Vocoder parameters

ON/OFF
This switches the Vocoder function on/off.
Off: Vocoder is off. The program will not use the vocoder.
On: The vocoder is on. The program will be a vocoder program, and the vocoder
parameters will be available for editing.

CARRIER

Here you can set the input level of the audio signal being used as the carrier
TIMBRE 1 LEVEL
Specifies the output level of Timbre1 (carrier).
TIMBRE 2 LEVEL
Specifies the output level of Timbre2.

MODULATOR

Here you can adjust the settings for the modulator, which applies its character
to the carrier audio.
For the modulator, you can use an external audio source such as a microphone
or rhythm (INPUT jack) or timbre 2.
AUDIO IN SOURCE
This selects the audio source that will be sent to the modulator.
Audio Input: The audio source from INPUT jack will be sent to the modulator.
Timbre2: The output of timbre 2 will be input to the modulator.
GATE SENS
Specifies the speed at which the gate will operate according to the "GATE
THRESHLD" setting. Lower values for this setting will make the gate close more
quickly, causing the vocoder sound to decay more quickly. Higher values for this

setting will make the gate close more gradually, causing the vocoder sound to
have a longer decay.
Note: If the "GATE THRESHLD" value is high, this effect will be applied more
readily. If the threshold value is 0, there will be no effect.
GATE THRESHOLD
Sets the level where the input source will be cut. By setting this to an appropriate
level, you can cut the noise that might be present during times where there is no
input. Higher settings will make it more likely that the input source will be cut.
With excessively high settings, it's more likely that the audio input signal
itself will be cut, making it difficult for you to apply the vocoder effect as
intended.
HPF GATE
The RK-100Ss vocoder can extract the high-frequency portion from the audio
source being input to the modulator, and then mix this into the output of the
vocoder. You can specify whether this high-frequency portion will be mixed in
only while the internal sound generator (Timbre1) is producing sound, or at all
times.
Disable: The high-frequency portion will be mixed whenever the audio source
is being input to the modulator.
Enable: The high-frequency portion of the audio source will be mixed only when
the internal sound generator (Timbre1) is producing sound.
HPF LEVEL
This adjusts the output level from the HPF (High Pass Filter) that extracts the high-
frequency components from the modulator input source; these high-frequency
components are then mixed into the output of the vocoder. Increase this value if
you want to emphasize the consonants of the vocal input source.

FILTER

Here you can adjust the settings for the carrier's sixteen band-pass filters and the
modulator's envelope filter. You'll be using these parameters frequently, since they
play an important role in determining the character of the vocoder.
