| | Lastly, I show how the results of the phase vocoder analysis can be used musically to effect useful modifications of recorded sounds. | | | In the Fourier interpretation, the number of filters bands in the phase vocoder is simply the number of points in the Fourier transform. | | | My hope is that this tutorial will lay the groundwork for widespread use of the phase vocoder, both as a tool for sound analysis and modification, and as a catalyst for continued musical exploration. |

| | The EVOC20 TO differs fundamentally from the polyphonic vocoder in its use of an audio track, or the monophonic pitch-tracking oscillator, for the synthesis signal. | | | A second LFO, syncable to song tempo, facilitates the modulation of formants through the movement of filter bands. | | | Up to 20 filter bands can be used for the articulation process. |

| | The Phase Vocoder may be thought of as a series of band pass filters, each band pass filter referred to as a channel or bin. | | | The center frequencies of the band pass filters are integer multiples of a fundamental frequency. | | | The Phase Vocoder can track the amount of frequency deviation from the center frequency within each channel. |

| | Another remarkable feature of the Roland Vocoder is a special Hold feature that locks on to the vowel sound quality so that one vowel sound does not have to be continually repeated while you play your instrument. | | | The primary function of the Roland Vocoder is to analyze the spoken or sung human voice and use this information (or program) to trigger another musical signal (or carrier) giving the instrument the ability to 'speak.' This vocal synthesis is accomplished by processing the voice through a series of eleven Voice Character analysis filters. | | | The Roland Vocoder allows for both balanced and unbalanced program inputs and outputs and contains a special guitar input that permits attenuation of the guitar harmonics. |

| | The quality, volume and durations of recordings are said to be increased by using a sound source placed within audible distance of the microphone during recording. | | | Typically this would be a radio tuned to between stations so only white noise is audible; the theory being that this provides an acoustic basis for the voices to be constructed from, similar to vocoder technology. | | | An alternative explanation is that the white noise provides random sounds that may be interpreted as voices by people who expect or want to hear voices. |
