U/V detection parameters
•
Sensitivity knob: Rotate to determine how responsive U/V detection is. Turn to the right for
higher settings, where more of the individual unvoiced portions of the input signal are
recognized. When high settings are used, the increased sensitivity to unvoiced signals can
lead to the U/V sound source being used on the majority of the input signal, including voiced
signals. Sonically, this results in a sound that resembles a radio signal that is breaking up and
contains a lot of static, or noise. (The U/V sound source is determined by the U/V Source menu,
as described below.)
•
U/V Source pop-up menu: Choose the sound sources that are used to replace the unvoiced
content of the input signal.
•
Noise: Uses noise alone for the unvoiced portions of the sound.
•
Noise + Synth: Uses noise and the synthesizer for the unvoiced portions of the sound.
•
Blend: Uses the analysis signal after it has passed through a highpass lter for the unvoiced
portions of the sound. The Sensitivity parameter has no eect when this setting is used.
•
U/V Level knob: Rotate to set the volume of the signal used to replace the unvoiced content in
the input signal.
Important: Take care with the Level knob, particularly when a high Sensitivity value is used, to
avoid internally overloading the EVOC 20 PolySynth.
