5. Make sure that you have selected Synthesizer in the
Input section.
6. Create a MIDI track in your host application and make
sure that it is routed to Lector. Keep also in mind that the
MIDI track recognized MIDI data from a connected MIDI
matser keyboard.
7. Start the playback of your host application and play
some MIDI notes on your master keyboards. You can also
record MIDI notes for controlling the Lector vocoder.
8. Depending on your source signal, enhance the sibilent
frequencies to improve intelligibility by adjusting the UV
Detector. Make sure it’s on (indicated by the LED) and
adjust the values to your requirements.
Lector and an external Carrier Signal
This setup is great for processing the envelope of one
track onto another. For best results, you should be using
pad-like continuous sounds as carrier and percussive
signals as analysis signal.
1. Choose a track where you would like the audio to be
processed. Alternatively you can choose a virtual
instrument track (e.g. sample player). Load Lector directly
in this channel´s insert slots.
2. Now load the Lector Carrier plug-in on the desired
carrier channel (the channel where you would like the
audio to be processed. This could also be any audio or
instrument track. The Lector Carrier plug-in doesn’t have
any user interface and will look different in any
application . Make sure it is active.
3. Check the settings in the Output section. Only
“Vocoder” should be up, as shown in the screenshot.
4. Select Normal or Single in the Trigger section,
depending on if you would like the Vocoder to be
monophonic or polyphonic. You can also set it to Latch if
you want to trigger the Lector vocoder permanently with
the MIDI note C3.
