02 / SOUNDSUSTAINED SYNTH
Carrier
A continuous sawtooth chord. This supplies the pitch and harmonics that the modulator will shape.
03 / TRANSFERVOCODER
Result
The carrier follows the modulator's rhythm and changing frequency shape. Pauses become pauses.
Modulator band energy → carrier band volume → result
More bands divide the sound more finely. Compare the vowel shapes at 8 and 24.
Changes the generated rhythm. With an imported recording, changes playback speed and pitch.
How strongly the modulator opens each carrier band. Raise this for a quiet voice recording.
