3. OVERVIEW

Vocoder V's design generally follows a vocoder's workflow. Typically, you'll choose a signal
source with the Voice or Sample Player to modulate the sound of a Synthesizer (such
as giving the synthesizer vocal qualities that sound like it's talking), and then manipulate
the vocoder controls to further refine the sound. In traditional vocoders, the Voice section
is called the modulator, and the Synthesizer is called the carrier. Vocoder V's sections
correspond to this workflow, with separate sections for the Voice/Sample Player section, the
Vocoder section itself, and the carrier Synthesizer.
A separate flyout to the right offers system and MIDI settings, as well as tutorials.
The toolbar at the top of the interface provides (from left to right) a menu for file
management, setup, and help, as accessed by clicking on the three lines at the upper left.
The middle section accesses the Library and preset Browser. Additional buttons to the right
choose between the Voice or Sample Player input; the Advanced button shows or hides the
Advanced panel, and the Gear icon opens the flyout.

3.1. The Advanced Panel

Although it's easy to use Vocoder V by just calling up presets, there are many ways to
customize its operation to create your own signature sound. The Advanced Panel has three
sections: Voice, Modulations, and Effects. Voice has two sub-sections.
