The Vocoder
control to minimum.
You can switch the external Carrier-signal on and off with the CARRIER-EXT.key on the MIXER-panel.
The external Analyse-signal is controlled with exactly the same key as the microphone-signal. This
and off.
By the way - the Sirius-Vocoder allows you to mix internal Parts, microphone signals and external audio sources
almost randomly - this is for the Analyse-signal as well as the Carrier-signal. One exception: If you have connected an
audio cable to the ANALYSE-IN-socket, the MICROPHONE CONNECTOR on the front panel will
be disabled.
Tip: Would you like to use your own favorite microphone? Instead of the Goose-neck microphone
included with your Sirius, you can connect other dynamic microphones directly into the
MICROPHONE CONNECTOR-socket (XLR-socket) of the Sirius. The ANALYSE-IN is also suitable to connect a
microphone. If you want to use a condenser-microphone you will need an external phantompower supply. Whatever
Microphone you choose to use, make sure the Gain-control is sensibly adjusted to avoid feedback.
Changing the level of the individual Vocoder tracks:
You can use the change of volume of single Vocoder-tracks to create some interesting effects because
you can emphasize or de-emphasize each of the 11 frequency Bandwidth (Vocoder 'Bands') which
make up your complete vocoded sound. Even more interesting is performing these changes in
realtime while the sequencer section is active. You can create, for example, real-time morphing of
Pads or sound atmospheres. These options are made available to you using the dials of the MIXER-
panel: here you can, while your sequencer is running, set the volumes for the single Vocoder-Bands.
On the dials you have Vocoder-Bands 2-9 which each represent one bandwidth, from the deepest bass
to the highest treble. Band-2 is the deepest bass, Band 9 the highest treble. (the other Bands are
controllable only in the Edit-Vocoder menu - see page 91).
