CYLON. need I say more?
Hardly ever post reviews but wanted to w/ this one (esp after seeing the less impressed posts).
While none the presets grabbed me, after a few minutes of tweaking I hit my gold standard of vocoding: the Cylons from OG Battlestar Galactic (esp compared to my boss
se-70 fx unit vocoder, while close, this gets it perfect. also love the aesthetics of that super early 80s gui.
Reviews say it’s not intelligible enuff and words aren’t clear or understood? Well that’s pretty much what vocoders of that era sounded like.. This is not a ‘California love’ vocoder but something special and unique and super fun to play with in real-time, esp with the midi control.

Very cool....
This is a very cool instrument, had some issues engaging the midi.

Better price elsewhere
This was a black friday treat for me but soon after I bought it. I realised this isn't a UAD unison plugin and the version from softube is the same. But way cheaper. Unless I'm missing something of course. Is likely

Unique
Fits well and feels realistic when combined with vocals and fun to play with on percussion.

Good sound and easy to use

Poor vocoder
Pretty useless vocoder and it sounds terrible on most sources.

Useful as an effect more than a vocal vocoder
I've found the Softube Vocoder to be more useful as an audio effect as opposed to a typical vocal vocoder. I dig it for a different reason.

Good sound, poor manual
It was hard to find out how to set up the vocoder in Logic Pro. It took some mailing with Softube (the company that build the plug-in) before I realised what had to be done. Once I did, the sound and ease of use in the GUI was fine!

Review
Don’t have too much experience with other Vocoder plugs, but this works. The presets sucked for what I was looking for. I started at default and played with the settings until I found what I liked. You can find a lot of good sounds that way. I’d like to try the midi capability. That seems pretty wild.

Not quite there
I was looking for a decent, straightforward Vocoder plugin, to be able to finally avoid the hassle of setting up my old Roland SVC-350. I hoped this could be a solution but it isn't, by no means (at least yet). The sound is ok but not brilliant, the MIDI implementation isn't up to scratch, and it looks like some functions sometimes don't even work (octave). I hope you guys will release an improved 2.0 version soon, you can certainly do better than this.

Wasn't real sure at first, but now I am really happy with the Softube Vocoder.... Does what it is suppose too, do at a price I could afford.....

Great sound, limited functionality,
I like using the Softube Vocoder when inserted as an software instrument plug-in within Logic Pro X. This enables external MIDI keyboard input. An audio track is then selected as a side chain to articulate the MIDI notes. The method for doing this is not described in the Softube Vocoder manual. See Eventide plug-in manual. It would be cool if the Vocoder LFO speed was variable and/or syncable. Kudos for sound quality.

Simple and beautiful ;-)
As expected!

No LFO rate control :(
It‘s easy to set up, the sound is OK even though quite digital sounding, it integrates well into the mix and the stereo feature is really good at not ruining the mono compatibility. The lack of a carrier input is painful but still somewhat acceptable. But how could they not allow for any control of the LFO speed at all?
