Vocoder synth parameters
If the built-in synthesizer is the carrier, it is the sound of this instrument 
that the modulator source is applied to. The synth is polyphonic with 
up to 8 voices and features 2 oscillators per voice. The synth has the 
following parameters:
Parameter Description
Voices This sets the number of voices for the synth (1-8).
Fine Tune Tunes the oscillators in cent (100th of a semitone) steps.
Pitch Bend Sets the up/down range of the Pitch Bend in semitone steps (1-12).
Noise Adds white noise to the sound.
NoiseMod This makes the oscillators modulate the noise level. This gives the 
noise a rasping sound, turning “sss” into “zzz”.
P.Drift Adds random pitch variation to the oscillators.
P.Glide This makes the pitch glide between notes played. The parameter con-
trols the time it takes for the pitch to glide from one note to the next. 
P.Bright This is a lowpass filter that can be used to soften the tone of the oscil-
lators. It does not affect the white noise generator.
P.Detune Allows you to detune one of the oscillators in cent steps.
LFO Rate Controls the LFO rate (for vibrato).
Vibrato Adds vibrato to the oscillators. This can also be controlled by using 
the Mod Wheel.

Reverb B
Reverb is used to add ambience and “space” to recordings. The 
Reverb B effect features the following parameters:
Parameter Description
Mix Sets the level balance between the dry signal and the effect. If Reverb B 
is used as a send effect, this should be set to maximum as you can con-
trol the dry/effect balance with the send. 
Room Size Governs the “size” of the simulated room environment.
Predelay This parameter sets a delay between the direct sound and the reverb ef-
fect output. A short predelay before the reverb reduces reverb “clutter” 
which blurs the sound, and makes the reverb effect more natural-sound-
ing.
Reverb Time This parameter sets the length of the reverb effect.
Damp This parameter “dampens” the higher frequencies, producing a rounder 
and smoother sounding reverb.
