Adjusting the Dynamics (Dynamics)

The way in which the Vocal Designer/Vocoder dynamics will respond to changes in the microphone input volume can be ad-

justed over a range of seven levels. Changes you make in this value are stored in the unit.

Decreasing the dynamics effect means that the Vocal Designer/Vocoder will be able to produce a wide range of sounds from 

loud to soft, giving you more expressive range. However, this will require you to accurately control the volume of your voice as 

you sing into the microphone.

Increasing the dynamics effect means that the Vocal Designer/Vocoder sound will vary less in volume, but this will make it easier 

for you to sing, since a stable volume will be obtained even if your voice increases or decreases in volume.

1. 

Press and hold the [Bypass] button for two seconds .

The [Bypass] button will blink.

2. 

Press one of the sound buttons to select the desired dynamic level .

You can choose from seven levels for dynamics, which correspond to the following buttons.

Applying Ambience (Ambience)

You can apply ambience (reverberation) to the direct sound from the microphone and to the Human Voice/Vocal Designer/

Vocoder sound, producing the impression of a performance in a concert hall.

the reverb.
