Swap Off / Swapped
Swap inverts the speech and carrier signal by one mouse
click. Use this function for experimental purposes.
Unvoiced Detector
An Unvoiced Detector adds noise to the non tonal
vocoder signal to increasee the articulation of speech and
ist transients.
✻ The word "Waldorf" for example consists of
consonants and vowels. The W in the beginning
sounds more tonal while the d and the f sounds
noisy. Between these characters you will find
vowels. The Unvoiced Detector recognizes the
sibilants and generates the following output signal
(C stands for Carrier and R stands for UV signbal):
W a l d o r f
R C C R C C R
The transition between Carrier and UV signal is
smoothened to avoid skips.
w
You can prelistening the signal of the Unvoiced
Detector when turning up the Carrier parameter
within the Output section. To control the recognized
transients in relation to the input signal you can also
turn up the Speech parameter.
Unvoiced Detector Active On / Off
Switches the Unvoices Detector on or off. The switch
lights red when activated.
Sensitivity 1.000:0.000...0.000:1.000
Controls the sensitivity of the UV detector. Higher values
recognize more transients so that a higher amount of UV
signals will be added.
Gain -20...+20 dB
Controls the level of the UV signal. Higher settings
increases the gain of the UV signals.
UV Signal Noise / Speech / Noise Mix
Determines the signal which is used for creating the UV
signal:
