How can I set Effects and Pan?
As the icing on the cake you can refine your Vocoder-sound with the Sirius-Effects. Mix in rhythmic
delays to a speaking Groove in real-time or let your robot hold great speeches in a tiny bathroom.
The procedure you already know from the description of the MIXER-panel. Above the FX1/FX2-keys
of the Mixer you can select between two effects units of the Sirius. When the key is permanently lit
you have selected FX1. When the key is blinking, FX2 is active. Now the dial of the Vocoder allows
you to mix in the currently selected effect in real time.
The position of the Vocoder-sound in the stereo image ( ie. the pan setting) can be set as usual using
the MIXER -panel. Turn on the PANORAMA-key of the Mixer. Now you can use the Vocoder dial to
position the Vocoder-sound further to the left or right of the stereo picture.
As you already know, the Sirius allows you to automate changes of the effects mix and pan-
orama via MIDI using an external sequencer. Just turn the controls and the Sirius will output the nec-
essary midi information through the MIDI-OUT.
