Accessing Vocoder Formant and Consonant settings

Post by Psyre »

Hey there, just wondering if someone can help me clear up some confusion.

I'm trying to access the additional vocoder options, formant and consonant behavior. This is said to be under patch effects. I read elsewhere in this thread that you must be in performance mode. I'm still unable to locate these settings.

The "pro" manual states:
"To explore the wide range of options available for each effect, press the Menu button, scroll to Patch Effects, press Enter, then use the scroll buttons to move through each parameter set using the value knob to make adjustments. These adjustments can then be saved with your patch, if desired.

The Vocoder also includes a few parameters for fine-tuning formant and consonant behavior that are accessed using a slightly different approach. In this case, begin by pressing the Menu button, then scroll to Patch Effects, press Enter, and then use the scroll buttons to move through the parameter options."

When reading those paragraphs, I fail to identify the "slightly different approach".

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
