There are several other control modes
available in the IVL Vocal Studio. Manual Mode
and SmartChord Mode require a MIDI input
from a keyboard or sequencer to operate. Pitch
Shift Mode allows you to set a chromatic
interval between the lead vocal and the
harmony voices to create true parallel
harmonies. In addition, there is another
operating mode called Pitch Correct, which you
can use to fix out-of-tune vocal parts. More
information is provided in Appendix E in the
Digital 8•Bus Owner's Manual, and in the IVL
Vocal Studio Owner's Manual which you
receive when you purchase the IVL Vocal
Studio software.
Using External Effects
We've built in the most common effects
packages that you're likely to use for

jacks for channels 1–12 (only). This is a TRS
jack specially configured as a combination
analog Send/Return connection point (Tip =
Send, Ring = Return, Sleeve = Ground). With
nothing plugged into the INSERT jack, the
send signal is directly connected to the return
pin via the normalling jack.

Digital 8•Bus has a total of 12 aux sends that
can be used for effects or monitors. The first
eight aux sends are routed to the internal
effects cards as well as the AUX OUT jacks.
You can use an internal effect and its
corresponding aux send simultaneously.
However, you can choose not to use an internal
effect by leaving its associated FX Return
control (Fader Bank 3) turned down (or turn
the PLUG-INS off in the Fat Channel). The Aux
