Vibrato Ctrl Values Auto Manual When set to Auto the vibrato envelope generator is enabled How long a note has to be held until the vibrato begins how fast it fades in how long it lasts etc is defined by the style you choose This is the standard operating mode However you may want to add vibrato manually in specific sections of your vocals and therefore have full control over the effect amount This is what the Manual mode is for When set to Manual vibrato envelope is disabled the amount of effect being applied is determined by the VIB Amount parameter only You can then use the modulation wheel of a MIDI keyboard for instance CC 1 to control the vibrato amount in real time Do not forget to set it back to Auto when you are finished with manual control so you can take advantage of the intelligent self control feature again VM Parm Lock When this parameter is set to Off default any changes made to the VM parameters other than style and amount are replaced by the style s defaults when the style is changed If VM Parm Lock is On the user controllable VM parameters are not changed when the style changes 24 Bulk Dump Press ENTER to perform a total Bulk dump of all presets to an external MIDI device such as a MIDI sequencer The VoiceOne is always ready to receive MIDI Bulk dump information See the section Presets Backup Via MIDI for more information on this in the Preset handling chapter The u

6. 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 VOICEMODELING EDIT PARAMETERS VIBRATO PARAMETERS Vibrato is a pitch and amplitude effect that singers often use in their delivery of a piece of music It is a combination of various characteristics of the voice being repeatedly altered in a oscillating fashion Every singer s vibrato is unique The Vibrato Styles are based on real vocalist s vibratos We have analyzed a large set of parameters from a voice database and created various vibrato models The Vibrato setting names reflect the style of the vocals from which they were extracted Experimentation is the key to finding a style setting that best suits your application You might begin incorporating Vibrato into your sound by setting the VIB Amt control to 50 This setting matches the depth level that we analyzed in
