The lightning flash with arrowpoint in an equilateral triangle means that there are dangerous voltages present within the unit. [. . . ] In order for the Studio Vocalist EX's intelligent Vocoder panning to work correctly, it is often necessary to limit the number of voices available to those required by your harmony part. The layered modes create thickening on single or two part harmonies. The 4 MIDI Channel mode allows individual control of each of the four harmony voices for complete pan position stability and independent pitch bend. Transpose (Vocoder and Pitch Correct only) In Vocoder mode, this feature allows you to transpose your harmonies +/­ 3 octaves. You could use this when you are triggering your Vocoder harmonies from the bottom or top of your keyboard and the untransposed harmonies would be in the wrong octaves. The auto option allows the Studio Vocalist EX to trigger notes in the octave closest to your input note. In Pitch Correct mode, transposing works in conjunction with MIDI or front panel keyboard input. When you sing and press a key, the resulting pitch can be transposed up to 3 octaves up or down for special effects. The auto option works as described above. 28 To edit the harmony style parameters: 1. Use the Data Wheel to select the program you want to edit and press the Edit button. Press the softkey that corresponds to the Harmony parameter. The LCD shows the the current softkey selected by an arrow, its harmony style in quotation marks, and the other softkey assignments. The style display show this key's assignment. The Harmony Type selection screen is displayed. 3. 4. Your choice here affects the order and selection of editing screens because each different harmony type has its own set of parameters. Rather than explaining the location of editing screens in text, what follows is a table showing the screens in the order in which they appear. The Arrow buttons guide you to the next or previous screen, the softkeys select the different editing fields and the Data Wheel is used to change the values.

Level 3: Customizing A Harmony Customizing allows you to determine exactly which notes are produced for any given input note. It is the deepest harmony editing level and it is only available with Chordal, Scalic and Chromatic harmony types. 29 Custom harmony variations are used in the Everlys program and many of the other Scalic harmony programs. These harmony styles are based on a major or minor Scalic harmony that has been edited so that certain input notes produce different harmonies from those in the strict definition of a these scales. Once you have customized a harmony, the Voicing edit screen disappears and is replaced by the Customize Voicing screens. The Customize Voicing screens work differently in that you have all twelve notes of the scale to apply to input notes where you previously could choose only the notes within a major or minor scale for Scalics and notes from a particular chord in Chordal harmonies. The Custom Harmonies screens are as follows: Custom Voicing You have a range of twelve input notes within one octave to assign alternative harmony voicings to. [. . . ] Most songs could benefit from either or both approaches. Depending on the chord changes in the accompaniment, the tight and always moving Scalic harmonies might be better for a catchy chorus where the more stationary and open Chordal harmonies would leave "breathing space" to highlight a lead vocal. It is helpful to experiment with both of these harmony modes in all of the styles of music you enjoy. 60 SPECIFICATIONS Microphone Input Line Input Microphone Input Range Line Input Range Line Outputs Balanced XLR, 1 KOhm impedance, cardoid (directional) type preferred Balanced or unbalanced 1/4" TRS, +4/-10 dB level (switchable), 10 KOhm impedance @ 150 Ohm source impedance: minimum -35 dBu, maximum +1. 5 dBu Balanced input @ 50 Ohm source impedance: maximum +14. 0 dBu Balanced or unbalanced 1/4" TRS, stereo or mono, +4 dBu (can be reduced by trimming Output Level fader) Maximum output level +24 dBu @ . 03% THD Sampling Frequency Response (dry) Signal to Noise Total Harmonic Distortion + Noise Size A/D: 18 bit @ 48 KHz 15 Hz to 20 KHz, +0/-1 dB >95 dB "A" weighted, auto gate engaged <0. 025% 3. 25" H x 19" W x 6. 75" D 83 mm H x 483 mm W x 171 mm D Weight 8. 15 lb. 3. 7 kg.
