OVERVIEW
This "getting started" guide will help you set up
the VOCODER VC340 analog synthesizer and briefly
introduce its capabilities.
CONNECTION
To connect the VOCODER VC340 to your system,
please consult the hook-up guide earlier in this
document
SOFTWARE SETUP
The VOCODER VC340 is a USB Class Compliant MIDI
device, and so no driver installation is required, and
it does not require any additional drivers to work
with Windows and MacOS.
HARDWARE SETUP
1.
Make all the connections in your system.

Apply power to the VOCODER VC340 using the
supplied IEC power cord only.
3.
Make sure the main volume knob is turned
down and that your amplifiers or powered
speakers are turned off.
4.
Turn on the rear panel power switch, and
then turn on the rest of your system.
UPPER/LOWER
The keyboard split has two positions marked
HIGH and LOW on the top panel, and this depends
upon the setting of the HIGH/LOW octave switch.
Any UPPER switches ON will allow the keys above the
split to play. Any LOWER switches ON will allow the
keys below to play.
