Vocoder. (The Carrier serves as the basic sound over which the vocal characteris-
tics are applied.)

FREQ. (Frequency)
Determines the HPF cutoff frequency for the microphone input sound. Setting this
to a low value results in a minimally processed input sound—in other words, close
to the original. Setting this to higher values emphasizes the higher frequency conso-
nant and sibilant sounds (making words easier to understand).
