  • Page 2 Introduction With the Vocodizer, Noah offers an extremely flexible vocoder. From its freely configurable and assignable filters, to individual level and pan controls for each synthesis filter output, the vocoder part of the Vocodizer gives you not only what you would expect in a classic vocoder–it extends the concept significantly.
  • Page 3 Presets The Vocodizer stores different parameter Settings not stored in presets include: all groups in separate preset lists. This lets Voiced/Unvoiced Detection, Analysis/ you manage, for example, the synthesizer Synthesis Input gains, Input Insert presets completely independent of the Effects, Solo, Voiced Source, and Master vocoder presets.
  • Page 4 How does a Vocoder actually work? A typical vocoder contains two filter dynamic level progression of the signals Often the synthesized results produced banks: an analysis bank and a synthesis filtered by the synthesis section match by a traditional vocoder do not contain bank.

Use these meters to monitor the input To be able to produce very narrow levels of the source and synthesis signals, filter settings while retaining and the level of the output.

You can the filters in the analysis and synthesis circuit to be unvoiced.
  • Page 10 FilterMix Here you can adjust the cutoff or center frequencies of each filter individually. To adjust a filter’s frequency, click on its frequency value and enter the new value with your keyboard. The new value applies to each respective analysis and synthesis filter.
  • Page 11 The Matrix With the Vocodizer’s Matrix you can route the control signals of the Envelope Follower to any arbitrary synthesis filter. You can also route the control signal of a particular analysis filter to multiple synthesis filters. The Matrix lets you accomplish a variety of effects, from "sim- ple"...
