Voice Transformer - Roland DiscLab CDX-1 Owner's Manual

13. VOICE TRANSFORMER

This is a multi-effect designed for vocals. Special effects can also be created using the Voice Transformer.

Parameter (full name)
VT (Voice Transformer): This controls the formants, allowing a variety of voice characters to be created.
Effect On/Off (Effect On/Off)
Formant 1 (Formant 1)
Formant 2 (Formant 2)
Effect Level 1 (Effect Level 1)
Effect Level 2 (Effect Level 2)
Direct Level (Direct Level)
Formant (p. 204)
NS (Noise Suppressor): This effect reduces the noise and hum.
Effect On/Off (Effect On/Off)
Threshold (Threshold) *
Release (Release)
* High settings for the Threshold parameter may result in there being no sound when you play with your instruments volume
turned down.
Modulation effect type
The Modulation effect type can be selected from the following effects. For details on each effect, refer to "Available types of
modulation and their effect" (p. 202).
FLANGER
(Flanger)
CHORUS
(Chorus)
PHASER
(Phaser) *
P.SHIFT
(Pitch Shifter)
DOUBL'N
(Doubling)
TRM/PAN
(Tremolo/Pan)
* In case of "Phase", output will become monaural.
DLY (Delay): This creates a thicker sound by applying a delayed sound to the direct sound.

: The flanger effect gives a twisting, jet-airplane-like character to the sound.
: A sound with a subtly shifted pitch is added to the direct sound, making the final output sound thicker
and broader.
: By adding varied-phase portions, the phaser effect gives a whooshing, swirling character to the sound.
: This effect changes the pitch of the original sound (up or down) within a range of two octaves.
: An effect of multiple sounds heard together (a doubling effect) is produced.
: Tremolo is an effect that creates a cyclic change in volume.
Pan cyclically moves the stereo position between left and right (when stereo output is used).

Function
This parameter turns the voice transformer effect on/off.
Adjust the formant of the voice character 1.
Adjust the formant of the voice character 2.
Adjust the volume of the voice character 1.
Adjust the volume of the voice character 2.
Adjust the volume of the direct sound.
This parameter turns the noise suppressor effect on/off.
Adjust this parameter as appropriate for the volume of the noise. If the
noise level is high, a higher setting is appropriate. If the noise level is low,
a lower setting is appropriate. Adjust this value until the decay of the sound
is as natural as possible.
Adjusts the time from when the noise suppressor begins to function until
volume reaches "0."
This parameter turns the delay effect on/off.
This is a simple delay.
The delayed sound is panned across the left and right channels. This will
be effective when stereo output is used.
This parameter adjusts the delay time (i.e., the interval for which sound is
delayed).
This parameter adjusts the amount of feedback. Changing the amount of
feedback causes the number of time the delayed sound is repeated to
change as well.
This adjusts the volume of the delay sound.
