The Vocoder
Tip: If you are using the microphone as Analyse-source you can emphasize (with Highpass) the
sibilant qualities of the voice to increase the intelligibility ( ie. the T's and S's).
Menu-page 12-29*: Level/Panorama for the individual Bands
(The volume for Bands 2-9 can also be controlled on the front panel)
On the last 18 menu-pages you can set the volumes and the panorama settings of the other 9
frequency Bands. Yes it´s true: You can indeed select different pan-settings for every single Band!
Use your Vocoder as a psycho-acoustic-processor and distribute in a filterbank-programme the high
frequencies of your mix over the total width of the stereo image. Here is an expample of the menu-
page of the first Vocoder Band:
You can store the
settings of all parameters of the Vocoder-menu in a SONG.
The Bypass-functions as well as the complete signaling of the SIRIUS-Vocoder is explained in the
diagram on the following page.
Where are the Vocoder settings stored?
Important: The different basic settings of the Vocoder are stored in different storage areas. Whereas,
for instance, the settings of the Bands are stored in the Song, the Vocoder-routing is stored in the
Pattern. This makes sense because: it allows you during a song to change different allocations. For
instance the Percussion track is modulating a pad at the beginning of the piece while this same Percussion becomes
clattering metal plates at the end of the song. The different storage functions can be selected as usual with the
WRITE-key to the right of the display. Select the desired storage area. The following table shows you which
setting of the Vocoder is stored to which area.
