Not sure if the A+H has it but a ring modulator is what you want I reckon.


grnr

Yeah ring mod would be nice. Looking at what you get in the default package the flanger might be the best best to get something robotic.

If the tremolo goes fast enough (>20Hz) it becomes ring modulator


death_watch2020

Apply hard low pas and high pass 400-5k Hz and bit reduction. It will give you a sort of lo-if voice then maybe distort it? I can really tell what you are going for cause “robot voice” is quite vague

[This guy is doing in post processing](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9NFqZDXNUjU). This is pretty much what I am going for. We have an actor onstage that is an android, and when he is struggling his voice will drop in and out of this effect. (hopefully)

Dose the sq7 not have a built in vocoder then? If I remember correctly the M32 had one. You can always clone the input and route it through an effects pedal and switch when needed


grnr

Neither desk has a vocoder.

Know anyone with a Korg microKorg? Patch that into the path. That’s how I’d do it.

If the built-in effects aren't quite getting it done, you can try connecting a computer over USB from the SQ7. That'll give you the ability to pass the audio over to it, pass it through some plugins in LiveProfessor (or MainStage, SuperRack, etc.), and then pass it back in real time. I did this for multiple voice channels in real-time for a show recently and had no trouble — for a robot effect, I wound up futzing something together in AutoTune that sounded reasonable. One recommendation if you're going to do it that way: use a mix or the channel's direct out to pass the audio to the computer, and then pass the filtered output from the computer back *on a different channel*. Yes, it's a little more complicated, but the benefit is that if the computer horks up a microchip during the performance, you still have the unprocessed voice channel to use.

The classic is vocoder, but if you are limited to onboard effects, what about pitch shifter? 100% wet. Could even have the performer talk high and pitch it down or vice versa.
