Appendix
c: Voice Top
d: Voice Center
e: Voice Bottom
These parameters assign vowels to the top, center, and bottom
position of the controller.
E.g.: When “Voice Top”=A, “Voice Center”=I, and
“Voice Bottom”=U:
If “Sweep Mode”is set to D-mod and Ribbon is selected as the
modulation source, moving your finger from the right to left of
the ribbon controller will change the sound from “a” to “i,” then
“u.”
If Sweep Mode is set to LFO, the sound will change cyclically
from “a” to “i,” “u,” “i,” then “a.”
f: Formant Shift
This parameter adjusts the frequency level to which the effect is
applied. If you wish to apply the effect to a higher-range sound,
set this parameter to a higher value; to apply the effect to a
lower-range sound, set this to a lower value.
f: Resonance
This parameter sets the intensity of resonance for the voice pat-
tern. A larger value will add more character to the sound.
16: Stereo Decimator
This effect creates a rough sound like a cheap sampler by lower-
ing the sampling frequency and data bit length. You can also
simulate noise unique to a sampler (aliasing).
a: Pre LPF
If a sampler with a very low sampling frequency receives very
high-pitched sound that could not be heard during playback, it
could generate pitch noise that is unrelated to the original sound.
Set “Pre LPF” to On to prevent this noise from being generated.
If you set the “Sampling Freq” to about 3 kHz and set “Pre LPF”
to Off, you can create a sound like a ring modulator.
f: Resolution
g: Output Level
If you set a smaller value for the “Resolution” parameter, the
sound may be distorted. The volume level may also be changed.
Use “Output Level” to adjust the level.
