Thanks Florian for sharing your knowledge.
I thought that maybe buyng the HP filter only for the use you mentioned in
the vocoder is a little wasted....( ). If I just have one in the doepfer
synth architecture I can use it also for the vocoder in the way you
explained: do you think it will worth the purchase only for this use
I can also use the high pass output inside the A-129\1 for this purpose or a
sampled HPfiltered version of the formant..... in the first case I lost the
modulation of the filter but I think it is in a little range, in the second
case I just have to sinchronizing two recorded audio....
But I don't know if the result is the same you have in mind. I tried one
time the HP output of the A-129\1 but I was experimenting really a lot at
that time for have a right perception of the result! I'll try soon
again.....
My best regards.
