093: Vocoder
This effect applies the character of the right channel signal
(Modulator) to the left channel signal input (Carrier). A com-
mon use of this effect is to produce the sound of various
instruments by inputting a voice to the Modulator via a
microphone. A special effect is also achieved by using rhythm
or effect sounds. Strings or distortion guitar sounds with a lot
of harmonics are suitable as a Carrier.
c: Formant Shift
By offsetting the Carrier filter, you can adjust the height of the fre-
quency range to which the vocoder effect is applied. The tonal
quality will change significantly.
f: Noise
This parameter enables you to mix white noise with the Carrier.
g: Modulator High Mix
This parameter sets the high-range output level of the right chan-
nel sound (Modulator). If the modulator is a human voice, it will
make the words more clear.
h: V/C, i: W/D
The “V/C” parameter sets the balance between the vocoder
sound and the left channel sound (Carrier). The “W/D” parame-
ter sets the balance between the effect and dry sound.
If you wish to change the intensity of the vocoder effect, select
Wet
for “W/D”, and adjust the balance using the “V/C” parame-
ter.
Using a voice from a microphone as a modulator
(Vocoder is selected for IFX2 in Program mode)
1
Set “Pan” (PROG 5. 1–1b) to L001 for Amp1 Level/Pan so that
the Carrier sound will be input only to the left channel. When
Mode (PROG 2. 1–1a) is set to Double, set Pan for Amp2
Level/Pan to L001.
2
To set up the input, use the Audio In (GLOBAL 1. 1–3).
Connect a microphone to AUDIO INPUT1 or INPUT 2 connec-
tor, and set the [LEVEL] switch to MIC.
While talking into the microphone, adjust the [INPUT] knob
so that the level is high enough, but the sound will not be dis-
torted.
For the Audio Input for the microphone, set Pan to R127 and
BUS (IFX/Indiv.) Select to IFX2.
Now the voice from the microphone is input to the modulator
channel. You can create the sound of a “talking” instrument
when you talk into the microphone while playing.
