Formant control: Selecting the "Monophonic voice" algorithm may
result in so-called formants. Formants are sound components typical
for the character of instruments or the human voice. With instruments
they mainly result from the geometry of the resonance body. Human
formants are created by the anatomy of the vocal tract.
With most algorithms the formants are also influenced by changing
the pitch. Using the monophonic voice algorithm you can change the
position of the formants independent of the pitch. Acoustically, this
corresponds with stretching or compressing the above mentioned
geometry, and this can lead to interesting effects...
HARMONIZER box
Chord: Here you can set the chord that makes up the parallel voices
of the harmonizer, and a distinction is made between major and
minor. The settings of the keyboard are taken into account, unless
the option "Lead voice" has been activated.
Humanize: At a low setting this causes high quantization of the
parallel voices and makes the effect sound very artificial. If you select
a very high humanize value, the pitches of the individual voices will
vary and the cue will be shifted so that you get the impression of an
amateur ensemble.
Create voices: This button generates voices.
Harmonic adjustment: Parallel voices are usually generated by taking
the keyboard and humanize settings into account. However, if this
option is deactivated, then the voices are always kept exactly parallel
to the orange curve.
