BV512 Digital Vocoder

The BV512 is in an effect category all on its own and perhaps one of the most unique effects found in Reason. The idea of the vocoder goes back to the late 1920s when telephone companies were trying to find new ways to push larger amounts of telephone information through the phone lines. Although the idea never really made it to prime time in the telephone market, today we can enjoy the interesting effect the vocoder has musically.
