Using the Voice Synth

The Voice Synth function lets you use Neptune as a harmony processor to generate polyphonic voices out of a monophonic input signal. The application is similar to how you would use a vocoder, such as the BV512 Vocoder, for example. However, using the Voice Synth in Neptune will produce completely transparent and natural sounding harmonies with pitches controlled from MIDI Note data.

1.	Create a sequencer track for the Neptune device and select the Neptune track in the Track list.

2.	Click the MIDI radio button to select “To Voice Synth” in the “MIDI” section. Also make sure the Voice Synth volume slider is raised:

•	When you sing through Neptune and hold down a note or a chord on your MIDI master keyboard, the output pitch(es) will correspond to the held MIDI note(s).

•	The Voice Synth harmonies will also respond to any Pitch Bend and Vibrato modulation.

The parameters in the Pitch Adjust, Transpose and Formant sections are ignored by the Voice Synth.

You can mix Pitched Signal with the Voice Synth signal in the Mixer section. If you only want the Voice Synth sound, lower the Pitched Signal fader.
