The team at Bjango has unveiled Robot Rocket, a new audio plugin that captures the unmistakable sound of classic 90s vocoders while adding the clarity, precision, and control today’s producers expect. Available now for macOS and Windows, Robot Rocket offers both nostalgic warmth and futuristic versatility.
Whether you’re chasing that signature Daft Punk-era tone or sculpting entirely new textures, Robot Rocket makes it easy to infuse your mixes with expressive, synthetic character.

Two Distinct Modes for Total Control
Retro Mode
Step back into the 90s with a faithful recreation of the original vocoder sound.
- TalkBox delivers the classic lo-fi robotic tone you’ve heard on countless hits.
- NuVo allows sibilant sounds to pass through for improved intelligibility.
- TazMania swaps the synth input for white noise, creating an eerie whisper effect that’s as strange as it is fun.
Modern Mode
Flip the switch to Modern Mode for more detail, depth, and customization.
- Quality control enhances smoothness and articulation.
- Shift pitch-shifts the voice input to reshape the filter for new tones.
- Crush dials back fidelity to vintage 16-bit, 31.25kHz grit.
- Low and high pass filters are tuned to match the character of the original hardware.
These flexible modes make Robot Rocket as capable of polished vocal textures as it is of gritty, experimental effects.
Compatibility and Requirements
Robot Rocket runs as both a VST3 and Audio Unit v3 plugin and requires a host application with sidechain support.
- Audio Unit: macOS 14 or later
- VST3: macOS 13 or later, or Windows 10+
