Invert phase
The sample data is in
verted along the amplitude axis, which means that
negative values become positive and vice versa. This function allows you to
adjust recordings with different phases to one another.
An incorrect phase occurs if during an analog recording parallel cables are
switched. To correct such errors, some mixers have a switch that can be used
to invert the phase of an input. If you press the switch by mistake, errors might
occur as well.
This function is reversible, so if you repeat it, the original signal is restored.
Modulation / Special
Vocoder
The vocoder principle: Carrier material (e.g. a surface sound or a synth chord)
is affected by a modulator (e.g. language or singing) so that one gets the
impression that it is speaking or singing. Rhythmic surface sounds can also be
developed if modulated with a drum loop.
This is done via the transmission of the frequency characteristics of the
modulator (speech) on the carrier (chord).
Carrier input
Here you have to select the desired carrier sample. Some special carrier
samples that have been loaded automatically from the "Vocoder" directory are
listed.
Use the "Carrier sample" check box to load any number of
samples of the current project or predefined carrier sample.
Here you can play the carrier on its own for test purposes.
Noise: This controller lets you add noise to the carrier sample. This makes
sense if the carrier material can not be modulated sufficiently or is irregular. It's
good for "filling" drum loops which have too many pauses between the beats.
