It was the 2nd of July, 2014. The crack team of dirac engineers in their small, windowless room had been working in silence for hours on end without success in fixing this bug in their software. It wasn't often that they heard themselves think over the hiss of the computer's cooling fans anymore. Suddenly, one of them couldn't resist putting whatever he could find onto the speaker monitor to liven up the mood even a little bit more. And then all hell broke loose! Just as he got ready to reach for something else one last time, an overwhelming ring came through his synthesizer's outputs—and when he realized what was happening, it was too late for him to do anything about it... For those who don't know much about electronic music production, the DIRAC-VOCO is actually one of the most popular Vocodecs among techno musicians. The concept behind an effect like this is very simple—when the level of a signal is boosted/cut, this can be applied to almost any sound or instrument. If you want to boost or cut the volume for a drum beat, you will have to do so again on each new strike on each drum. This process requires too much time, so digital Vocodecs were created to automate the process and speed up the overall sound of a kick or snare hit. In the case of the DIRAC-VOCO, a sound runs through a microphone and then into a filter that automatically shifts the pitch up or down. The longer a user holds down a key on their MIDI keyboard, the higher or lower the pitch raises or drops. This is why it's so popular among producers to use these Vocodecs in techno songs—one note can sound like an entire drum beat if automated well enough. The problem started when one engineer decided to throw his phone onto the speaker monitor as he was looking for something else to throw at it. All of a sudden, the whole room erupted in laughter and suddenly, the engineer found himself suddenly standing alone in front of his keyboard staring down at a display that read: "VOCO ERROR - DIRAC-VOCO". A wave of panic swept through the small room as everyone quickly looked around them to see if any one else had accidentally done something that could have caused this. After a few moments passed by and no one had yet come forward with their blank face and dejected posture, they all quietly got back to work and tried their hardest to make sure this error never happened again. When they still had no idea how to resolve the issue, engineers decided to open up the DIRAC-VOCO's source files (a.k.a. "source code") and make some changes to it—creating what is now known as the first ever "multivoice". The first recording by a multivoice was made using a young boy who could mimic the sound of almost any other instrument perfectly... The engineer (who brought his phone into the room that day) quickly joined them, but he wasn't assigned an instrument to play until one of them found out that he could produce some rather convincing drum beats because of his previous experience with drum programming in music software. eccc085e13
