VOCODER HOLD PEDAL
A footswitch connected to the rear panel VOCODER
HOLD input, will allow you to engage/disengage
the VOCODER:
25.
As you sing and play, press and hold
the footswitch at any time to hear your
VOCODER vocals.
26.
Release the footswitch to turn off the vocals.
USING THE VOCODER WITH AN EXTERNAL SYNTH
Your vocals can be affected by the incoming audio
from an external synthesizer and not by the internal
VOCODER circuitry. The VOCODER UPPER/LOWER
switches have no effect.
1.
Connect the line-level audio output from an
external synthesizer to the rear panel EXT
SYNTH input.
2.
Play the synthesizer and adjust the EXT
SYNTH INPUT LEVEL fader so the red LED next
to this fader does not come on.
3.
Sing/talk and adjust the MIC LEVEL fader in
the VOCODER section, so the red LED next to
this fader does not come on.
4.
As you play the keyboard and sing/talk,
you will hear the vocals affected by the
synthesizer audio.
PITCH SHIFT
The pitch of the played notes can be shifted
automatically, manually, or selected using a pedal
connected to the rear panel pitch control connector.
Use the AUTO/OFF/MANUAL switch and the other
nearby controls to select how PITCH SHIFT works:
AUTOMATIC
Notes and vocals will automatically increase
in pitch.
Use the PITCH SET knob to adjust the pitch. In
automatic mode, the pitch increases to the
maximum, which is if this knob was at H. So, if the
knob is already on H, then no pitch shift occurs. If it
is on L, then maximum pitch shift occurs.
Use the TIME knob to adjust the time it takes for the
pitch shift to occur.
OFF/EXT CONTROL
In this position, there will be no pitch shift unless
you are using an optional external footswitch
connected to the rear panel PITCH SHIFT connector.
If the footswitch is held down, then the pitch shift
will occur, with settings and controls just like the
AUTOMATIC position described above. Release the
footswitch to stop pitch shift occurring.
MANUAL
Use the DOWN/NORMAL fader to easily shift the
pitch while you play.
Use the PITCH SHIFT knob to set the fader's pitch
range. For example: Knob on H - fader movement
has no effect. Knob on L - fader will allow maximum
pitch shift. (The TIME knob has no effect in
MANUAL mode).
