Effects and Plug-Ins : VoiCode

active a second control panel appears on the right. This enables two sets of settings/presets to be compared and a
slider allows for fading between the two.
Top Row
On the left, the first button activates/de-activates and lights yellow when the plug-in is active. The second button
toggles bypass and lights red when the plug-in is bypassed. On the right, the Green R and Red W buttons control
the local dynamic automation mode. Green lit = Read, Red lit = Write, Green and Red lit = auto-write and both off
= automation off. The global automation mode takes precedence. The
Option button gives access to Info... about
VoiCode. The other options are standard VST entries and irrelevant in the case of VoiCode.

Input Selection
This VST plug-in can use 2 inputs and obviously has 2 outputs. The plug-in is however intended to process a mono
input. The drop-down list offers the options of using:
Channel 1
Channel 2
Sum Channels 1 & 2
Sum Channels 1 & 2 (-3dB)
(Classic derivation for M of a Sum and Difference (M&S) recording)
Display Setup
VoiCode has the option of an Oscilloscope display, a Correlation (phase) meter and Show Panel B. (Double con-
trol panels.)
Oscilloscope When ticked the Oscilloscope display is active, superimposed on the polar coordi-
nate display.
Correlation When ticked the vertical Correlation meter is shown to the left of the polar coordi-
nate display.
Show Panel B When ticked all the controls in the A Control panel on left of the window are dupli-
cated on the right of the window in the
B Control panel and an A - B slider control
appears below
Display setup.
A B Slider Show Panel B enables two different sets of parameters to be set up and viewed
simultaneously. The slider is used to fade between parameter sets. Two sets of
parameters can be compared and, if desired, blended in any proportion. I.e. with
the slider hard left only the left-hand
A panel parameters are used. Similarly, with
the slider hard right only the parameters in the right-hand
B panel are used. At any
setting in between a proportion of left
A and right B panel parameters is blended.
Note: If Show panel B is deselected when the slider is anywhere other than fully at A then the
slider is returned to the A side.
Correlation Meter The vertical bar is a Correlation (phase) meter looking at the VoiCode stereo out-
put. When the ‘needle’ is at the top of the scale (
+1) the left and right outputs are
100% correlated, i.e. double mono. At the other end of the scale (
-1) the left and
right outputs are decorrelated I.e. substantially out of phase. This is highly undesir-
able.
Polar Coordinate Display/Oscilloscope
The graphic shows a representation of the Mic directivity chosen and the Left
apex
, Incidence and Right apex angle settings. When Oscilloscope is active a
goniometer is superimposed on the graphic.
