Type
Determines whether or not the Vocoder is applied to the
current Voice. When set to “Thru,” the Vocoder is not
applied to the Voice.
Settings:
Thru, Vocoder
2
Vocoder Attack
Determines the attack time of the Vocoder sound. The
higher the value, the slower the attack.
Settings:
1ms – 200ms
3
Vocoder Release
Determines the release time of the Vocoder sound. The
higher the value, the slower the decay.
Settings:
10ms – 3000ms
4
Mic Gate Threshold
Determines the threshold level of the noise gate for the
microphone sound. If noise interferes with the Vocoder
effect, set this parameter to a relatively high value to
prevent noise from producing inadvertent, unexpected
sounds.
Settings:
-72dB – -30dB
5
Gate Switch
Determines whether or not the microphone sound will be
output from the HPF while you release the notes. Normally,
set this to “on.”
Settings:
off, on
off: The microphone sound always will be output. (You can always hear
the microphone sound.)
on: The microphone sound will be output only while pressing the note.
6
HPF Freq (High Pass Filter Frequency)
Determines the HPF cutoff frequency for the microphone
input sound. Setting this to a low value results in a
minimally processed input sound—in other words, close to
the original. Setting this to higher values emphasizes the
higher frequency consonant and sibilant sounds (which
make words easier to understand).
Settings:
thru, 500Hz – 16.0kHz
7
HPF Output Level
Determines the level of the microphone sound output from
the HPF (High Pass Filter).
Settings:
0 – 127
8
Formant Shift
Determines the amount (in BPF) by which the cutoff
frequency value of the BPFs (for the Inst Input) is shifted.
This parameter can be used to adjust the pitch of the
Vocoder sound.
Settings:
-2, -1, +0, +1, +2
9
Formant Offset
Adjusts the cutoff frequencies of all BPFs (for the Inst Input)
finely. This parameter can be used to adjust the pitch of the
Vocoder sound finely.
Settings:
-63 – +0 – +63
)
Mic Level
Determines the microphone sound level, which is to be
input to the Vocoder.
Settings:
0 – 127
!
Inst Input Level
Determines the level of the keyboard performance sound,
which is to be input to the Vocoder.
Settings:
0 – 127
@
Noise Input Level
Determines the noise level which is input to the Vocoder.
This can be used to emphasize sibilant and plosive
sounds, and make the speech-like characteristics more
pronounced.
Settings:
0 – 127
#
Output Level
Determines the output level of the Vocoder.
Settings:
0 – 127
$
Dry/Wet Balance
Determines the balance between the dry sound to which
the effect is not applied and the wet sound to which the
effect is applied. The higher the W setting, the deeper the
effect.
Settings:
D63>W – D=W – D<W63
%
BPF1 – 10 Gain (Band Pass Filter 1 – 10 Gain)
Determines each output gain of the BPF 1 – 10 for the Inst
Input (keyboard performance sound). The BPF1
corresponds to the lowest Formant while the BPF 10
corresponds to the highest Formant.
Settings:
-18dB – +18dB
