VOICEMODELING EDIT PARAMETERS
EDITING VOICE MODELING PARAMETERS
GENERAL INFORMATION
A single click will activate/deactivate the effect.
Double clicking on the key will enter the Edit
menu of the VM effect algorithm. Lit key LED
indicates active effect block. As all human
voices are unique in their character, every input
voice will be affected differently by VoiceOne.
The Style parameter in each category is a
collection of different Voice Modeling
algorithms. Each one has its own unique
application. You choose a style to work with,
and use the other parameters in the category to
manipulate the style further. Simple
descriptions are provided in the Preset/
/Style/Applications Guide further on in this
manual.
INFLECTION PARAMETERS
The inflection effect can alter the inflection of
your vocals in different ways. You can add
various types of "scooping" effects to the
onsets of a lead vocal for instance, but
inflection is also the place where you can find
the humanization tools that will help you give a
harmony line its own identity or create
extremely natural doubling effect. Inflection
provides tools such as portamento, pitch and
timing randomization (using our FlexTime
(TM)
algorithm) as well as up/down scoop models.
INF Amount
The depth of the inflection applied to the signal.
INF Style
A list of base Inflection types, each with unique
characteristics.
INF Retrig.
Selects how often the ‘scoop’ effect is applied.
Voice One listens for a silenced or unvoiced
duration that you specify. Based on the setting,
the inflection will be placed at the start of the
next note. This parameter has no effect if the
current style does not feature a scooping effect.
INF Length
Sets the rate of ‘scoop’ or ‘portamento’ toward
the original sung pitch. This parameter has no
effect if the current style does not feature a
scooping or a portamento effect.
INF PitRnd
Applies small variations or pitch randomization
to the pitch contour. At a value of 100% the
maximum randomization will be +/- 50 cents.
This parameter is used to give human-like
enhancements to the pitch, just like we hear in
real vocals. This is useful for creating natural
sounding doubling/harmony voices and MIDI
pitch-shifted melodies. You can try it on heavily
pitch-corrected vocals as well.
INF TimRnd / INF TimeDly
These two parameters control our proprietary
FlexTime
(TM) algorithm. FlexTime
(TM) allows you
to alter the timing of your vocal track by slowing
down or ‘catching up’ the rate at will (without
altering the pitch). TimRnd is a time
randomization parameter. It is very useful for
harmony and doubling since it decorrelates the
timing of the two voices and makes them sound
like two independent voices. TimRnd is scaled
by the Inflection amount. It is also expressed as
a percentage of the TimDly. For instance, if the
TimDly is set to 100ms, TimRnd is at 50% and
INF Amt is at 50%, the actual delay will be
randomized between 75 and 100ms. TimeDly
controls the delay of the processed voice
dynamically. It is not scaled by the Inflection
amount. You can manually control this
parameter by controlling it in real time via MIDI
(CC#45). Increasing the delay will slow down
the track (the faster you increase the delay, the
more it slows down) and decreasing it will make
the processed vocals speed up (and catch up
with the dry signal when the delay is back to 0).
TimBuf - Inflection Time Buffer - This
parameter can 'slip' your vocal track. When the
dry track is delayed, the buffer can run the
effected audio 'ahead' as well as 'behind' for the
ultimate doubler - not just a delay but a time
randomizer, using the dry signal as a pivot. An
increased TimBuf setting gives more range to
the TimRnd (Time Randomization) setting, but
decreases the range of the TimDly (Time
Delay).
Note: If you choose to use the TimBuf
parameter in a MIDI sequence, it is a good idea
to send the CC for the buffer first. Changing this
buffer during performance will introduce audio
clicks. Don't worry, because you can always
change the randomization amount and time
delay in real-time using the TimDly and TimRnd
parameters instead.
