Trying Out The Effects - Zoom RFX-1100 Operation Manual

Using the VOCODER Effect
This is a connection example for using the VOCODER effect from the MIX&SFX bank. Connect a dynamic microphone
to the front-panel MIC IN jack on the RFX-1100. Connect a synthesizer or other instrument to the rear-panel INPUT
L/MONO jack. You can then use the mic to vary the envelope (volume change curve) and the sound character of the
VOCODER effect. Instead of the mic, it is also possible to use the right- channel signal for controlling the effect. In this
case, the signal supplied to the INPUT L/MONO jack is controlled by the signal supplied to the INPUT R jack. Verify
that the MIC IN indicator is lit. If not, press the MIC ON/OFF switch so that the indicator comes on.

Using Two Effects in Parallel
The RFX-1100 allows using two effects at the same time (in parallel). This is possible with effects from the EFFECTS
bank which have a double name separated with a slash ("/"). The following illustration shows a connection example for
using two effects independently in the left and right channel.
