How can I select Analyse-signals and Carrier?
Selecting Sirius-Parts as the Analyse-signal:
Selecting Sirius-Parts as Carrier:
You already know that the sound of the Analyse-signal is transmuted into that of the Carrier-signal.
Four keys on the MIXER-panel decide which sources are to be fed into the Vocoder (Vocoder-
Routing): ANALYSE, CARRIER, CARRIER-EXT. and MICRO. The lit key indicates that the respective
sources are fed into the Vocoder. A lit ANALYSE- or CARRIER-key means that at least one SIRIUS-part
is selected as Analyse-signal or as Carrier-signal.
You have probably sensed already: The Sirius-Vocoder allows you to select several Analyse & Carrier-
signals simultaneously. But most of the time you will obtain a better sound result when only few parts
are routed to the Vocoder. Like so often in music, less is more.
The Vocoder always requires sound sources on both inputs. When you have selected only
the Carrier-signal or only the Analyse-signal whilst in sequencer mode, you will not hear any
Vocoder-sound. This is also the case if Carrier and Analyse-signals are not being played out at the
same time.
In order to select one or more parts of the Sirius as the Analyse-signal, first hold down the ANALYSE-
key of the VOCODER-panel. The lit keys under the dials will indicate which Parts have been selected
as Analyse-signals. While you still hold down the ANALYSE-key, turn on the key for the Part or Parts
which you wish to use as the Analyse-signal of the vocoder. That means you chose from KICK/BD,
SNARE, HIHAT, PERCUSSION and SYNTH 1-3. If you press the Part key again whilst holding down
the ANALYSE-key, you turn off the Analyse-function for that Part.
To select one or more Parts of the SIRIUS as the Carrier-signal you must first hold down the
CARRIER-key on the MIXER-panel. The lit keys under the dials will indicate which Parts have already
been selected as Carrier-signals. While you still hold down the CARRIER-key, turn on the key for the
Part you wish to use as Carrier of the Vocoder. That means you chose from KICK/BD, SNARE, HIHAT,
PERCUSSION and SYNTH 1-3. If you press the Part key again whilst holding down the CARRIER-key,
you turn off the Carrier-function for that Part.
Caution:

anymore.
