How to vocoder easy way?

[YanKleber]

I'd like to add some vocoder singing in my tracks such as the found in the chorus of "Talking in your sleep" (The Romantics) and "Mr. Blue Sky" (ELO).

I am a poor home producer limited to VSTs and a simple microphone. So I am looking for an easy and cheap way of doing it (if possible)...

Thanks.

PS: I use Reaper.

Reaper has a vocoder; ReaVocode. It is a bit fiddly to use, and I have to seem to re-learn it each time I use it.

You know how to insert a VST in the DAW FX window?

Morphoder is simple. DAW sees midi keyboard or not. Place Morphoder in the FX window.

Click midi to use your keyboard as guide.

I think that OVOX is what I am after. But I will check out the other suggestions. Thanks all!

Morphoder is a simple classic VST vocoder that is easy to use.

OVOX is a very nice vocal synth that can do anything. FX. Mapper. ARPer. Complex. Harder learning curve. Plenty of presets hundreds..

Both are from Waves. No I lok. Relatively inexpensive. Both have 7 day free functional trials.

Do you actually need a vocoder. How about hte good old Peter Frampton plastic pipe option.
I made one from a plastic pipe, an old telephone speaker, and a brass flange I came accross.

It won't give to me the sound of the songs I mentioned.

Yeah, I watched a video demo in YT and it seems to fit my needs for much less $$$.

I just found a totally free vocoder VST called TAL-Vocoder that sounds very decent for my needs, specially because I am after that characteristic sound of the 1980s.

Here's a video demo of it:
