Turning On the Power

To prevent malfunction and/or damage to speakers or
other devices, always turn down the volume, and turn off
the power on all devices before making any connections.
1. Before hooking anything up, make sure that the
power on all of your gear is turned OFF.
2. Connect the V-Synth to your amp/speaker
system.
3. On the V-Synth's rear panel, set the INPUT
GAIN switch to MIC.
4. Connect your mic to the V-Synth's rear panel
INPUT R jack.
If you're playing a patch whose patch algorithm (p. 7) is
Processor Type 1 or Processor Type 2, connect your
external device to the V-Synth's rear panel INPUT L jack.
If you connect a mic and a line-level device at the same
time, use the controls of your external device to adjust the
input level.
5. Switch on the mic or power up the external
device that you've connected to the V-Synth's
rear panel INPUT jack.
6. After correctly inserting the VC-2 card into the
PC CARD slot in the V-Synth's rear panel,
switch ON the POWER switch.
When the system has started up successfully, the top
screen of Patch mode will appear. The display shows the
selected Patch.
Carefully insert the VC-2 card all the way in—until it is
firmly in place.

This unit is equipped with a protection circuit. A brief
interval (a few seconds) after power up is required before
the unit will operate normally.
Always make sure to have the volume level turned down
before switching on power. Even with the volume all the
way down, you may still hear some sound when the
power is switched on, but this is normal, and does not
indicate a malfunction.
Never insert or pull out while the VC-2 (V-Synth) is
turned on.
7. Turn on the power for any connected amplifiers
or speakers.
