Microfreak Vocoder exploration

with a $7 lav mic

I saw a lavalier microphone in the Supermarket electrics section for $7, so I thought I'd test the vocoder mode on the Arturia Microfreak.

I followed these instructions to some pretty quick success. I made this quick ditty about getting the vocoder working.

While watching the Philadelphia Eagles beat the LA Rams, I made this "The New York Giants Are In Hell Right Now" song.

Then I did some more playing around.

In short, the Arturia Microfreak's vocoder is powerful and easy to use!! I could imagine this lavalier workflow working like, as I can sing through the main mic and pick up my voice for the vocoder with the lav mic.
