Creating/Editing Patches (Patch mode)

Vocoder Screen

You can go to the top screen by touching <Vocoder> in the lower part of the screen.

Patches whose patch algorithm is Poly PShift do not have this screen.

VOCODER

Parameter	Value	Explanation
Level	0–127	Adjusts the output level of the vocoder.
Atk	0–100	Adjusts the attack time of the vocoder.
		* This parameter is not available if the patch
		algorithm is Vocoder~ or Processor
		Type 2.
Rel	0–100	Specifies the time from when the vocoder
		begins to operate until the volume reaches
		0.
		* This parameter is not available if the patch
		algorithm is Vocoder~ or Processor
		Type 2.
LevelMod-	-63–	Adjust the output level of the vocoder us-
Depth	+63	ing the controller assigned by Controller
		(p. 31).

NATURAL VOICE

Parameter	Value	Explanation
Level	0–127	Specifies the output level of the natural
		voice (your unprocessed voice, or the orig-
		inal sound of the wave for Keyboard~
		patch algorithms).
RevSend	0–127	Adjusts the reverb send level.
LevelMod-	-63–	Adjust the output level of the natural
Depth	+63	voice using the controller assigned by
		Controller (p. 31).

UNVOICE

*This parameter is not available if the patch algorithm is

Vocoder~ or Processor Type 2.

Parameter	Value	Explanation
Level	0–127	Specifies the amount of the detected un-
		voiced consonants that will be mixed into
		the output of the vocoder.
Detect	1–50	Adjusts the sensitivity at which unvoiced
		consonants are detected.

Formant

*This parameter is not available if the patch algorithm is

Vocoder~ or Processor Type 2.

Parameter	Value	Explanation
Type	00: FLAT–	Selects the type of formant.
	15: STFEM2

TONE

*This parameter is not available if the patch algorithm is

Vocoder~ or Processor Type 2.

Parameter	Value	Explanation
Tone	0–127	Adjusts the brightness of the sound.

Hold Dump

Parameter	Value	Explanation
Time	0–127	Specifies the time from when the hold
		pedal is pressed to fix the tonal character
		from INPUT until that sound disappears.

AutoNoteSw

*This parameter is not available if the patch algorithm is

Keyboard~ or Processor~.

If this is on, the pitch from the mic input will be detected, allowing you to play the VC-2 without having to play the keyboard (i.e., without inputting note data).

Poly Pitch Shifter Screen

In the case of a patch whose patch algorithm is Poly PShift, you can access the Wave screen by touching <Poly Pitch Shifter> in the lower part of the screen.

OSC

OSC 1/OSC 2

Parameter	Value	Explanation
Formant	00: FLAT–	Selects the style of vocal character
Style	10: IMPROV	(formant).
Formant	-63– +63	Adjusts the width of formant
		change.
Level	0–127	Adjusts the output volume.
Pan	L64–0–63R	Specifies the pan of the patch. “L64”
		is far left, “0” is center, and “63R” is
		far right.
