The following overview shows you all basic programmes of the 11 Bandwidth-Vocoder and gives you
tips concerning these basic settings. Although we have said that some programmes are more suited to
vocals and others more to artificial sounds, these tips should not be considered as hard and fast rules.
The results depend a lot on what sound characteristics the audio-source has. So experimenting with
the different basic programmes and audio-sources is the order of the day! This is what makes the
Vocoder such an exciting tool: nothing says that you can not try the programme "InverseV" when
your voice is being used to modulate a Synth bass.
The Vocoder's 16 basic programmes can amongst other characteristics be distinguished by their filter-
type, the filter frequency and the decay-time for each of the 11 Vocoder-Bandwidth possibilities, or
'Bands'. By the way QUASIMIDI will offer further Vocoder programmes in future.
After selecting a basic program we now feed different sounds into the Vocoder. You will soon be con-
vinced that the SIRIUS Vocoder is much more than just a voice mutator.
