vocoded
Synthesizer-altered voice sound
Vocoded describes audio that has been processed through a vocoder, a device that analyzes and synthesizes speech or music to produce a distinctive robotic or synthesized sound.
The effect became iconic in electronic music and sci-fi soundtracks, giving voices a mechanical, often eerie quality.
The vocoded vocals on that Daft Punk track are instantly recognizable.
Something vocoded sounds artificial and processed, stripped of natural human warmth.
