TunableVocoder<br />

Filters Category<br />

Tune the base frequency of the vocoder and control the spacing of the center frequencies of the filters.<br />

Input<br />

<strong>The</strong> sound source that you hear going through the filter bank.<br />

SideChain<br />

<strong>The</strong> spectrum of this <strong>Sound</strong> controls the amplitudes of each filter in the filter bank.<br />

TimeConstant<br />

<strong>The</strong> smaller the time constant, the more quickly the amplitude envelopes respond to changes in the side<br />

chain spectrum. Longer time constants result in a less precise sound (and give a reverberated effect).<br />

NbrBands<br />

This is the number of filters desired.<br />

BankSize<br />

This is the number of filters that should be scheduled on each processor. Ordinarily you should leave this<br />

set to default. If you run out of realtime processing, you can try reducing the bankSize, as <strong>for</strong> example<br />

0.75 * default<br />

LogSpacing<br />

Check this box to specify the spacing between center frequencies as an interval in pitch space. Uncheck<br />

the box if you prefer to specify the spacing as a frequency in hertz.<br />

AnalysisFreq<br />

This is the lowest center frequency in the filter bank operating on the SideChain.<br />

SynthesisFreq<br />

This is the lowest center frequency in the filter bank operating on the Input.<br />

AnalysisLevel<br />

This is an attenuator on the amplitude of the SideChain be<strong>for</strong>e it goes through the filters.<br />

SynthesisLevel<br />

This is an attenuator on the amplitude of the Input be<strong>for</strong>e it goes through the filters.<br />

AnalysisSpacing<br />

This is the spacing between the center frequencies of the filters on the SideChain. Use nn as the units if<br />

LogFrequency is checked. Use hz as the units if LogFrequency is unchecked.<br />

SynthesisSpacing<br />
