The Parameters Of The Vocoder

The Vocoder related parameters are located in the EFFECT Menu
VOCODER MODE
here you can enable the vocoder and choose the signal source for the carrier bank at the same
time:
Mode Description
OSC
This mode uses the whole oscillator section of the Virus, including the
noise generator as the carrier signal. The oscillators can be played poly-
phonic which enables the amplifier envelope to work as usual. The differ-
ence is in the filter section. The oscillator signal does not pass the filter
section, as this section is being used to control the vocoder. It is possible
to feed the vocoder with a single sound which uses the whole filter section.
Just use the aux-sends in the multimode to feed the vocoder's input with a
single sound created within another multipart. Use this certain auxiliary
send signal as the carrier signal within the vocoder.
OSC-HOLD
This setting is identical to "OSC" although the hold-mode (which also is
available at COMMON/KeyMode) is activated.
NOISE
White noise is used as the carrier. The oscillator section is disabled.
IN
(L / In L+R / In R / Aux L ...) The analog inputs or the aux-sends are the car-
rier signal. If a stereo source, like L+R, is chosen, the left and right signal is
mixed to create a mono signal.
OSC VOL
(Default: 0 (middle)) OSC VOL adjusts the output level of the vocoder. This is independent of the sig-
nal source (which can be assigned using the vocoder mode parameter)
INPUT SELECT
(in the Edit menu) While INPUT Select regularly assigns the input source for INPUT Mode, the mod-
ulator bank input is assigned here, when the vocoder is activated. Again, stereo sources like L+R
are mixed to a monophonic signal.
