Editing The Sound; How A Program Is Organized - Korg King Owner's Manual

Playing vocoder sounds
The vocoder is a function that lets you vocalize into a mic while
holding down notes on the keyboard to create the impression that
the synthesizer is talking. As an alternative to inputting a human
voice, you can create many interesting effects by inputting rhythm
sounds or various waveforms.
Connecting a mic and playing the vocoder
1.
Turn the front panel MIC LEVEL knob all the way toward the
left. Connect the mic to the rear panel mic jack.
2.
Press the PROGRAM (GLOBAL) button to make it light.
3.
Press the category/favorites SE/VOC button to make it light
up, and then turn the value dial to select a program (sound) for
which the VOCODER button is lit up.

How a program is organized

Before you start editing, you'll need to understand the basics of how
the sounds are created. Once you understand how the KingKORG's
sounds are structured, you'll be able to freely create the sounds you
want.

TIP: Adjust the level so that the MIC LEVEL PEAK LED does
not light up.
5.
While vocalizing into the mic, play the keyboard.
Try vocalizing different words and holding down different notes
on the keyboard, and notice the effect that this has on the
vocoder sound.
