021: 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.
CONTROL
Sweep Mode [Dmod, LFO]
Switches between modulation source control and LFO
control.
Source [Off…Tempo]
Selects the modulation source that controls the voice pattern.
Manual Voice Control [Bottom, 1…49, Center,
51…99, Top]
Voice pattern control.
TALKING MODULATOR
The Voi c e Top, Center, and Bottom parameters assign
vowels to the top, center, and bottom positions of the Dmod
controller or LFO.
For instance, when Voic e Top is set to A, Voice Center is set
to I, and Voice Bottom is set to U:
If Sweep Mode is set to Dmod and JS+Y is selected as the
modulation Source, moving the joystick upwards 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.”
Voice Top [A, I, U, E, O]
Selects a vowel sound at the maximum modulation value.
Voice Center [A, I, U, E, O]
Selects a vowel sound at the center modulation value.
Voice Bottom [A, I, U, E, O]
Selects a vowel sound at the minimum modulation value.
Formant Shift [+/–100]
Sets the frequency to which the effect is applied.
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.
Resonance [0…100]
Sets the Level of resonance of the voice pattern. This
parameter sets the intensity of resonance for the voice
pattern. A larger value will add more character to the sound.
LFO
Frequency [Hz] [0.02…20.00]
This sets the LFO speed, in Hz. It applies only when
MIDI/Tempo Sync, below, is Off.
Source [Off…Tempo]
This selects a modulation source for the Frequency.
Amount [–20.00…+20.00]
This sets the Frequency modulation amount, in Hz.
MIDI/Tempo Sync [Check-box]
BPM [MIDI, 40.00…300.00]
Base Note [ … ]
Times [x1…x32]
When MIDI/Tempo Sync is on, the LFO speed is set by
BPM, Base Note, and Times, instead of Frequency. For
more information, see “MIDI/Tempo Sync” on page 779.
Type [Individual, Common1, Common2]
This controls whether the effect uses its individual LFO, or
one of the Common FX LFOs. For more information, see
“LFO Type” on page 779.
Common LFO Phase Offset [degrees] [+/–180]
When Type is set to Common FX LFO 1 or 2, this lets you
offset the phase from the master LFO.
OUTPUT
This is the standard effects output section, with modulatable
control over wet/dry balance. For more information, see
“OUTPUT” on page 762.
