I have a working FM synth and I want it to connect to the audio input so my voice will come out like a vocoder. My professor and I tried send and receiving with a send audio and send MIDI (working backwards) device, but I have issues with getting both midi signals and audio signals to interact with the synth.

What you're describing sounds more like cross-synthesis than vocoding.

 into the search window and follow the results....

What you're describing sounds more like cross-synthesis than vocoding. 

Type cross-dog into the search window and follow the results....

I particularly want to make vocals that have FM synth sounds rather than FM synths with vocal sounds. From what I read, cross-synthesis is for imprinting vocal like sounds into a Synth. I am mostly making this device for singing.

Then type "vocoder" into the search window....

Check out Menu Extras -> Examples Overview -> MSP -> Effects... Classic Vocoder.

They have nothing to do with my issue. I want to get an audio input into the equation, not a recorded sample. The main problem is that I have to get a Midi Device to interact with an Audio Device. Send and Receive don't work across devices of different kinds.

use the 'ezadc~' object(or you can use adc~ for more specific routing from the audio-I/O-interface of your computer) to get sound from your microphone, and then patch the output of adc~ to wherever you want.

you haven't posted the patch so there's no way for anyone to really know what you're going for here because when you describe this it's not clear where your 'audio input' really is:

^there are many input-possibilities to an FM synth, because there are many different ways to design one(and none of them have anything to do with what a 'vocoder' does)

if you have further questions, you can try starting from a patch like that(post it here), commenting where in the patch you're looking for help, people will have a better idea on how to help you.

best of luck 🍻


are you in max for live? i don't have problems sending stuff from devices of different kind.

If your on L10/Max8, you can get your audio input straight into the device with the new routing possibilities. It doesn't matter if your device is a midi device ;-)
