Enabling Vocoder Mode
1. Load the Þle VOCODER.K26 into any bank. ItÕs on the disk called K2600 Farm & Extras.
2. Go to Master mode.
3. Press the MAST2 soft button.
4. Set the value of the Vocoder parameter to On.
5. Exit from Master mode (press any of the other Mode buttons).
Note that enabling the vocoder activates special software, which replaces the software used for
the SHAPE2 and AMP MOD OSC functions in the F3 block of an algorithm. Therefore any
programs that use SHAPE2 and AMP MOD OSC in the F3 block will sound different while the
vocoder is active. Turning the Vocoder parameter Off will restore those DSP functions and
disable vocoding.
Using the Vocoder
Go to Setup Mode and select one of the setups in the memory bank where you just loaded the
vocoder Þle. If you are using an external sound source for your slave, choose the setup Vocoder-
ExtSlave. If you are using the K2600 as the input source for the slave, then you can choose either
Vocoder-22 Band or Vocoder-20 Band. The 22-band vocoder will allow you to play up to 4
voices of polyphony on the slave program; the 20-band vocoder will allow you to play up to 8
voices of polyphony on the slave program.
Play a note or chord on your keyboard and speak into the microphone. You should be able to
hear what you are speaking, but the sound will be a string sound (assuming you are using the
K2600 as the slave source), pitched to the note or chord you are playing.
If you have a keyboard model, try moving Sliders A, B, and C, and listen for changes in the
sound. If you have a rack-mount model, you can send MIDI Controller numbers 6, 12, & 13 from
your controller. Since the setups contain entry values for these sliders, you may have to move
the slider across its full range before it begins to take effect.
Effects Issues and Output Issues
The studio assigned to the vocoder setups is conÞgured in the following manner: If you are
using the K2600 for the slave signal, the slave program (in zone 3) has its output assigned to
KDFX-B, which is being routed to the FXBus2, with no effect. On the OUTPUT page in the Setup
Editor, Output B is set to FXBus2, thereby sending the signal from the slave program to the B
outputs and from B Right into the right side of the sample input.
The slave program has its output panned hard right within the program, so if you decide to try
using a different slave program, you will probably want to edit the program itself to pan its
output hard right, so you get 100% of the signal. You don't need to worry about setting the
