[. . . ] VoiceDoubler Automatic Vocal Doubling and Overdub Tool USER'S MANUAL IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS The lightning flash with an arrowhead symbol within an equilateral triangle, is intended to alert the user to the presence of uninsulated "dangerous voltage" within the product's enclosure that may be of sufficient magnitude to constitute a risk of electric shock to persons. Do not install near any heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other apparatus (including amplifiers) that produce heat. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized or grounding-type plug. If the provided plug does not fit into your outlet, consult an electrician for replacement of the obsolete outlet. [. . . ] The Input Clip LED shows when the signal has clipped, not that it is near clipping. Raise returns Raise your channel faders and you should hear VoiceDoubler's effect on the input audio. By default, the dry path through VoiceDoubler is muted and most of the presets are designed to be mixed with an external dry signal. Accordingly, raise the dry level on your console if it's not already done. If you hear a flanged dry signal when you raise the level on your console, press EDIT, cycle to screen S1 and turn the DryVoice parameter Off. If you hear nothing, check that the input is not set to Digital in edit screen S3. Tweak the preset values The four EDIT knobs on the front panel allow master trimming of the various facets of the overdub effect in the current preset. The range of values for the TIMING and PITCH controls is Off, -49 to -1, Nominal, +1 to +49, Max. "Nominal" represents the midpoint at which many presets were created. Numbers above the nominal setting increase the associated parameter settings to 50% more. The OVERDUB and µMOD control the levels of those blocks respectively; they range from 60 (Off) to 0dB. Audition presets Turn the data wheel to preview the name of the other presets and press RECALL to load any you prefer. The individual parameters are discussed in more detail in the Detailed Edit Descriptions following this Quickstart. Store your edited preset Press the Store button to save your edits to the next free location in the User preset bank. 10 DETAILED EDIT DESCRIPTIONS Introduction: The following paragraphs describe each parameter in the Edit menu in detail. The parameters are accessed by pressing the EDIT button and scrolling up and down with the Data wheel. The EDIT knobs correspond to the parameters shown in the LCD from left to right. Many screens display two parameters and these are accessed by the left two knobs. Each description will be listed by its address in the LED display e. g. Ensure that the master control associated with the effect block you are editing is turned up. These are the front panel TIMING, PITCH, OVERDUB LEVEL, µMOD LEVEL controls accessed by pressing the RECALL button. Overdub Group O0 Overdub Levels - This screen allows you to vary the balance and mute the four overdub voices. At 0 dB, each voice is the same level as the internal dry path if it is activated. O4 Overdub Correct - This feature retunes any voices set to values above 0 to a chromatic scale. A value of 100 percent introduces a stepped pitch from a gliding pitch input. [. . . ] To increase the sensitivity when compensating for a low send level from your mixer, turn the EDIT 1 knob clockwise and the opposite to pad VoiceDoubler's input when sent an extra hot signal from your mixer. The OutRange parameter is used to preserve unity gain from input to output when the Input Sensitivity setting has been adjusted. Optimally, setting both values the same will ensure unity gain. S1 Dry Voice and Output - This left setting in this screen allows you to add or remove the dry voice from the outputs. Turning the dry voice on is useful when connecting VoiceDoubler as a channel insert. [. . . ]
