ModulationThere are six modlines in Phase Vocoder's modulation window. The first 4 allow you tosend your values through a table. The last 2 give you the option of using a toggleinstead of a table.Like in PolyFuzz Modulation, the Phase Vocoder Modulation window gives you access tothe modulation sources available from Analysis and MIDI Input. In Phase Vocoder eachstring represents a different track (string 1 corresponds to track 1, etc...). Here you canmap sources to Pitch Speed settings, Gain, Transport settings such as: distance,location, scrub, start, stop, loop. You can control the playback of all six samples usingany of your strings' modulation sources or a MIDI source that you set up in MIDIInput (see page 13). Some parameter destinations in Phase Vocoder require a specialexplanation:Transport > Play Once - if this destination receives a value that goes from 0to any positive number the corresponding track will play through the sound fileonce and then stop.Transport > Stop - any positive number will cause the corresponding track tostop playing.Transport > Play Loop - a value that goes from 0 to any positive number willcause the corresponding track to playback and loop continuously.Transport > Play from Here - if you have previously stopped the sample or ifyou've been scrubbing through it, "Play from Here" will play the sample fromthe point you stopped it or the last place it was scrubbed from. Any value willcause it to do this.Transport > Scrub - values determine where in the sound file you'rescrubbing. 0 is the beginning and 127 is the end.Transport > Distance - if this destination receives any positive value, thesample will play that far into the sound file. 0 meaning the very beginning and127 meaning the very end.Click the destination button in the corner to go back to the window you are modulating.(See above in the Preset Mod section (page 14) for a more specific explanation of themodline. Also see the String Select section on page 22 for a more in depth explanationof the string select and copy functions.)SMACKSmack is like having a voltage-controlled, phase-driven, modular synthesizer integratedinto your performance rig. Smack works with String Port's Analysis app in order to allowyou to trigger envelopes with your playing. In Smack you can modulate the sound ofeach string of your instrument using any or all of the following types of synthesis: Inter-string Modulation, Phase Modulation, Harmonic-Summation, Wavetable Synthesis,Formant Generation, Wave Shaping, Octave Generation, Voltage-Controlled Filtering, EQenvelopes, Pitch Shifting, and a Voltage-Controlled Amplitude envelope to finish it off.The capabilities of each synthesis and processing module are as versatile and powerfulworking individually as they are in unison.The left half of the window categorizes all of the effects on that side as "Sources" andthe right side categorizes the effects there as "Processes". Phase information that istaken from your string is used to drive the synthesis on the "Sources" side. After that, |
