Sound Similar to Plaid by Making Percussive-Toned Beats

A demonstration of the “percussive-toned beats” effect.

Using TAL Vocoder (free), you can make some really interesting “percussive-toned beats” that have a sound similar to the band, Plaid. But, you have to use the vocoder in an unusual way. The idea came to me as I read an interview with the members of Plaid – a band I like.
