[. . . ] 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. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 Read these instructions. Install in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions. Do not install near any heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other apparatus (including amplifiers) that produce heat. [. . . ] MIDI I/O This is the standard MIDI in, out and thru interface used for editing, preset control and data storage and recall. Pedal In This input accepts single or triple function footswitches. Any normally-open passive footswitch will work for the single function. Audio safety Lower the channel faders where VoiceDoubler's returns appear. Ensure that the BYPASS button is not lit and play an audio track or sing into the mic routed to VoiceDoubler. Set levels Check VoiceDoubler's level meters for sufficient level or clipping. In and out levels are pre-set for unity gain but if you need to trim them press EDIT and use the wheel to locate screen S0 which shows the parameters InSens (input sensitivity) and OutRange (output range). When both values are the same, there is unity gain from input to output. 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. More information on levels is on page 14. 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. Edit Press the EDIT button and try some edits. [. . . ] Turning the dry voice on is useful when connecting VoiceDoubler as a channel insert. (see the Hookup diagram page 9) Using this connection scheme has the extra benefit of allowing use of the Delay Compensation feature detailed in the next description. 14 This table shows the dry delay in ms at various Time Random (TR column) and Delay Compensation settings. Note: 50* indicates the value of "Centered". S3 Input and Clock - The analog and digital inputs can be used one at a time. [. . . ]
