Page 7: Phantom Power
First Setup and Use 1. Turn down your PA’s master volume. 2. Connect your mic and PA as shown in the diagram first, then plug in the AC adaptor. For live performance, a USB connection to a computer is not required. 3. Set the style to Tight and the mix control to the center notch. 4. Sing into your mic while adjusting the MIC GAIN control so that the input level LED flashes green. Brief flashes of red on the LED on your loudest singing are ok. 5. E nsure that the effect is on (center LED is lit). 6. Sing while turning up your PA volume to a comfortable level. You can now sing while you sample the different doubling styles and raise and lower the mix. You’re ready to perform! Note that When the effect is on, your dry voice is slightly delayed to align best with the double voices and increase realism for your audience. -

Effect Descriptions Doubling Styles - The following table offers an overview of the different factory styles. # of Voices Humanize Detune Porta Tight Loose Group Detune 0, -12c Thick +/-12c Oct Up 2X +1 Oct 0, -5c Oct Down 2X -1 Oct 0, -5c Shout 2: +/- 1 Oct High 0, -5c High Doubling is mostly used either to highlight a word, phrase or chorus. To use the effect for an entire song, it’s a good idea to use a subtle style (Tight or Detune) or use a more obvious one (Loose, Group) with a less wet mix level. That said, don’t be afraid to go wilder with Octaves or Shout! The Dry/Wet (mix) control - Fully left, only your dry lead voice is heard. At the center notch is a factory-set balance of doubling and dry for each style. -

It is possible (even encouraged!) to use more than one VoiceTone pedal at a time. You will only need to adjust the MIC GAIN control of the first pedal in the chain. On the rest, MIC GAIN should be set to the minimum (fully left) position. The order of the pedals is important. See the following table showing 2, 3 and 4 pedal combinations. 2 Pedals D1 > R1 T1 > D1 C1 > D1 3 Pedals T1 > D1 > R1 T1 > C1 > R1 T1 > C1 T1 > R1 C1 > R1 C1 > D1 > R1 T1 > C1 > R1 4 Pedals T1 > C1 > D1 > R1 The VoiceSupport Application VoiceSupport is your way of getting the most from your TC-Helicon product, as well as letting your product grow with firmware updates. VoiceSupport includes: • Access to firmware updates and new features • Videos, artist profiles, tips & tricks • Registration of your product To access the VoiceSupport application: 1. Download VoiceSupport from www.tc-helicon.com/voicesupport. - Page 10 4. Run VoiceSupport. 5. Read the news, click on tabs and browse the features of the application. Using the Mic Control Feature Mic Control allows you to turn effects on and off from the optional TC-Helicon MP-75 microphone. Push the MIC CONTROL switch in to allow remote on/off control on any or all pedals in a chain. When Mic Control is not desired, ensure the switch is out. Using multiple pedals requires the control signal pass through feature to be enabled on all but the last pedal. To enable or disable this feature, hold the...
- Page 11 Can I use the product on an auxiliary send/return? Yes. You will need balanced XLR to TRS cables to do so. Ensure that the MIC GAIN knob is set to minimum to accept the line level signal from your mixer. Will I need a DI box to connect to a mixer? Why is the product turning the effect on and off by itself? This can happen when you have the MIC CONTROL knob pushed in and you are connected to a mixer with “pseudo balanced” outputs. Unless you are using only the specific TC-Helicon mic with the Mic Control feature, the MIC CONTROL knob should be out.
