BV512 VOCODER583
Using the BV512 as a reverb
This is a very special trick which can be quite cool. Proceed as follows:
1. Create a Mixer 14:2 device from the Utilities Palette.
2. Create a Redrum device.
The “vocoder-reverb” is best suited for drums, even though nothing stops you from using it on other sounds.
3. Create a Subtractor and a vocoder.
The Subtractor will automatically be routed to the carrier input. We don’t need a dedicated modulator device in this
setup.
4. Flip the rack around and connect Aux send 1 on the Mixer to the modulator input on the vocoder.
5. While you’re there, re-route the vocoder output to Aux return 1.
This way, our vocoder-reverb will be connected as a regular send effect.
6. Set the vocoder to FFT (512) mode, turn the Decay knob to between 6 and 7 and turn the Dry/Wet control to
“wet” (fully right).
7. On the Subtractor, set up a noise sound as follows:
D Turn the Oscillator Mix knob fully to the right.
D Turn on the Noise section (but make sure Osc 2 is off).
D In the Noise section, turn Color to around twelve o’clock.
D Open the filter fully and make sure resonance is set to 0.
D Make sure Filter Envelope Amt is 0 (and turn off velocity modulation).
