Using the vocoder and auto-pitch
The vocoder adds eects to a human voice. If you run your voice 
through the vocoder, you can give it an uninected, robotic tone. 
Control the pitch by playing the keyboard.
The auto-pitch tone reduces wavering in pitch to generate a pitch-
corrected sound. This adjusts the pitch variations in steps, producing 
an articial eect.
The vocoder and auto-pitch settings are saved to the [VOCODER] 
button.
