Waldorf STVC
The Solo section is a 16-voice synthesizer to complement the string sounds. Here, too, a single knob guides you through many useful settings. Solo is a companion to the strings, but is powerful enough to play the lead role on occasion. The vocoder replaces the string section's equalizer with a filter bank that models the vocal tract based on the language entered. The fully polyphonic oscillator bank is used as the carrier signal and can produce very intelligible speech or vocals. The formants can be modified to change the perceived gender. The adjustable jitter makes the voice rough or hoarse, even fluttery. The solo section can be played through the vocoder or parallel to it.
The novel tweak function allows specific interventions in details of the sound generation, such as the solo cutoff frequency or chorus LFO rate. It is similar in structure to a classic modulation matrix, but also allows changes to implied settings through fixed values or offsets.
