Controls

The T3k uses three knobs and a SELECT button to allow you to easily select and adjust many di erent parameters.

To select a mode, either voice, input, LEDacle or e ect, hold down the SELECT button and turn the knob to the 
desired location.
The mode will not change unless you turn the knob a little. Not all the modes are changed when SELECT is held 
down, just the one you are turning. This means you might have to turn the knob away and back to a desired location 
if you’re already on top of it.

The BLEEP button activates the sound. The button is in toggle mode by default. Push it to turn on, push it again to 
turn o  the noise.
This can be changed to momentary triggering by holding down SELECT and pushing BLEEP.

The EYE switch changes what the photocell eyeball is controlling.
FREQ – The eye is controlling the frequency of the sound. This is the standard way to use the T3k
ADJ – The eye is controlling the adjustment of the voice mode. The frequency is controlled by the mode knob.
FX- The eye is controlling the adjustment of the e ect mode. The frequency is controlled by the e ect knob.

The RANGE switch changes the range of the photocell eye.

The OPTION button on top allows you change the input and output modes. More on that here.

The VOLUME POT on the top left controls the volume and switches the device o  when turned all the way to the 
left.
