Description

Behringer's 16-band vocoder in 16 HP. The modulator comes in at MOD IN, a combination XLR and 6.35 mm socket for a microphone or a line source (a switch on the board sets which), its level set by MODULATOR. The carrier is one of six internal ones, chosen with CARRIER BANK 1 (triangle/ramp, square/pulse, multiple wave) or CARRIER BANK 2 (noise, vox, FM) and shown on their LEDs, shaped by CAR SHAPE, its CV through SHAPE CV, or a signal at CARRIER IN, its level set by CARRIER. FORMANT sets the spectral peak, ENV SENSE the envelope's sensitivity, RESO and FREQ the filter; FM adds the modulation at FM IN. The internal carrier plays from MIDI IN, USB MIDI, CV IN and GATE IN; AUD OUT gives the vocoded signal.
