Electro-Harmonix V256 Vocoder Manual page 3

8. The factory setting for the INST output of the V256 is 100% dry instrument signal only.
In order to use the V256 in this mode the INST output blend needs to be adjusted.
9. Hold down the MIC BYPASS footswitch and adjust the BLEND knob. Fully CCW is 100%
instrument signal. As you turn the knob CW more V256 effect signal is added and at
noon, the mix of dry instrument to V256 effect will be even. As you continue to turn the
knob CW past noon, the dry instrument level will decrease and at fully CW the mix will
be 100% V256 effect.
10. After the BLEND knob is adjusted for the desired mix, release the MIC BYPASS
footswitch and the instrument output mix will be set. If the MIC BYPASS is not held
down, moving the blend knob will make no difference to the INST output mix.
BASIC VOCODER SETTINGS
1. Now that the V256 is hooked up and ready to go, here is a sample setting to get started.
2. Turn the MODE knob until the mode VOX-ROBO 1 is selected and set the other
parameters as follows:
-BLEND
-BANDS
-TONE
-GENDER
-PITCH
3. Press and release the MIC BYPASS footswitch so that the effect is now ON and the LED
is lit.
4. Play the instrument and sing into the microphone at the same time. You will now hear
your voice modulating the sound of the carrier instrument.
5. To use the internal synthesizer, turn the PITCH knob to noon.
6. Sing into the microphone and you will hear your voice modulate the robotic synth.
7. These basic settings also apply to the single, major, and minor drone modes.
BASIC VOCAL TRANSPOSITION SETTINGS
1. Turn the MODE knob until the mode TRANSPOSITION is selected and set the other
parameters as follows:
-BLEND
-BANDS
-TONE
-GENDER
-PITCH
2. In this setting the vocal transposition will be at unity. Using the XLR output, turn BLEND
to noon for a subtle double tracking effect.
3. Adjust the GENDER BENDER knob to hear a more male or female version of your voice.
4. Turn the PITCH knob fully CW to hear 1 octave up, and fully CCW to hear 1 octave
down.
