013: Talking Modulator
This effect adds an unusual character, like a human voice, to the
input signal. Modulating the tone via dynamic modulation, you
can create an interesting effect that sounds as if the guitar or syn-
thesizer is talking.

c: Voice Top, d: Voice Center, e: Voice Bottom
These parameters assign vowels to the top, center, and bottom
position of the controller.
E.g.: When "Voice Top"=A, "Voice Center"=I, and "Voice Bot-
tom"=U:
If Sweep Mode is set to LFO, the sound will change cyclically from
"a" to "i," "u," "i," then "a."

h: Formant Shift
This parameter adjusts the frequency level to which the effect is
applied. If you wish to apply the effect to a higher-range sound,
set this parameter to a higher value; to apply the effect to a
lower-range sound, set this to a lower value.
h: Resonance
☞
This parameter sets the intensity of resonance for the voice pat-
tern. A larger value will add more character to the sound.
