that vocal effect sounds like akai timestretch being used to the extremes (200% +) and then gated
.

In Cubase I use the effect called "midi gate" on the audio channel (in this case the vocal)
Then set a midi track\channel to control the gate plugin (instead of selecting a VST instrument)

Now whatever patterns you draw into the grid on that channel will cause the gate to either open or close depending on how you set it. you also have control for depth, attack and release

not sure how you'd do it in Logic but i assume it would be similar

I need a sample to use so I'll have to look in to that, If you have one then send it over and I'll do it in hardware, it'll come back as a wave file.

The gated control is good I'll have to try that, I have camel space at the moment that is working great on my samples.

The one thing I hate about all this sample manipulation talk is that I have no bloody samples in one place to use. I never liked any of the samples I bought and haven't really found and good hooks. I'm a bit tight to buy any more samples these days so if anyone has a place that I can download some hard dance, male/female vocals then please do share

I do have a sample from a song that goes it's 4 o'clock in the morning, so I'll snip that down and do the timestretch thing.

Got the link to the above free plugin from a dude in the Roland forums.
Looks good, I tend not to go down the plugin route but will give this one a go.

(Kris no worries on the vocals mate)..

fired up this Glitch plugin thingy, its a gem, very easy to use and really flexible.. took me (noob) about 5 mins from installing it to getting that stutter/ gated effect in perfect time. It does it very well and can offer many variations, and this just one effect of 8 that it has.

Totally recommended to anyone looking to manipulate vocals (any wavs) in that glitchy, stuttery, gated manner. Would be really great with beat loops too.

sounds good will check it out. been using camel space for my gates but want the glith stuff too.

This is great. I´ve been wondering how these effects where done and wanted to do them myself. I will test it tonight. Thanks for the link

this vst is one of the best I've ever used, has to be said. Ieven went and pulled out all my old school (you know they weren't old school when I bought them) Sampled in some hits and loops and hey presto add in vst and slow things down, some very heavy music coming from me next
