5.MIXER — VOCODER

This sets the output level of the carrier. The level you specify here will be the input level to the band-pass filter (Synthesis Filter) of the carrier.

Using an external input as the carrier of the vocoder

Here's how to use a signal input from the AUDIO IN 2 LINE jack as the vocoder carrier (the signal that is modulated).

1As described in the connections for "1. Playing a vocoder program" and "Processing an external input signal" (➝ p.10, 21), connect the included mic to the AUDIO IN 1 CONDENSER jack, and connect the output jack of your external device to the AUDIO IN 2 LINE jack. Use the VOLUME 1 and VOLUME 2 knobs to adjust the levels so that the audio signals are output to AUDIO IN 1 and 2.

2When you raise the MIXER "INST LEVEL" (knob 2) value, the input signal from AUDIO IN 2 will be input to the band pass filter (synthesis filter) of the carrier.

3When you raise the MIXER "OSC 1 LEVEL" (knob 1) and play the keyboard, the OSC 1 waveform will be input to the band pass filter of the carrier.

4If you set the AUDIO IN 1 "HPF GATE" (knob 4) to Disable (), the high-frequency portion of the input signal from the AUDIO IN 1 jack will always be output.
