Vocodizer Manual
The Vocodizer is more like an instrument than an effect because it can create
independent melodies, rhythms and sounds patterns. If you are looking for some
inspiring, unique way of transforming your sounds, you should try it out!
The Sound parameter adjusts the spectral-dynamic reaction to the incoming signal.
Different algorithmic variables are controlled by this parameter, which results in many
different sounds. The sonic result also depends heavily on the selected mode here.
Here you have a selection of the classic waveforms — Saw/Square/Sine/Tri — along
with other variations.
The Note parameter defines the pitch of the final sound. It encompasses 1 or 2
octaves, depending on the mode. There are 4 modes. They define the starting pitch
(C1 for low and C2 for high) and the range (1 or 2 octaves).
The Spread parameter defines how many notes (1-10) are involved when creating a
chord or arpeggiator pattern. In the mode menu you determine the chord harmonies
and the arpeggiator movement. Along with classic major and minor chords, there are
also unusual settings like "Whole", which are more related to the arpeggiator
behaviour than for chords.
The arp parameter determines the speed of the arpeggiator pattern. When turned to
0, the arp will be off and a given chord will be played without any apreggiating
movement. Remember that the Spread parameter will define the number of different
notes played here.
There are a number of different arpeggiator algorithms available. First you have up,
down, and ping-pong. There is also a duo phonic version of these: two notes will be
played simultaneously. The next algorithms are the same the previous ones, but also
in "Trig" mode. In this mode you don't control the speed any more — in fact, the
