KingKORG NEO Parameter Guide
v04~08: Voc .Modultr (Vocoder Modulator)
On this page you can adjust settings for the modulator, which applies its
character to the carrier audio.
As the modulator, you can input either the signal from the mic (Input) or timbre
B.
AudioSrc (Audio Source) . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .[Input, TimbreB]
This selects the audio source that will be sent to the modulator.
Input:
The audio source of AUDIO IN will be sent to the modulator.
TimbreB:
The output of timbre B will be input as the modulator.
Gate Sens (Gate Sensitivity) . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .[000...127]
This specifies the speed at which the gate will function according to the
"Threshold" setting.
Lower values for this setting will make the gate close more quickly, causing the
vocoder sound to decay more quickly. Higher values for this setting will make the
gate close more gradually, causing the vocoder sound to have a longer decay.
If the Threshold value is high, this effect will apply more readily. If the Threshold value is
TIP:
"000", there will be no effect.
Threshold . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .[000...127]
This sets the level at which the input source will be cut. By setting this to an
appropriate level, you can cut the noise that might be present during times
where there is no input.
TIP:
Increasing the value will make the input source more likely to be cut.
With excessively high settings, it's more likely that the audio input signal itself will be cut,
making it difficult for you to apply the vocoder effect as intended.
HPF Level . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .[000...127]
This adjusts the output level from the HPF (High Pass Filter) that extracts the
high-frequency components from the modulator input source; these high-
frequency components are then mixed into the output of the vocoder. Increase
this value if you want to emphasize the consonants of the vocal input source.
HPF Gate . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . [Disable, Enable]
The KingKORG NEO's vocoder can extract the high-frequency portion from
the audio source being input to the modulator, and then mix this into the output
of the vocoder. You can specify whether this high-frequency portion will be
mixed in only while the internal sound generator (Timbre A) is producing
sound, or at all times.
Disable:
The high-frequency portion will be mixed whenever the audio source is
being input to the modulator.
Enable:
The high-frequency portion of the audio source will be mixed only when
the internal sound generator (Timbre A) is producing sound.
v09~14: Voc .Filter (Vocoder Filter)
Here you can adjust the settings for the carrier's sixteen band-pass filters and
modulator's envelope filter. You'll be using these parameters frequently, since
they play an important role in determining the character of the vocoder.
Formant Shift . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . [–2...+2]
This shifts the cutoff frequencies of each of the carrier's band pass filters. This
will significantly change the character of the vocoder output.
Offset (Fc Offset) . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .[–63...+63]
This continuously shifts the cutoff frequency of each band-pass filter (Syn-
thesis filter) of the carrier.
"Formant Shift" and "OFFSET"
When Formant Shift="+0", Offset="+00", the response of the carrier filters will
match the cutoff frequency of the modulator filters.
The filter response is shifted upward or downward in two discrete steps by the
"Formant Shift". This can be adjusted upward or downward two additional
steps by using "Offset," giving you a total of four steps of adjustment upward or
downward.

Resonance (Vocoder Resonance) . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .[000...127]
This specifies the amount of resonance for each of the carrier's sixteen
band-pass filters (the synthesis filter).
Higher settings will boost the sound in the region of the cutoff frequency.
ModSrc (Fc Modulation Source) . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .[EG1...MIDI3]
Selects the modulation source that will be applied to the carrier band-pass filter
"Offset".
TIP:
The sources you can select are the same as the modulation sources for a virtual patch
(→
p.12). However, EG1–3, LFO1–2, Velocity, and KeyTrack will be the sources for
timbre A.
ModInt (Fc Modulation Intensity) . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .[–63...+63]
This specifies the depth of the modulation that is applied to the carrier
band-pass filter (Synthesis filter) "Offset".
E .F .Sens (Envelope Follower Sensitivity) . . . . . . . . . . . . .[000...126, Hold]
This specifies the sensitivity of the modulator's Envelope Followers. Lower
settings of this value will allow the attacks of the input signal to be detected
more rapidly.
If you set this to "Hold", the character of the signal that is being input at that
moment will be held (Formant Freeze). Subsequently, the sound will retain that
character regardless of whether there is any input.
If you set this to "Hold" when there is no input signal present, there will
be no output even if an audio signal is subsequently input.
TIP:
If you write the program with this value set to "Hold", the program will memorize the
response of the signal that was being held.
v15~18: Voc .Amp (Vocoder Amp)
Here are the parameters for modulation and vocoder output.
Direct Level . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .[000...127]
This sets the volume level at which the modulatior input source will be output
directly (unaffected).
Wet Level (Vocoder Wet Level) . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .[000...127]
This specifies the output level of the vocoder sound.

This parameter adjusts the pan of all of the vocoder's bands. Higher settings
will broaden the panning of the vocoder sound.
Vocoder Lvl (Vocoder Level) . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .[000...127]
This parameter specifies the overall volume for the mixed sounds of the source
signal (Direct Level), the signal that has passed through the HPF (HPF Level),
and the vocoder sound (Wet Level).
