BV512 VOCODER

215

Connections

The back panel of the BV512 offers the following connections:

Individual band levels

These are CV outputs and inputs.

• The upper row outputs CV signals generated by the envelope followers for

each frequency band.

• The lower row are CV level inputs to the individual bandpass filters through

which the signal is processed (the “vocoder filters”).

Connecting a CV signal to one of the inputs breaks the internal signal path

from the corresponding envelope follower (in other words, that frequency

band is now controlled by the CV signal you’ve connected - not by the cor-

responding frequency band in the modulator signal).

• If 16 band mode is selected, each output/input pair corresponds to a sepa-

rate frequency band. In 8 band or 4 band mode, only the 8 first or 4 first out-

put/input pairs are used. In 32 band mode, each output is a mix of two

adjacent frequency bands and each input controls two bands. Finally, in FFT

(512) mode each output/input pair corresponds to several frequency bands.

There are several interesting uses for the Individual band levels connectors: you

can cross-patch frequency bands so that e.g. low frequencies in the modulator

signal controls high frequency bands in the vocoder, you can extract CV signals

for controlling synth parameters in other devices, you can base the vocoding on

CV signals from other devices rather than on a modulator signal, etc. See page

218 for details.

Other CV connections

Audio connections

| Connection | Description

Shift (CV in) This allows you to control the Shift parameter from an

external CV source. A sensitivity knob determines how

much the Shift setting is affected by the CV signal.

Hold (Gate in) When a gate signal is sent to this input, the Hold func-

tion is activated (see page 214). Hold remains on until

the gate signal “goes low” (falls to zero). By connecting

e.g. a Matrix to this input, you can create “stepped” vo-

coder sounds, sample and hold-like effects, etc.

| Connection | Description

Carrier input This is where you connect the instrument device that

provides the carrier signal (or the device to be pro-

cessed in Equalizer mode) - typically a synth or sampler

device. The vocoder can handle mono or stereo carrier

signals.

Modulator input This is where you connect the instrument device that

provides the modulator signal, in mono. This connec-

tion is not used in Equalizer mode.

Output In Vocoder mode, the outputs carry a mix between the

vocoded signal and the modulator signal (as set with

the Dry/Wet control on the front panel). In Equalizer

mode the output is the carrier signal, processed

through the equalizer filter.

Note that the output will be in mono if the Carrier input

is in mono, and vice versa - the BV512 does not pro-

cess mono into stereo.
