Playing a vocoder program
A vocoder modifies the signal from an oscillator or
other source (the "carrier") by applying the spectral
characteristics of an external input source such as a
human voice (the "modulator").
The most common way to use a vocoder is to produce a
"talking instrument" effect by taking the input signal of
your voice from the mic while you hold down a chord on
the keyboard. However you can also obtain interesting
results by using audio input sources other than a human
voice, such as rhythm sounds or anything else you like.
Here's how to connect a mic and try out the vocoder.

1. Connect the mic to the INPUT jack on the side
panel, and then set the Input select switch to MIC2.
2. Hold down the SHIFT button and press the SHORT
RIBBON button.
The audio input signal from the INPUT jack will
be sent from the Output jack without modification
(Audio In Thru).
The SHIFT button will light up if a signal is being
input to the INPUT jack. It will light up in red if an
input overload occurs.
3. Vocalize into the mic. If the SHIFT button is lit up in
red, set the Input select switch to MIC1.
4. To return to the normal state, hold down the SHIFT
button and press the SHORT RIBBON button once
again.
5. Select a vocoder program.
See page 96 "Voice Name List"
6. While vocalizing into the mic, play the keyboard.
To hear different vocoder effects, try vocalizing in
different ways and changing the chord you play.
Tip: Some vocoder programs will produce sound when
you simply play the keyboard; there's no need to vocalize
into the mic.

Modifying the sound

To make your performance more expressive, you can
modify the sounds of the RK-100S 2 by using the short
ribbon controller, the long ribbon controller, and also by
how you play the keyboard.
Try out various ways to play each program you select.
Using the keyboard to modify the
sound -
Velocity
The effect will vary depending on the amount of force
that you use to play the keys. Normally, the force of your
strike will affect the tone or volume.
Tip: During a performance, the eight favorites buttons
(A–H) light up like a level meter, according to the keyboard
velocity.
The RK-100S 2's keyboard does not support
aftertouch.
