The Ultimate Vocoder (1999)
Rackmount Midi digital Vocoder with DJ live features released at the end of the nineties.
The Warp is a pretty simple vocoder with many real-time controls that be used with either internal carrier (oscillator) or external one.
EFFECT RACKMOUNT MODULE intuive panel: no display but only 5 buttons and 7 big knobs - sounds like "tweak me, tweak me!".
panel terminal connectors:
- Midi interface
- Midi channel selector
- RCA stereo + jack main out
- RCA stereo + jack signal input
- switch for input between phono and line impedance / RIAA
- formant input with 10 /+4 gain switch.
- pedalswitch input for bypass.
Front panel terminal connectors:
- XLR micro input
VOICE hardware machine based on physical modelling algorithm instead of traditional multiband analog filtering. The vocoder principle is based on 2 basic A-B elements:
- Source is the sound to be shaped
- Formant is the signal to shape the source.
The interface is split into 3 macro sections:
- Formant input (1)
- Formant Warp (2)
- Mixing section (3).
structure
edit FORMANT INPUT first section allows to choose the FORMANT sources and the relative gain optimization, according to 3 LED-meters: green and orange indicate optimum source levels while red means that input is overloaded. Special LINE ES source mode simulates the letter sibilant (like "S") with a gated white noise aimed to preserve speech intelligibility.
formant input
FORMANT WARP this section models the signal with various functions:
- BAND optimizes the process for either high or low frequencies - e.g. drum loops
- GENDER changes harmonic content of the formant without chancing the fundamental pitch of the musical source
- Q is the amount of filter resonance
- ORDER sets the filter algorithm 's resolution and precision
- ROBOT PITCH is an internal oscillator with variable frequency
- NOISE amount of white noise for sibilance control
- FREEZE BUTTON temporally freezes the formant shape until it is released.
