Making a MicroKorg patch for talkbox 

Didn’t know that was a thing! Nice.

Hey do you have the presets for the micro korg software for the talk box

⁠@@davidromerovlogs5039no I don’t have my microkorg anymore

haha fasho

what settings do you use for your mxr?

If you've got a DX100 I've got you 😎

XL patch coming soon, but it will be a patch file to download and import from the Talkbox Master Class. Also includes amazing talkbox patches for MiniNova, DX100, Sub37. Link for TMC in the description

Here it is!! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-7ni7k71kStY.html&lc=Ugy7mv5yYXEhAeAnJE94AaABAg

There is no mic because we're just showing how to make a talkbox patch. You can't see in the video but I have a tube in my mouth from a TalkStar talkbox, which is what the Micro is plugged into. The talkbox is amplifying the sound through a tube into my mouth, thern I'm shaping ther words and what you're hearing is the result from my mouth like I'm singing with synthesizer. Once again - this is NOT vocoder!!!

Our TalkStar self-powered talkbox. Available at https:thetalkstar.com

Using a Kork MicroKork synth and a TalkStar talkbox. A mic is only needed to record the sound of the talkbox from your mouth, or amplify it for a live stage performance, just like a human voice.

@Mr. No Weapon (The Prince Of The Talkbox) Can you share the link to it please ?

Roger Taylor?

@rap heaven Nah Roger Taylor is better

@rap heaven Actually i think that he is

@rap heaven Dude you're now seriously comparing som weird 10 bpm autotuned dude from the 80s who's singing about his willing to be your mom, and Roger freakin'Taylor?

@rap heaven Want to admit, that i'm not a "nigga", sir. And you spelled the word "weird" incorrectly my dear. And i didn't even start to talk about the fact, that if you would go, and search "Roger Troutman I Want to Be Your Mom genre" you'll see, my dear, that the genre of this piece is rap/hip-hop, and if you would go and just search a little further than that, to the page of wikipedia you will probablly see, that the genre is R&B - which i believe is the real genre by judging the atmosphere and slowness of this piece, so may i admit that you you are completely wrong in every sentence you have said, darling.

We make the TalkStar, the only professional self-powered talkbox designed for synthesizer use, to get the highest quality "Roger sound" available. We also include FREE enrollment into our Talkbox Master Class, the only comprehensive online training course to master the difficult techniques of playing talkbox. Check us out at thetalkstar.com - You can also watch "The Test" where we did our first demo in Nashville with Byron "Mr. Talkbox" Chambers ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-FneJF479gSo.html

Every talkbox will sound different, especially comparing to a TalkStar. The TalkStar has a "tone" and "edge" knob that does change the talkbox sound. If selecting saw wave sounded the same as this video, you can save your patch as a saw wave and hopefully use that. Check out why Byron "Mr. Talkbox" Chambers switched from MXR when he heard the TalkStar. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-FneJF479gSo.html

@@thetalkstar thanks I'll take a look!

@@thetalkstar cant afford a talkstar is there a lessor unit that will get decent results?

@@ifunk4ucgb You can use a synth with a less expensive self-powered talkbox like the MXR or Banshee, and it's not a bad place to start out. BUT there is nothing close to the sound of the TalkStar. The reason it is more expensive is the quality and power of the components (among other features). It's like asking "why is a Moog synth $1500-$4000 when you can get a Korg or Novation synth for $400?" The TalkStar was engineered meticulously for use with a synth, whereas the other self-powered (less expensive) talkboxes are merely guitar pedals. Hope that clarifies things!!

I have a talkstar and it’s the same with my microKORG. Saw sounds the same but square and triangle sound super smoothe and dull.

No mic was used in this video, it's all coming from the talkbox (my mouth to be exact) and picked up by the camera mic. When recording, a great mic for talkbox is the Shure SM7B paired with a Cloud Lifter - THE best!!!

This has nothing to do with the vocoder, we are using the MicroKorg with a TalkStar talkbox. These are two very different things, they just both sound kind of robotic.

I'm sorry, the yamaha PSR-E373 is not an ideal keyboard for talkbox and has very limited ability to program a custom patch. Consider a synth like this MicroKorg or the Novation MiniNova for a great talkbox tone.

We will try to get an XL+ and do a patch video for that soon!!

Thank you for the answer

Here is our MiniNova tutorial - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-7ni7k71kStY.html&lc=Ugy7mv5yYXEhAeAnJE94AaABAg

Ooops!! I'm not a patch video specialist, just tryna help bro!!

If you want to take advantage of the PEDAL/THRU mode feature of your TalkStar, you will need a momentary foot pedal (non-latching) WITH a polarity switch. If it does not have a polarity switch, there is a chance it will not work,if you connect a foot pedal to your TalkStar When you connect a foot pedal to the PEDAL input on your TalkStar, it should turn off the blue lights on the driver and turn on a small red LED inside the unit. This will give you a visual cue that it is in THRU mode, by-passing the talkbox amp and driver and letting the sound from your synthesizer play directly out of the THRU jack. This would allow you to play another sound from your synth during a live show! If it does not work like described above, then the polarity is wrong and you need to just switch the polarity on the pedal.

For some reason i thought the talkbox was a mic, not a tiny speaker going through the tube that you shape the sound back into the mic. Now it makes more sense.

Are pling tips included in your talk box course?

We're using talkbox, not vocoder. It's a very different process.

The stock vocoder ones are buttcheeks. Just record over 1-7 on those

We have an amazing DX100 patch in our Talkbox Master Class thetalkstar.com/course/talkbox-masterclass/

Same problem for me.

Mine sounds like a sine wave

@@andrewsiordia7489 Maybe its your talkbox itself...which talkbox unit are you using? This was done with a TalkStar, which is very high power and specifically designed for synthesizer use. thetalkstar.com

Official Fingazz I use The Heil talkbox. And mine dosnt Sound as powerful as in The video... What kind of amp should I get?

@@markmortensen8564 Sorry for the very late reply... Not sure what amp to recommend to make the Heil sound like this. Our TalkStar talkbox is self-powered with a perfectly designed hi quality analog power amp, paired with a hi power rated horn driver that sends the signal through to the tube with no resistance with our custom "Anti-Vortex" tube adapter. We also have an "Edger" circuit that adds harmonic distortion to the signal to make it even more crisp and clear. This is the only talkbox on the market designed for use with a synthesizer, all others are merely guitar pedals. Learn more at thetalkstar.com

Hey Rodney, I was using the TalKStar professional self-powered talkbox. www.thetalkstar.com - It's the only self-powered talkbox designed for synth use, not guitar. - Cheers!!
