AIR Talkbox (RTAS)
You can use the Talkbox effect to add voice-like resonances to audio signals.
The following table lists the AIR Talkbox plug-in parameters:
Parameter Description
Mode Lets you specify the method by which the Stereo Width plug-in will create the artificial stereo
field.
• Adjust — Adjusts the existing stereo width of the signal by M-S encoding, equalizing the S
component with the Low/Mid/High controls and boosting/attenuating it with the Width
control, then M-S decoding back to stereo. The Delay control delays the right signal relative
to the left for an additional widening effect (known as “Haas panning”).
• Comb — Adds artificial width to the signal by M-S encoding then adding a delayed version
of the M component to the S component. This creates a comb filtering effect that shifts some
frequencies to the left and others to the right.
• Phase — Affects how the Low/Mid/High controls set the centre frequencies of 3 phase
shifters. This shifts the relative phase of the left and right channels, giving a much more
subtle effect than Comb mode.
Process Boosts or cuts the Low, Mid and High-frequency bands of the generated stereo signal.
Trim Adjusts the perceived center/source of the generated stereo signal.
• Level — Sets the volume of the perceived center of the stereo signal.
• Pan — Sets the position left-to-right of the perceived center of the stereo signal.
Delay Lets you specify the duration of delay used in Phase mode (0–8 ms).
Width Sets the final width of the generated stereo field.
Parameter Description
Vowel Lets you choose the shape of the formant filter, by the vowel sound that is simulated
(OO/OU/AU/AH/AA/AE/EA/EH /EE/ER/UH/OH).
Env Depth Creates a positive or negative offset in the setting of the Vowel control, effected by the envelope
follower. At its center, the knob has no effect. Turned to the right or left of center, the Env Depth
knob shifts the value of the Vowel control up or down.
When you trigger the envelope follower, the Vowel parameter moves to its normal setting (in
time with the envelope’s attack), then back to the offset value (in time with the envelope’s
release).
