Chorus/Flanger - CC - 1-10

This parameter is used to select the desired parameter to control with MIDI  Settings are as fol-
lows: 1: Modeling Microphone, 2: Microphone Preamp Gain, 3: Compressor Gain, 
4: Chorus/Flanger Speed, 5: Chorus/Flanger Depth, 6: Chorus/Flanger Mix, 7: Delay Time, 
8: Delay Feedback, 9: Delay Input Level and 10: Reverb Mix/Decay.

Delay/Reverb - Delay time - 0-91 (0-1380ms)

This parameter is used to set the delay time of the Delay effect. Delay times range from 0-
1380ms, and are measured in 15ms increments.

Delay/Reverb - Delay Feedback - 0-95

This parameter is used to set the amount feedback in the Delay effect. The delay feedback is
measured in percentages (0-95%) and changes are made in 1% increments.

Delay/Reverb - Delay Mix - 0-99, 1

This parameter is used to set the amount of Delay effect that is mixed with the dry signal.
When set to all wet, no dry signal will be heard.  In a typical multi-track recording situation,
the main vocal signal is recorded dry on to one track. This track will then be re-recorded on
to a second track will the delay set to all wet. During mix-down, the engineer can control the
blend of both tracks in real time. 

Delay/Reverb - Reverb Type - Off, St, rO, CL, PL, HA, AP, CH, gA, Ar and SP

This parameter is used to select the reverb type module.  Types include:

Delay/Reverb - Mix/Decay - 0-99, 1 

The Mix (1) parameter is used to set the amount of Reverb effect that is mixed into the dry
signal. The Decay (2) parameter is used to select the length of the reverb decay.

The following information is provided to get you up and running with basic editing informa-
tion that will help you get the most out of your ProVocal™.

Making Connections

• Turn off all equipment before making any connections.

• Install the ProVocal™ in your rack with the provided rack screws. It is essential that when

the ProVocal™ is being mounted in a rack mounting enclosure, the unit should be positioned
with enough room (at least 1U of space above the unit and 1U of space below the unit) to
allow proper ventilation.  The ProVocal™ should not be mounted above or below anything
that generates excessive heat.  Ambient temperatures should not exceed 113

0

F (45

0

C) when

equipment is in use.  Although the unit is shielded against radio frequency and electromag-
netic interference, extremely high fields of RF and EMI should be avoided where possible.

• Make audio connections via XLR, 1/4” TRS, or 1/4” TS plugs (S/PDIF for digital output). With

the flexibility of the ProVocal™, various connection options are available.  For input connec-
tion, use the XLR Microphone, 1/4” line or 1/4” instrument (front panel) inputs.  For analog
