1. Introduction

The A-129 /x series of modules, whose essential
component parts are the A-129 /1 (analysis section)
and A-129 /2 (synthesis section), builds into a modu-
lar vocoder
.

Module A-129 /5 (Voiced / Unvoiced Detector) enab-
les the vocoder to distinguish between voiced sounds
and unvoiced sounds - i.e consonants like s, sh, v, f
and z - and to switch between two different carrier
signals
to send to the instrument input in module
A-129 /2.

Module A-129 /5 has an adjustable gain control for
the speech signal. There’s also an adjustable treble
boost
control, to help speech intelligibility where
desired.

A gate output with associated LED indicator (whose
brightness is proportional to the amount of unvoiced
signal detected) offers further help in the sound-
making process.
