Adjusting The Mic Expression Sensitivity - Roland VP-550 Owner's Manual

Adjusting the mic expression sensitivity

Vocal Designer setting
You can adjust the depth to which changes in mic input
loudness aff ect Vocal Designer's expression (dynamics) over
a range of six steps.
Higher dynamics settings give Vocal Designer a greater
range between loud and soft sounds, which gives you more
expressive power but also means that you must control the
mic more accurately with the loudness of your voices.
Lower dynamics settings give Vocal Designer a narrower
range of volume change, meaning that you will obtain a
stable volume even if there are changes in the loudness of
your voice, making it easier for you to sing.
1.
While holding down [MIC ON/OFF], press
one of the Vocal Designer sound buttons.
The six levels of the dynamics setting correspond
to the numbers (1–6) marked on the buttons in the
illustration. Higher numbers mean greater dynam-
ics (default: 4).
2.
The sound button you pressed will blink, and all of the other sound buttons will light.
This completes the setting. This setting will be remembered even when you turn off the power.
*
Don't power-off the VP-550 during this process. Doing so may cause a malfunction.
3.
To check the current setting, hold down [MIC ON/OFF] for one second or longer.
The sound button corresponding to the current setting will blink, and the remaining sound buttons will light.
You can also press a sound button at this time to change the setting.

Voice Expression setting
You can adjust the sensitivity at which the Voice Expression
eff ect will begin applying in response to changes in mic
input loudness over a range of six steps.
Higher sensitivity settings mean that the Voice Expression
eff ect will begin applying even when your voice is still at a
low loudness level.
Lower sensitivity settings mean that the Voice Expression
eff ect will begin applying only when your voice reaches a
fairly high loudness level. You'll fi nd it easier to control Voice
Expression if you set this to a sensitivity that's appropriate
for your singing voice.
1.
While holding down [MIC ON/OFF], press
one of the Ensemble sound buttons.
