Mode Knob - Electro-Harmonix V256 Vocoder Manual

In TRANSPOSITION mode the PITCH knob controls the amount of transposition up to +/-1
octave.
In INSTRUMENT CTRL mode the PITCH knob controls the threshold of the instrument
control. When the instrument is above the set threshold the instrument controls the pitch.
When the instrument is below the threshold set by the PITCH knob, the original vocal pitch is
passed through. Fully CW, the last note played persists and the pitch will not change until a
new instrument controlled pitch is provided.
In REFLEX-TUNE mode the PITCH knob controls the key scale used for note quantizing. The
current key setting is displayed using the LED ladder. See the chart below as a guide for
picking the key you want to select. If the PITCH knob is fully CCW notes are quantized to a
chromatic scale. You can also set the key of Reflex Tune using an instrument. Set PITCH to
fully CCW, the V256 will determine the key of the song based on the chords being played by
the instrument, and the corresponding diatonic scale will be used for quantizing. In order to
revert back to the chromatic scale, turn the pitch knob to noon, and back to fully CCW.

MODE KNOB

This is the white knob located in the upper right corner of your V256. The MODE knob is a
rotary encoder enabling the user to scroll through the 9 Modes of the V256. Turn the knob
counter-clockwise to progress down through the modes: from VOX-ROBO 1 to REFLEX-TUNE
mode. Turn the knob clockwise to progress up through the modes: from REFLEX-TUNE to
VOX-ROBO 1 mode.
The MODE knob also has a push switch to save and load presets. To load a preset: turn the
MODE knob to select the desired mode and then give the MODE knob a quick tap. To save a
preset: push down and hold the MODE knob for 3 seconds. You will then see all mode LEDs
blink rapidly. Continue to hold down the MODE knob until the LEDs stop blinking. At this point
the preset is saved and you can let go of the knob. Only one preset is saved per mode and
the preset you save is based on the selected mode.
