studio. the vocoders of the past have had my interest fir a long time so i know a little bit about them.
i think, creating a good robot voice, like done in some movies, is an art … as you said before they where developed for purposes of compression of information and nowadays they come in the form of voice compressors like lernhout and haupsie has made. and ham radios use them a lot . the vocoder i primary use now is in a korg radias. fully digital and serves all my purposes..my question, what is your interest in vocoders ?.. what you are doing here is not just hobby.. this seems like hard work i would say. some more questions.. what are you doing with the signal after the filters ? comparing it with a square carrier and output to mixer ? does each filter has its own carrier? is it the same as the filter frequency ? does it have enough harmonics ? my experience is that a ramped saw wave can also be a good carrier. that phase control you were showing btw…. maybe you should consider controlling that simultaniously for all bands with offsets and intermediate scaling….(if you have some time …..) , ghihihi hell of an instrument your building julian..greetz from holland
You're making music! It sounds like the vocoder effect used in the album "So" by Markus Pop of Oval.

Julian, are you scared to use your scopes? You are spending all this time building (which is fine) but you fail to do any testing or diagnostics. You need to test and see the results using a signal generator (single frequency at a time). Looks like you are still just modulating a SINGLE frequency with the sum amplitude of four filters – not the most desired use of a vocoder. Read my comments in the last video.
Love ya
With so many amps in the chain would not a lower noise opam p help? Cheapest low noise amp u can find will perform better at maybe even lower? Cost
When you reconnect the first channel, you can hear that it does not only outputs your carrier: it sounds more like a ring modulated version of it, so maybe the control voltage varies too fast: Try to smooth it out with a lpf, or increase the time const past the peak detector … Or both
