Electro-Harmonix Talking Machine Through a Roland Sequencer (demo)

I’m sorta fascinated with the Electro-Harmonix Stereo Talking Machine. I don’t own one (yet), but it might be one of my guilt splurges in the coming future. I recently saw a really cool video with this and a Theremin (I’ll have to talk about my Theremin deal in the next few days). The Talking Machine basically runs a signal through a vocal formant filter which creates vowel shapes. So you can get some interesting AH-OO and OW-EE sounds. You can also tweak the pedal to give some wah-type filter tones as well.

I watched a video today where a person is running a Roland Sequencer and passing that to the Electro-Harmonix Stereo Talking Machine. As they’re tweaking knobs, you can hear those vowel sounds. A pedal like this can be great to think outside of the box and to really explore your creativity.

Here is the video by zibbybone:
