Typical vocoding setup
If you're connecting an instrument directly to the Metavox, hook it
up this way:
1. Connect a 1/4" phone cord to the [RIGHT INPUT] of the
Metavox from the instrument you want to have vocoded.
Or, you can just use the Metavox's own waveforms as the synthesis input
source.
2. Connect another 1/4" phone cord from the microphone
preamplifier or mixer's direct output to the [LEFT INPUT]
(as shown below).
3. Connect two 1/4" phone cords from the [LEFT] and
[RIGHT OUTPUTS] of the Metavox to two mixer inputs.
4. If you're connecting directly to a stereo mixer, pan the two
channels hard left and hard right to get the maximum effect.
5. To vocode the instrument, set [SYNTHESIS INPUT] to
RIGHT IN = SYNTH. Otherwise, use either the microphone
or the instrument to control the internal oscillator.
