139: Early Reflections

This early reflection effect has more precise early reflections

with twice the maximum length of a normal-size effect (See

“Early Reflections” on page153.). You can create a very smooth

and dense sound.

Vocod er

The Vocoder can only be assigned to the FX B - Master 2 proces-

sor (usually, the modulating effect for the keyboard tracks).

When this effect is selected, the microphone input no longer

goes to the Voice Processor, but is routed to this FX processor.

140: Vocoder

This effect applies the timbral character of a different signal (the

modulator) to the input signal (the carrier).

A common use of this effect is to produ ce the sound of various

instruments by inputting a voice to the Modulator via a micro-

phone. A special effect is also achieved by using rhythm or effect

sounds. Strings or distortion guitar sounds with a lot of harmon-

ics are suitable as Carrier signals.
