About the VC-2

Internal Structure

The VC-2 consists of a carrier section, a modulator section, a vocoder section, and an effects section.

•The carrier section generates the signal (timbre and pitch) that is the basis of the sound.

•The modulator section uses a mic input or wave to generate a signal from which the formant data (vocal character) is extracted.

•The vocoder section extracts the formant data (vocal character) from the signal generated by the modulator, and applies the formants to the signal that is generated by the carrier.

•The effects section provides multi-effects, chorus, and reverb.
