EFFECT
a: OSC Mode, b: Note Interval, c: Fine
The “OSC Mode” parameter selects the oscillator operation mode.
When Note (Key Follow) is selected, the oscillator’s frequency is
determined based on the note number, allowing you to use it as
an octaver. The “Note Interval” parameter sets the pitch offset
from the original note number by semitone steps. The “Fine”
parameter allows you to fine-tune in steps of cents.
e: Envelope Pre LPF
This parameter sets the upper limit of the frequency range to
which very low harmonics are added. Adjust this parameter if
you do not want to add lower harmonics to the higher range.
13: Talking Mod
(Talking Modulator)
This effect adds an unusual character, like a human voice, to
the input signal. Modulating the tone via dynamic modula-
tion, you can create an interesting effect that sounds as if the
guitar or synthesizer is talking.
d: Top, d: Center, d: Bottom
These parameters assign vowels to the top, center, and bottom
position of the controller.
Example: Suppose that “Top” is set to A, “Center” to I, and “Bot-
tom” to U.
If “Sweep Mode” is set to Dmod and “Control Src” to PBEND
(
microX: JSX ), moving the [PITCH] wheel from the lowest (down)
position to the highest (up) position ( microX: moving the joystick
from the right edge toward the left edge) will change the vocal
character through the range “aah,” “iih” and “uuh.”
If Sweep Mode is set to LFO, the sound will change cyclically
from “a” to “i,” “u,” “i,” then “a.”
e: Formant Shift
This parameter adjusts the frequency level to which the effect is
applied. If you wish to apply the effect to a higher-range sound,
set this parameter to a higher value; to apply the effect to a lower-
range sound, set this to a lower value.
h: Resonance
This parameter sets the intensity of resonance for the voice pat-
tern. A larger value will add more character to the sound.
