017: 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 synthesizer is talking.

These parameters assign vowels to the top, center, and

E.g.: When "Voice Top"=A, "Voice Center"=I, and "Voice
Bottom"=U:
If Sweep Mode is set to D‐mod is selected as the modulation
source, moving your finger from the right to left of will
change the sound from "a" to "i," then "u."
If Sweep Mode is set to LFO, the sound will change
cyclically from "a" to "i," "u," "i," then "a."

f: 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.
f: Resonance
This parameter sets the intensity of resonance for the voice
pattern. A larger value will add more character to the sound.

018: Stereo Decimator

p.261
p.261
This effect creates a rough sound like a cheap sampler by
lowering the sampling frequency and data bit length. You

can also simulate noise unique to a sampler (aliasing).
