Parameters
INSEL - Selects the input to use for the synthesis (carrier) channel. This is the input to use for your
guitar or other instrument. The other input is then the analysis channel and is typically used for vocal
input.
BANDS - Selects the number of bands to use in the analysis and synthesis filter banks.
FMIN - Sets the frequency of the lowest filter band.
FMAX - Sets the frequency of the highest filter band.
RES - Sets the Q, or bandwidth of the filters. Higher values yield narrower filters.
SHIFT - Shifts the frequency of the synthesis bands relative to the analysis bands. This allows you
to change the character of the vocoding and produce “anonymous mob informant” or “chipmunk”
effects.
HPMIX - Sets the amount of highpass filtered signal to mix in with the synthesis output. This can
be used to increase the intelligibility of the vocoding.
ATT - Sets attack filter time for the envelope followers.
REL - Sets release filter time for the envelope followers.
FREEZE - Turning this to
ON
, freezes the output of the envelope followers. This can be used to
hold the vocal formant.
MLVL - Sets the master level for all the synthesis filter outputs.
MPAN - Sets master panning for all the synthesis filter outputs.
Individual control of the filter output levels and panning is provided on dedicated menu pages. You
can use these controls to fine tune the filter bank response and control the panning of the filter
outputs.
