if you do not want to add lower harmonics to the higher
range.
017: Talking Modulator
This effect adds an unusual character, like a human voice, to
the input signal. Modulating the tone via dynamic
modulation, you can create an interesting effect that sounds
as if the guitar or synthesizer is talking.
c: Voice Top
d: Voice Center
e: Voice Bottom
These parameters assign vowels to the top, center, and
bottom position of the controller.
E.g.: When “Voice Top”=A, “Voice Center”=I, and “Voice
Bottom”=U:
If Sweep Mode is set to D‐mod is selected as the modulation
source, moving your finger from the right to left of will
change the sound from “a” to “i,” then “u.”
If Sweep Mode is set to LFO, the sound will change
cyclically from “a” to “i,” “u,” “i,” then “a.”
f: Formant Shift
This parameter adjusts the frequency level to which the
effect is applied. If you wish to apply the effect to a higher‐
range sound, set this parameter to a higher value; to apply
the effect to a lower‐range sound, set this to a lower value.
f: Resonance
This parameter sets the intensity of resonance for the voice
pattern. A larger value will add more character to the sound.
018: Stereo Decimator
This effect creates a rough sound like a cheap sampler by
lowering the sampling frequency and data bit length. You
can also simulate noise unique to a sampler (aliasing).
