Join Brian Trifon for an in-depth discussion in this video Composing with the EVOC 20, part of Logic Pro: Virtual Instruments.
So let's check out this musical example.…I've got a couple of the EVOC 20s in here.…Some are functioning as a synthesizer and others are vocoding the incoming audio signals.…So let's check out the example, and then I'll talk through what's going on with sounds.…(music playing)…So, up top here, we have got our EVOC 20, so I'll open this up so we can take a look.…
So this one is just acting as a synthesizer, so this is the growler sound.…That's what I'm calling it.…So I'll just play you that so you can hear what that's doing.…(music playing)…So you can see that there are some knobs and things moving here.…So what's happening is the FM intensity is being automated and so is this…Low Pass Filter Cutoff.…So that what's really mostly what's creating this sound.…So if I just stop this and play this sound--it's a pretty static sound, so…it's the movement of this in conjunction with the filter cutoff here that really…give it sort of a vocal quality.…
Notice that there is no vocoding happening, nothing coming in through the Side Chain input.…
