Tremolo 

Rate  and  depth  of  the  stereo  tremolo  effect.  If  the  Solo 
section  is  played  through  the  vocoder,  tremolo  reverts  to 
mono.  

Attack 

In  addition  to  setting  the  attack  rate  of  the  envelope,  the 
first  quarter  controls  how  much  of  a  percussive  click 
sound is added on the start of a note.  

Decay/Release 

The  release  or  decay  rate  of  the  envelope,  depending  on 
the selected 

Envelope Mode

Envelope Mode Selector 

This switch controls the envelope operation: 

 

In  the  left  position,  the  envelope  has  no  sustain  and 

decays immediately after the initial attack. This is per-
fect for clavinet or bass sounds. 

 

In the right position, notes are held at full sustain level 

until keys are released.

te/deactivate  the  vocoder.  When 
active, this button lights up.

To  hear  the  Vocoder  in  effect 

you  need  to  talk  into  a  connected 
microphone  and  press  at  least  one 
key on the keyboard simultaneous-
ly. Instead of the microphone input 
signal  you  can  use  a  line  signal 
coming  through  the  pedal  input  or 
a recorded freeze loop (see below). 

Microphone XLR connector 

Here  you  can  connect  the  inlcuded 
gooseneck microphone or any other 
suited microphone.
