VOCODER SPECTRAL BALANCE
(Knob: FILTER SUSTAIN TIME, Default: 64 (middle)) Spectral balance between the higher and lower
frequencies of the vocoder signal. This parameter works similar to a simple equalizer, which is e.g.
capable to increase the quality of speech. The Spectral Balance highly influences the overall char-
acter of the vocoder.
Several vocoder related parameters can be modulated by LFO-1 and LFO-2
Parameter
LFO 1 RESO 1+2
LFO 2 FILT 1
LFO 2 FILT 2

Notes About The Vocoder

The vocoder can also be controlled by any part of the multimode. If more than one part of the multi-
mode contains an activated vocoder, only the vocoder of the part with the lowest part number is
active.
The vocoder takes a lot of computing power. This reduces the maximum number of voices depend-
ent on the number of vocoder bands used. A vocoder with 32 bands takes approximately 4 voices
away, although the vocoder only starts to reduce the number of voices when there is an audio signal
at the vocoder input. 10 seconds after the signal is diminished, the VIRUS "frees" the voices again
to get back the maximum polyphony.
As mentioned before, the whole filter section is exchanged to the vocoder, parameters, parameters
like saturation or the filter routing are not available anymore.
If you would like to use the vocoder as an external effect device, choose one external input in the
VOCODER MODE parameter page (modulator signal) and the carrier signal by the INPUT SELECT
page.
