For only $34.99 (instead of $175), get LECTOR (Affiliate Link) – a tremendously versatile VST plugin by Waldorf!
LECTOR (Affiliate Link) by Waldorf is a powerful vocoder that contains a polyphonic synthesizer based on the legendary Waldorf sound engine. I have always enjoyed the sound of Vocoders and found them one of the best ways to add excitement and catchy sounds to tracks but have often found it hard to find one that works well in the box. Considering this, I was delighted to find that Lector was incredibly user friendly and had a wide range of applications that could quickly help you get a robotic voice or make a percussion part sound like it is from an alien world.
Lector puts in your hands a sonic toolset for a wide range of diverse applications. Just about anything goes, from distorting the human voice to adding subtle harmonies to lead vocals and getting creative with movie soundtracks.
Robot voices, whispering strings, talking drum loops, rhythmic pads, the resonant ringing of bells, dripping water – the possibilities are all but infinite. With a quick tweak here and there, the Lector turns any incoming signal into novel sounds and effects.
LECTOR Features
- 3 to 100 band Vocoder
- Adjustable range of Analysis Filter Bank
- Adjustable offsets and LFO modulation of Synthesis Filter Bank
- 3-band Equalizer with variable mid band
- Individual Compressors for Speech and Carrier signal
- Voiced / Unvoiced Detector
- Overdrive (types Tube, Diode, Clip)
- Stereo Chorus / Flanger, 2 to 6 stages
- Stereo Delay, syncronizable
- Reverb
- Sidechain input (VST 3 and Audio Unit)
- Carrier plug-in (VST 2)
Lector analysis filter bank splits the incoming audio signal into as many as 100 frequency bands, the intensity of which modulates the volume levels of an equal number of band-pass filters in the synthesis filter bank. The integrated 16-voice synthesizer or an external source provides the input signal for the synthesis filter bank. This lets you do fun things like apply a melody line or chord sequence to articulate vocals or speech.
16-voice Synthesizer (per voice):
- Polyphonic, Monophonic or Free-Running
- 2 Oscillators, waveforms sine, triangle, sawtooth, pulse with pulse width modulation, sample&hold, noise, single and multi-sample playback
- FM
- Ring Modulation
- Portamento / Glissando
- 1 Filter, types Lowpass, Bandpass, Highpass, Notch (12dB and 24dB), Whitening
- 1 LFO, synchronizable, waveforms sine, triangle, sawtooth, square, sample&hold, noise
- 2 AR envelopes
The integrated 16-voice synthesizer sports two oscillators with quintessential analog waveforms such as sine, triangle, sawtooth, and square with variable pulse width, sample & hold, and noise, as well as freely loadable single and multi-samples. FM and ring modulation enrich the vocoder’s signal with further overtone spectra. The Lector also offers a selection of typical effects used to refine vocoder signals – tube overdrive, transistor distortion, and hard clipping, six-voice chorus/flanger, synchronizable stereo delay, and realistic reverb.
How To
Lector is used as an insert on an audio channel in your DAW. You can take any audio material, (preferably something with an interesting rhythm or voice) and have an instance of Lector on it. Once a LECTOR (Affiliate Link) instance is on your channel you can decide to either uses an internal carrier signal or control the pitch of the signal using midi information. I recommend playing around with a midi keyboard to get a feel for the sounds and possibilities.

Originally $175, LECTOR (Affiliate Link) is available for just $34.99 (80% Off) from today until September 21st, 2020
Nave (VST, AU, AAX) by Waldorf
The award-winning Nave has succeeded in changing perceptions of what a serious iOS instrument can be, thanks to unique sounds simply unachievable with any other synthesizer. The Waldorf Music team has often been asked when Nave would be available on other platforms. This new Nave brings that notable Nave sound engine to your favorite DAW.
Designers have optimized its spectacular graphical user interface to work with the tried-and-tested computer combo of keyboard and mouse (or track pad) rather than touch screen surface technology, yet nothing has been lost in translation.
Anyone at all familiar with Waldorf software instruments will immediately feel right at home with the typical Waldorf workflow where sound shaping modules are always directly accessible and all Arpeggiator, Envelopes, Effects, and Modulation Matrix management controls are only one push of a virtual button away. Nave compliments its standard yet classy chromatic keyboard with groundbreaking blades and pads to control the sound in different ways.
As a synthesizer thoroughbred at heart, Nave really represents a phenomenal playground for sound creation creativity. Its oscillators offer expanded wavetable functionality with elaborate editing facilities and an extremely effective speech synthesizer.
The featured-packed Nave comes pre-packed with superb sounds, ranging from spatial pads to vivid wavetable scans and cutting leads to solid basses, but, above and beyond that, also an abundance of incredibly imaginative sound worlds – many of them professionally produced by some of the top sound designers around.
Pricing and Availability
For only $59.99 (instead of $190), get Nave – the award-winning Advanced Wavetable Synthesizer by Waldorf!
