Sonic Charge Bitspeek RE - Manual (Page 5)

PITCH
You can transpose the generated audio by -36 to +36 semitones (-3 to +3 octaves) .
FINE
Fine pitch adjustment from -100 to +100 cent.
TRACKING
Determines the amount by which the synthesized audio follows the pitch of the
source signal, from 0% to 200%. At 0%, the pitch will stay fixed and produce a ro-
botic vocoder-like quality. At 100%, the processed audio will follow the pitch intona-
tion of the original audio as closely as possible.
(Sometimes though, the tracking
detects the wrong octave, especially on source material with extremely low pitch.)
Notice that PITCH , FINE and TRACKING also affects the CV outputs on the back-
side (NOTE and PITCH) .
DETUNE
There is a second oscillator which can be used to achieve a fat detuned sound or
for chord-like effects. The second oscillator is transposed from the first by +0 to
+1200 cents, representing a range of up to one octave.
NOISE (adjust)
This parameter adjusts the balance of "voiced" versus "voiceless" sound. At the de-
fault setting +/- 0%,
Bitspeek attempts to follow the balance of the source signal, so
that "voiced" sounds (e.g. vowels) produce distinct tones while "voiceless" sounds
(e.g. consonants) produce noise.
By turning NOISE all the way down to -100%, all noise will be removed from the
output audio. By turning NOISE up to +100%, the output audio will consist only of
filtered noise (sounding like a loud whisper) .
User Interface Back
AUDIO IN
Connect AUDIO IN to the source that should be analyzed and recreated. Bitspeek
works with stereo as well as mono sources.
EXT IN
Use "external input" to apply the frequency spectrum of the incoming audio onto
other signals, e.g. to make any synthesizer in Reason speak. When you connect
