Using the Metavox

Description of Controls

The up/down rocker switch beside the Synthesis Input label on

the left side of the unit selects the synthesis input, i.e., the

internally-generated or external sound that will be vocoded and

sent to the OUTPUTS. The LEDs next to the switch light up to

indicate the current synthesis input. There are five choices

available:

Saw

A standard sawtooth wave is one of the most popular synthesizer

waves, with plenty of overtones and a characteristically "buzzy"

sound.

Rectified Saw

This is a sawtooth wave, with a little of the "edge" taken off. It's

also an octave lower than the SAW wave at a given PHREEQ

setting.

Square

This mode uses an internal square wave for the synthesis input.

Square waves are another popular synth waveform, because they

have a more rounded low end with more fundamental.
