Articulator is a modern digital version of the classic talk box, made famous on recordings by artists like Peter Frampton, Zapp, and Bon Jovi. Perfect for talking guitars, singing synths, and a wide range of special effects. If you’ve ever seen a guitarist with a plastic tube in their mouth and a guitar that sounds like it’s talking, then you have a basic idea of what a talk box is. A physical talk box works by applying a filter (the human mouth) to an audio signal (usually a guitar or synth). Articulator models this process by extracting the formant and amplitude information from a vocal track and applying it to another audio track or to its built-in noise generator in real time. Articulator also features a built-in EQ, a formant modulation section, which lets you sculpt your vocal sound using our throat modeling technology, and an amplitude modulation control, which lets you dial in exactly how much of the effect you want on your track.
