After initializing to “F.FLT: ROBOT” or
“F.FLT: HUSKYROBOT”
Connect a mic (sold separately) to the MIC jack, and use
[VOCAL/UPPER] to adjust the input volume.
Simply input some sound from the mic, and a formant filter
effect will be produced using the robot oscillator (p.113).
If you input sound from the mic while you play your MIDI
keyboard, a formant filter effect will be produced using a
mixture of the Upper patch or Lower patch with the robot
oscillator, according to the KEY MODE and PANEL
SELECT settings.
After initializing to “F.BANK: STANDARD”
or “F.BANK: RADIO”
You can use the filter bank to adjust the Upper patch or
Lower patch according to the KEY MODE and PANEL
SELECT settings.
Since the Voice Modulator Panel (p.111) will be selected,
you will be able to adjust the volumes of the twelve filters
immediately.
After initializing to “VOCAL MORPH CTRL”
If Control Assign (p.84) or Morph Bend Assign (p.85) are
not set, you must set them. Then connect a mic (sold sepa-
rately) to the MIC jack, and use [VOCAL/UPPER] to adjust
the input volume.
If you input sound from the mic while you play your MIDI
keyboard, the specified parameters or pitch will change.
When the KEY MODE is SINGLE or SPLIT, the patch of the
part selected by PANEL SELECT will be controlled.
When the KEY MODE is DUAL, the patch of both Upper
and Lower parts will be controlled, regardless of the
PANEL SELECT setting.
The ease of control will depend on the type of vowel. The
“a” sound is easiest to control. Also, the parameter will
change more greatly as the volume is increased.
* If you use Vocal Morph Control at the same time as
Velocity (p.81) or Motion Control (p.98), parameters
which overlap will have their values added, and will
change accordingly.
* Control Assign (p.84) also uses MIDI messages to con-
trol parameters. This means that if Control Assign is
used simultaneously with Vocal Morph Control, the
last-received control message will determine the para-
meter value.
How Vocal Morph Control works
Of the sound which is input to the Vocal Input of Voice
Modulator, the signal level in the 1.2 kHz frequency region
is detected, and this result is used for control. Since the “a”
sound is strong in the 1.2 kHz frequency region, control is
easiest for the “a” sound. Only small changes can be pro-
duced with vowels other than “a.”
This means that by inputting sounds such as “a-u-a-u” or
“a-i-a-i” you can alternately produce large change and small
change.
* For actual examples of using external input with the for-
mant filter / filter bank etc., refer to “Various Ways to
Use Voice Modulator” (p.146).
Types of
Voice Modulator Initialize
Nine types of Voice Modulator Initialize are provided.
F.FLT: VINTAGE: This is a formant filter which uses the
SOLID algorithm. It produces a tight and strong sound.
F.FLT: SILKY: This is a formant filter which uses the
SMOOTH algorithm. It produces a smooth and delicate
sound.
F.FLT: HUSKYVOICE: This is a formant filter which uses
the SOLID algorithm. Noise (p.113) is mixed in.
F.FLT: BREAKBEATS: This is a formant filter which uses
the WIDE algorithm. It is ideal for use when a sound other
than voice (such as break beats) is being input to the Vocal
Input.
F.FLT: ROBOT: This is a formant filter which uses the
robot oscillator (p.113). A formant filter can be obtained
even when no instrumental sound is input to the Inst Input.
F.FLT: HUSKYROBOT: This is a formant filter which uses
the robot oscillator (p.113). It produces a husky robot voice.
A formant filter can be obtained even when no instrumental
sound is input to the Inst Input.
F.BANK: STANDARD: This is the standard filter bank.
F.BANK: RADIO: This is a filter bank which produces an
effect similar to an AM radio.
VOCAL MORPH CTRL: This produces settings that allow
you to use the Vocal Morph Control function.
