BV512 VOCODER

220

Using the BV512 as a reverb

This is a very special trick which can be quite cool. Proceed as follows:

1. Create a Redrum device.

The “vocoder-reverb” is best suited for drums, even though nothing stops

you from using it on other sounds.

2. Create a Subtractor and a vocoder.

The Subtractor will automatically be routed to the carrier input. We don’t

need a dedicated modulator device in this setup.

3. Flip the rack around and connect Aux send 1 on the Mixer to the

modulator input on the vocoder.

4. While you’re there, re-route the vocoder output to Aux return 1.

This way, our vocoder-reverb will be connected as a regular send effect.

5. Set the vocoder to FFT (512) mode, turn the Decay knob to between

6 and 7 and turn the Dry/Wet control to “wet” (fully right)

6. On the Subtractor, set up a noise sound as follows:

Turn the Oscillator Mix knob fully to the right.

Turn on the Noise section (but make sure Osc 2 is off).

In the Noise section, turn Color to around twelve o’clock.

Open the filter fully and make sure resonance is set to 0.

Make sure Filter Envelope Amt is 0 (and turn off velocity modulation.

Raise the Sustain to full in the Amp Envelope section.

Now we want the Subtractor to play a continuous noise. You could just route

MIDI to it, play a note and keep it pressed, but that will probably wear you out in

the long run. Better to use a Matrix:

7. Create a Matrix and route it to the Subtractor.

We really only need the Gate connection - the note number isn’t important

with the noise patch.

8. Set up a one step pattern with a tied gate (press [Shift] and draw

the gate) and start playback on the Matrix.

Now the vocoder gets a continuous noise signal as carrier.

9. Create a suitable drum pattern on the Redrum and start pattern

playback.

10. Gradually turn up send 1 for the Redrum channel in the mixer.

This now serves as a balance control between the dry drum sound and the

reverb, generated by the voccoded noise! Set it to a suitable reverb level.

11. Use the Decay control on the vocoder to adjust the reverb decay

time.

12. Use the Noise Color control on the Subtractor to make the reverb

darker or brighter.

You could use the filter cutoff for this as well.

That’s it - a pretty good reverb sound with a lot of control. Although the settings

above give the most natural sound, you can vary the sound and create special-

FX reverb in the following ways for example:

• Switch the vocoder to a lower band mode.

• Lower the cutoff and add some resonance in the Subtractor filter.

• Modulate the Subtractor filter with a fast LFO.

• Set the Subtractor filter to HighPass mode to remove the bottom end from

the reverb.

• Turn off the Matrix controlling the Subtractor and “play” the noise patch

yourself (or from the sequencer). This way you can create gated reverb ef-

fects, etc.
