e: Formant Shift
By offsetting the Carrier filter, you can adjust the height of the frequency
range to which the vocoder effect is applied. The tonal quality will change
significantly.
g: Noise Level
This parameter enables you to mix white noise with the Carrier.
h: Modulator High Mix
This parameter sets the high-range output level of the modulator sound. If
the modulator is a human voice, it will make the words more clear.
Using the vocoder with the microphone input
When programming the Vocoder, you can start from one of the specially pro-
grammed
Vocoder Keyboard Sets (in the Synth group) as templates.
To use a voice from a microphone as a modulator:
1 Press the MIC button to turn the microphone channel off.
2 Connect a microphone to the Mic Input.
3 Set Modulator Source to FX Control 1 .
4 Speak into the microphone while you use the GAIN knob (next to the MIC
input) to adjust the level as high as possible without allowing distortion to
occur.
With these settings, the sound from the microphone will be used as the mod-
ulator. While you play, speak into the mic; it will sound as though the instru-
ment is talking.
If the effect sound is distorted, adjust the
Carrier Trim and Modulator Trim .
Please remember to set the Carrier track’s Dry parameter to Off, and the
Send value to 127.
