Playing a vocoder program
Avocodermodiesthesignalfromanoscillatoror
other source (the “carrier”) by applying the spectral
characteristics of an external input source such as a
human voice (the “modulator”).
The most common way to use a vocoder is to produce a
“talkinginstrument”eectbytakingtheinputsignalof
your voice from the mic while you hold down a chord on
the keyboard. However you can also obtain interesting
results by using audio input sources other than a human
voice, such as rhythm sounds or anything else you like.
Here’s how to connect a mic and try out the vocoder.

besentfromtheOutputjackwithoutmodication
(Audio In Thru).
TheSHIFTbuonwilllightupifasignalisbeing
input to the INPUT jack. It will light up in red if an
input overload occurs.
3. Vocalize into the mic. If the SHIFT button is lit up in
red, set the Input select switch to MIC1.
4. To return to the normal state, hold down the SHIFT
button and press the SHORT RIBBON button once
again.

Tip: Some vocoder programs will produce sound when
you simply play the keyboard; there’s no need to vocalize
into the mic.
Modifying the sound
To make your performance more expressive, you can
modify the sounds of the RK-100S 2 by using the short
ribbon controller, the long ribbon controller, and also by
how you play the keyboard.
