Z-PLANE FILTER DESCRIPTIONS
DIPTHONGS
Implemented with parametric equalizer subsections, the resonances do not have the traditional overall lowpass effect that a true vocal resonance would have. Instead, they are placed at the same frequency as the resonances would be found in a true vowel, but the response at high frequencies is essentially flat to allow high frequencies of the samples to get through the filter.
The Morph axis controls movement between vowels. Key tracking is controlled by Frequency Tracking. Brightness and depth of effect is controlled by Transform 2. In certain filters, brightness is controlled by assigning velocity to Frequency Tracking. Each paravowel “A” contains peaks at 800 1150, 2800, 3500 and 4950Hz. Each paravowel “E” contains peaks at 400, 1600, 2700, 3300 and 4900Hz. Each “O” has peaks at 450, 800, 2830, 3500 and 4950Hz. Each “U” has peaks at 325, 700, 2530, 3500 and 4950Hz.
F021 AEParLPVow
This paravowel has a low pass filter to provide additional roll off, when desired. Otherwise, it behave as the other paravowels.
Morph: Controls movement between vowels. Try setting Transform 2 to 255 for additional brightness.
Freq. Tracking: Shifts all of the resonances up in frequency. Transform 2: Controls volume, depth of effect.
F022 AEParaVowel
Morph: Controls movement between vowels. Try setting Transform 2 to 255.
Freq. Tracking: Shifts all of the resonances up in frequency.
Transform 2: Controls the amplitude of all of the resonances, with 000 providing the lowest resonance amplitude, and 255 providing the highest resonance amplitude.
F023 AOLpParaVow
This paravowel has a low pass filter to provide additional roll off, when desired. Otherwise, it behaves as the other paravowels.
Morph: Controls movement between vowels. Try setting Transform 2 to 255.
Freq. Tracking: Shifts all of the resonances up in frequency. Transform 2: Controls the amplitude of all of the resonances.
F024 AOParaVowel
Morph: Controls movement between vowels.
Freq. Tracking: Shifts all of the resonances up in frequency.
Transform 2: Controls the amplitude of all of the resonances.
