VOCODER SECTION
The lower parameter is “Voc insert”. In this case with a value of Program.
This parameter determines what is going to be the “Carrier” for the vocoder. Use the lower Data knob to adjust this parameter. In
Program mode, only the currently selected program can be used as the carrier for the vocoder & this parameter shows only the
Program option for clarity. In Performance mode, any of the 6 parts can be used as the carrier for the vocoder. The range of this
parameter is Program in Program Mode, Part 1 to Part 6 in Performance Mode. This parameter is memorised with a Program in
Program Mode or memorised with a Program or Performance in Performance Mode.
Page 3 looks like so:
The parameter is “Vocoder width” In this case with a value of 00.
This parameter determines how wide the stereo output of the vocoder will be. Use the upper Data knob to adjust this parameter. If
this parameter is set to 00, the output of the vocoder will be Mono. If this parameter is set to 15, the output of the vocoder will be
Stereo. The range of this parameter is 00 to 15. This parameter is memorised with a Program in Program Mode or memorised with
a Program or Performance in Performance Mode.
Page 4 looks like so:
The display is showing “Vocoder spectrum”.
On this page the Supernova II Rack displays the Audio spectrum of the modulator in 42 bands on the screen.
This is for display & is not memorised.
Setting up the Inputs for use with the Vocoder.
Set up the Input sensitivity with the “Gain” parameters on page 1 of the Inputs section menu. There are 2 Programs in memory
already that have the vocoder function assigned to them already, these are Program D123 Pulse vocoder in 1 & D124 Vocoder in
1. Both of these Programs use the input/sw1 socket as a source for the Modulator.
To set up a Program of your own is straightforward. Select a Program that is going to become the “Carrier” for the Vocoder. The
best “Carriers” tend to be bright Pads or similar. In fact Program B127 “Init Prog” is actually quite good for this purpose. In the fol-
lowing example B127 “Init Prog” will be the “Carrier”.Select Program mode or Performance mode. If in Program mode select B127.
If in Performance mode select the Part to be used for the vocoder, then assign Program B127 to that Part. Press the menu button
in the Vocoder section. ( the button will flash ) Use the page buttons to go to page 2 of this menu & the display will show:
Assign which Input to use as the “Modulator” source using the higher fast data knob. In program mode this will be limited to Input 1
& 2. In Performance mode the options increase to Input 1 & 2, Part 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 & 6. The bottom parameter determines what is
going to become the “Carrier”. In program mode there is only one choice, the currently selected Program. In Performance mode
the options are Part 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 & 6. ( Only one part can be assigned at once & only one Vocoder is available at once.)
