Tips

The Vocoder works with any input source except the in-out (resample) option. The currently active input signal is shown in the top right corner of the Vocoder screen, so you can confirm it is receiving signal before playing. Once set up, play notes on the keyboard while speaking or singing into the mic to hear the classic vocoder effect.
