sometimes be the lower 4th, depending on

your instrument plays and the note you sing.
The high voice is usually the lower 5th below
the note you sing, but will sometimes be the
lower 6th, again depending on which harmony
is the most appropriate.

Vocoder Mode
Vocoder mode turns the Voice Box into a
256-Band vocoder. Vocoding is an effect that
allows a voice to modulate an instrument or
sound source. The controls have been optimized so that the vocoder is very much plug,
play and sing; the musician does not need to
do much work to create fantastic sounding
vocoder effects. As with most vocoders,
both a vocal signal and an instrument signal
are required to obtain the proper effect.
