Have you gone through the presets yet? If not, I suggest you do. If your presets don't sound good at all, then maybe there's a problem? I've found a few good presets that'll work with some tweaking, and have created a couple more that are good...

Yes, those presets are the last ones on Bank D.
I have done a few clips of Virus vocoder too.
Check them out if you like.

Make sure you guys have everything hooked up properly and are getting a good signal from the mic to the Virus. I usually run mine through the mixer's mic preamps before sending to the Virus.

Under "Control" (I think), almost all the way to the right, there's an LFO mode setting, or something like that... There's a setting where the LFO lights indicate the strength of the signal coming in the input. Also under Control (I think) is a setting called Input Boost that you can use as a mic pre to bring the mic up to proper level.

Check that stuff out first... I've gotten some really great sounds out of the vocoder without much fuss... Grab a cool preset, tweak a little until it's perfect, and then go :-)

boldawn, really?
I thought my own vocoder samples were pretty intelligible.
My friends knew what I was saying through the vocoder.

I have to try again I think, I haven�t managed to get a good vocoder sound....
With the JP8080 it was a bit easier...........................
Are the sounds made for the vocoder really good or has someone better ?

norsez, I didn't refer to YOUR sounds. I havn't checked them out yet. I meant the preset vocoder sounds. BTW, I have tried using a mixer as a pre-amp and I'm using a Shure SM-58 beta, so the mic is not the problem. I think I'm giving up, I'm going to the store for clearing this.

boldawn,
i think what the guy actually meant was
"i can do it on my virus, you should also be able to"
From his example clips I think the Virus can definitely do
pretty good vocoder speech.
