Editing vocoder program
Here’s the procedure for editing a program when in the Vocoder mode.
For details on parameters that are the same as the synth pro- gram, please refer to the explanation for synth programs. Here we will explain the parameters that can be set only for a vocoder program.
1. Adjust the mic input audio
b | a |
a. Cut the noise when there is no input
1Rotate the [ 
] knob.
The LCD screen will show Page 06B: AUDIO IN 2 “Threshold.”
Rotating the knob toward the right will make it more likely that the audio will be cut.
Adjust this so that noise is not obtrusive when you are not speaking into the mic.
06B AUDIO IN 2
Threshold: 069
2Press the SELECT [5] key.
The LCD screen will show Page 06A: AUDIO IN 2 “Gate Sense.”
Adjust this so that the vocoder sound that is output is not interrupted unnaturally. Use the [+/YES]
06A AUDIO IN 2
Gate Sense: 100
2. Set the filter

a. Adjust the sensitivity of the ENVELOPE FOLLOWER for the modulator
●Rotate the [ 
] knob.
The LCD screen will show Page 08F: FILTER “E.F.Sense.” Rotating the knob toward the right (increas- ing the value) will smooth the attack of the vocoder out- put, and lengthen the release.
08F FILTER
E.F.Sense: 050
b. Shift the cutoff frequency of the carrier filters
●Press the [ 
] key.
When you press the key, the formant shift amount will change, and the LED for the selected shift amount will light.
By shifting the filters, you can dramatically change the character of the vocoder output.
c. Adjust the cutoff frequency of the carrier filters
●Rotate the FILTER [ 
] knob.
The LCD screen will show Page 08B: FILTER “Cutoff.”
08A FILTER
Cutoff: +00
Use the [ 
] knob to adjust the filter shift amount in a range of ±2 steps.
By using this in conjunction with the [ 
] key, the cutoff frequency can be shifted in a range of ±4 steps.
b. Adjust the consonants of the vocoder sound
●Rotate the [ 
] knob.
The LCD screen will show Page 06C: AUDIO IN 2 “HPF Level.”
Rotating the knob toward the right (increasing the value) will emphasize the consonants of the input sound.
06C AUDIO IN 2
HPF Level: 100
d. Adjust the output level of the carrier filters
1Press the 
[ 
] key to make the
LED light.
