OPERATION
DarkStar Vocoda
USING THE VOCODA WITH NON-MIDI INSTRUMENTS
TROUBLESHOOTING
You can use the VOCODA filters for processing non-MIDI instruments such as guitars, electric bass etc. The facility
for setting the trigger mode to [AUDIO] lets you route such a signal through the filter whilst applying real-time
modulation to the sound. These effects can transform a guitar/bass sound.
Follow these instructions to setup VOCODA in this way:
1. Connect your guitar/bass signal to the [EXTERNAL] input 1 (and 2 if stereo required). Post (after) effects units or
send/return patch from amplifier will work best.
2. Select [FILTER] type in the first [VOCODER] menu
3. Select [AUDIO] trigger mode in the first [PORTA/TRIGGER] menu
4. Select [VOCODER] menus 5 and 6 and adjust the modulation depth / source (try ENV2 source with
approxi5 modulation depth as a start). Experiment with these settings.
5. Select [ENVELOPE] 2 (indicator in [ENVELOPES] button = ON) and set the controls roughly as follows:
This will apply a sharp ’wow’ effect each time a note or chord is struck. Try adjusting the envelope controls to
change the shape of the sound.
6. Adjust the [VOCODER CONTROL] joystick to change the basic filter frequency. The position of the joystick has a
direct relation to the mod depth i.e. whether it is positive or negative. With positive mod applied, use the joystick
towards the upper left-hand side position. With negative mod applied, use the joystick towards the upper right-hand
side position.
