BV512 VOCODER
669
Attack This is a global attack time control, affecting all envelope followers (see “Filter bands”). Normally you probably want
this set to zero, to make the vocoder react as quick as possible. Raising the Attack time can be useful for “smear-
ing” sounds, creating pads, etc.
Not available in Equalizer mode.
Decay Similarly, this controls the decay time for all envelope followers, i.e. how quick the filter band levels drop. Adjust this
according to taste and context.
Not available in Equalizer mode.
Shift Shifts the carrier filters up or down in frequency, drastically changing the character of the vocoded (or equalized)
sound. This parameter can be controlled via CV, for phaser-like sweeps and special effects.
HF Emph
(High Frequency Emphasis)
Boosts the high frequencies in the carrier signal. This is sometimes desired to get a clearer vocoded sound. The
reason is that a carrier signal should theoretically contain roughly equal energies in all frequency ranges for best
results - in a typical synth sound the high frequencies are often weaker than the low frequencies. Raising the HF
Emph control will rectify this.
Not available in Equalizer mode.
Dry/Wet Determines the balance between modulator sound (dry) and vocoded sound (wet). To get the pure vocoder sound,
set this to wet (turned fully right).
Not available in Equalizer mode.
