Using Triton as a Vocoder

 

A vocoder takes the sound wave from one source (the carrier) and modulates with the waveform of another source (the modulator).  There can be a lot of esoteric electronic and acoustic theory discussed with a vocoder, but it is best heard.To vocode on your Triton:

 

 1) plug an audio input into input 1
 2) set the mic/line switch appropriately
 3) go to global audio input tab
 4) set input 1 Bus(IFX/Indiv) to IFX2
 5) set pan to R 127  (you do this so that none of the audio is mixed with the final product)
 6) select your carrier patch (a 003 legato strings, for example)
     a: it should be rich in harmonics, i.e. strings, harmonic pads
 7) press menu, p8 edit-insert effect, insert FX tab
 8) for IFX2, select 093:vocoder
 9) turn on the vocoder effect by pressing the "off" button(it should change to "on)
10) select routing tab, and set ALL OSCs to IFX2
11) press menu, p4 edit-Amp
12) press Amp2 tab, change pan to L001(this step is only necessary in DBL voices)

Now play and talk at the same time - you are vocording.
