Shift:
Determines how the cutoff frequencies of all BPFs (for the Inst Input) are shifted, in BPF
units. This parameter can be used to coarsely change the character of the Vocoder sound.
•
Offset:
Adjusts the cutoff frequencies of all BPFs (for the Inst Input) finely. This parameter can
be used to finely change the character of the Vocoder sound.
When the settings of both keyboard performance and Song data are applied, those settings are merged to control the har-
mony.
