Setting up – using an external carrier
There are two modes for using an external carrier:
• “Ext” mode is when the carrier and the modulator can be any two audio sources.
The synth section is disabled and grayed out when this mode is selected. MIDI input
and the Gap Thru Vocoder parameter are also disabled.
• “Ext+MIDI” mode mixes the audio carrier with the Vocoder’s synth sound.
This is described on page 39.
To use an external carrier instead of the built-in synth (“Ext mode”),
you set up as follows:
1. Create a Group channel from the Add Track submenu on the Project
menu.
2. Open an audio file you wish to use as the carrier source and place it
on an empty audio track.
3. Pan the audio channel full right in the Mixer or in the Inspector.
4. Route the output of the audio channel to the group.
5. Open an audio file you wish to use as the modulator source and place
it on another empty audio track.
Events on the two audio tracks (carrier and modulator) have to play back simulta-
neously for the Vocoder to work.
6. Pan the modulator audio channel full left in the Mixer or in the Inspector.
7. Route the output of the modulator audio channel to the group.
8. Select the Vocoder as an insert effect for the group channel.
9. Open the Vocoder panel and activate the “Ext.” Mode button.
10.If you now start playback, the carrier channel will be modulated by the
modulator channel!
Note that the synth section on the left half of the Vocoder panel and the “Gap Thru”
parameter are now disabled.
