Bypass: The "Bypass" button plays the original signal.
Dynamic filter
Response time (release): Affects the speed of the dynamic filter adjustment to the
modulator spectrum. As the release value increases, the Vocoder follows the modulator
slower and slower, and the sound changes sound softer and feature more reverb in the
carrier. To improve the clarity of spoken words, this parameter should be set to a low
value.
Dynamic (reduction): This parameter affects the dynamics of the modulator signal for
reducing the modulation depth of the dynamic filter.
This prevents two often undesired side effects of modulation: on the one hand, the volume
change of the modulator signal is added to the output signal in a slightly more moderate
form, which may improve the power of the Vocoder voice. On the other hand, the low-level
portions of the modulator signal are ignored in order to prevent modulation of the carrier by
breathing or noise.
Instead of using dynamic reduction within the Vocoder, you can adjust the modulator signal
dynamics (or the resulting signals) with the dynamic tools integrated in Samplitude.
Resolution (filter bands): Dynamic filter resolution (approximately dependant upon the
number of filter bands). The best results are achieved with medium to high rates.
Pitch (filter shift): The dynamic filter of the Vocoder shifts the frequency up or down to
create certain pitch effects. For the clearest speech results, it is recommended not to
change this parameter.
Formant: Stretches the dynamic filter curves to manipulate the formants. This changes the
characteristics of the Vocoder voice.
Overlapping: This internal parameter changes the overlapping of the time window for the
modulator signal spectrum calculation.
On the "low" setting, the Vocoder sounds softer and more melodic, but some of the clarity
of speech may be lost.
