[. . . ] Headphone Output The stereo main mix is supplied to this 1/8" TRS Headphone Output. Guitar Thru The guitar signal received on the Guitar In is passed through the ¼" unbalanced Guitar Thru to connect to the guitar effects or amplifier. 7 7. Guitar In This ¼" unbalanced Guitar In connects directly to the guitar for use by musIQ® Guitar Mode harmony generation. Note: It is important for the VL3D to be the first device in the guitar signal chain to ensure proper analysis of the guitar signal for harmony generation. Ground Lift Switch This switch lifts the Guitar In and Guitar Thru ground references to eliminate any noise hum issues that may arise from system ground loops. Line Out (L & R) These ¼" balanced TRS / unbalanced TS Line outputs provide a stereo mix of Lead Vocal and Harmony Voices. Use only the Left Line output when a mono mix is needed. Footswitch This ¼" TRS input is for an optional three-button footswitch such as the DigiTech FS3X or FS300. Line In This ¼" balanced TRS / unbalanced TS input accepts a line level signal supplying the Lead Vocal. Note: When the Line In input is connected, do not connect anything to the Mic In input. Mic In This balanced XLR input accepts microphone level signals. If the Guitar Signal Strength indicator does not light when you play, the guitar signal level may be too low and the Guitar Sensitivity should be changed to Hi. If the Guitar Signal Strength indicator lights red, then the Guitar Sensitivity should be changed to Lo. To set the Guitar Sensitivity hold the Tuner button until the new Guitar Sensitivity setting of Hi or Lo is displayed. The most common setting is Lo Guitar Sensitivity. Tuner It is important for your guitar to be properly tuned in order for the musIQ® technology to generate the best sounding harmonies. Alternate tunings (for example, DADGAD or tuning down) are fine, as long as the built-in tuner shows each string as in tune. If you are using an external tuner, make sure that the reference is set to 440 Hz. To use the built-in tuner, press the Tuner button to start the Guitar Tuner. The Tuner button will flash while the Tuner mode is active. Note that for the Tuner to work properly it needs to receive adequate guitar signal strength, which is indicated by the Guitar Signal Strength indicator. As each string is individually played, the closest note to that played will appear on the Display and the Tuner Bars will show the deviation in pitch from the target note. If the string is in tune with the target note, the green center Tuner Bar will be lit. [. . . ] The Tuner Bars provide a visual indication of the Split Point and zones. Each of the Tuner Bars represents an octave with the green center being middle C. In the figure above, the Split Point is E in the octave starting at Middle C and the VL3D is processing all MIDI notes in the active zone below the Split Point. To clear the current split point simply press the + or ­ key. 20 1-Channel and 4-Channel MIDI Mode This parameter provides two options for controlling the harmony voices in MIDI Notes Harmony Mode.
