Back to the Worksong Nr 2 "Voc Grov":
When you press the ANALYSE-key the lit Part-keys tell you that the drum tracks of the Sirius are the Analyse-
signals of the Vocoder. When you hold the CARRIER-key you will see that the Synth-tracks are selected as the
Carriers. With playing the sequencer try and switch off the Analyse- and Carrier function of each Part separately
so that you can hear the original signal. This example of Vocoder-use is somewhat classic: The pads of the Synth-
Parts are rhythmatised by the Percussion- and Drum sound, creating a rhythmic pad.
Expert´s advice: Maybe you have already tried this - the Sirius gives you the option to use a Part as the Analyse-
Signal and Carrier-signal simultaneously. Your imagination will decide how to use this option!
