EVOC 20 TrackOscillator Parameters
The EVOC 20 TrackOscillator window is divided into the following sections, from left to
right: Analysis In, Synthesis In, Tracking Oscillator, Formant Filter, LFO, U/V Detection
and Output.
Analysis In Section
The parameters in section control various aspects of the analysis signal.
 Attack knob: Controls how quickly the envelope follower coupled to each analysis
filter band reacts to rising signals. Longer Attack times result in a slower tracking
response to transients of the analysis input signal.
Note: A long attack time on percussive input signals (such as spoken word or hi-hat
parts) results in a less articulated vocoder effect. Set Attack as low as possible to
achieve precise articulation.
 Release knob: Controls how quickly the envelope follower coupled to each analysis
filter band reacts to falling signals. Longer release times make transients of the
analysis input signal sound for a longer period of time at the Vocoders output.
Note: A long release time on percussive input signals results in a less articulated
vocoder effect. Release times that are too short result in rough, grainy vocoder
sounds. Release values of around 8 to 10 ms are a useful starting point.
