788
Source [Off…Tempo]
Selects the modulation source for the Output Level .
Amount [+/–100]
Sets the modulation amount for the Output Level .
OUTPUT
This is the standard effects output section, with modulatable
control over wet/dry balance. For more information, see
“OUTPUT” on page 762.
025: Piano Body/Damper
This effect simulates the resonance of the piano sound board
caused by the string vibration, and also simulates the
resonance of other strings that are not being played when
you press the damper pedal. It will create a very realistic
sound when applied to acoustic piano sounds.
SOUND BOARD
Depth [0…100]
This parameter sets the intensity of the soundboard’s
resonance.
DAMPER
Depth [0…100]
This parameter sets the resonance intensity of the other
strings created when the damper pedal is pressed. The
Source parameter, below, selects the modulation source
from which the damper effect is applied. Usually, select
Damper (CC# 64).
Source [Off…Tempo]
Selects the modulation source of damper effect.
The effect is off when a value for the modulation source
specified for the
Source parameter is 63 or smaller, and
the effect is on when the value is 64 or higher.
TONE
Tone [1…100]
This controls the brightness of the soundboard resonance.
Mid Shape [0…36]
This controls the mid-range frequencies of the resonance.
Higher values
decrease the amount of mid-range
frequencies.
Tune [–50…+50]
This controls the fine-tuning of the resonance. Since this
effect simulates the resonance of the strings, the sound varies
depending on the pitch. If you have changed tuning using the
“Master Tune” (GLOBAL > Basic Setup– Basic page),
adjust this parameter value.
OUTPUT
This is the standard effects output section, with modulatable
control over wet/dry balance. For more information, see
“OUTPUT” on page 762.
026: Vocoder
Vocoder overview
Vocoder effects superimpose the timbre of one signal (the
modulator) onto that of a second signal (the carrier). The
first vocoders were intended mostly for speech effects. For
instance, you can produce the classic “talking synthesizer”
sound by using a voice as a modulator and a bright
synthesizer pad as a carrier.
This is only part of the effect’s potential, however. You can
use vocoders to combine practically any two sounds, as long
as the frequency ranges overlap sufficiently. Drums make
particularly good modulators, for instance.
A vocoder is essentially a combination of a multi-band
frequency analyzer and a multi-band dynamic EQ. The
modulator signal is divided up into a number of frequency
bands, and the levels of each of these bands are measured in
real time. A multi-band dynamic EQ is slaved to the
analyzer, following the changes in each band of the
modulator with similar changes in the EQ of the carrier. This
causes the carrier to assume some of the timbre of the
modulator.
It’s best for the carrier to contain a wide range of
frequencies. If there is little or no material in some of the
bands to begin with, the EQ will have nothing to alter, and
the vocoder’s effect will be less distinct. If you want to use a
particular sound as the carrier, but it doesn’t seem to have a
sufficient frequency range, try using the
Noise Level
parameter to mix in some of the vocoder’s built-in noise
generator.
