VOCODER SEQUENCES
SEQUENCE Menu
This section of the DARKSTAR VOCODA features the VOCODER sequencer. There are a total of 96 user-
recordable sequences, 4 per program in banks 1,2 and 3. Each of these sequences can produce up to eight
vocoder definitions allowing you to build-up a useful library of vocoder phrases.
The five buttons in the [VOCODER SEQUENCE] section are automatically activated when [SEQUENCE-CODER]
or [SYNTHESIZER] mode are selected - see pages 9/10 for further details. To select one of the four sequences,
simply press a button marked 1 - 4, as shown below:
This section contains the trigger (start/stop) settings for the sequences. To access the trigger settings, press the
MENU button labelled [SEQUENCE], as shown in the following example:
The indicator in the [SEQUENCE] button will light and the main display will now alternate between the first function
and its current value, as shown below:
NOTE: sequencer modes are only available in programs 1-24 (banks 1 to 3).
