STVC Quickstart

 

r

 

The expression pedal won't have any effect unless it 
is assigned to a destination in the Tweak menu.  

The 

Line

  input  can  be  used  as  a  line  signal  input  for  an 

external vocoder speech or carrier signal. 

r

 

In  the  System  settings,  you  can  define  if  the  Line 
input works as speech or carrier signal input. If set 
to Off, it works as Expression pedal input. 

A  sustain  pedal  switch  connected  to  the 

Sustain

  input

 

enables you to hold played notes as long as you press the 
pedal. 

The USB Connection 

The USB connection of the STVC allows: 

 

Power  supply  via  USB  when  connected  to  a  suitable 

computer 

 

Power supply via the USB power supply 

 

Transmitting and receiving MIDI data 

 

Dumping of firmware updates to the STVC 

r

 

Make sure that you use a USB 2 port on your compu-
ter and a USB 2 compatible cable to avoid problems 
with data transmission.  

The 

USB

  port  connects  the  STVC  to  your  computer  with 

the following system requirements: 

 

Windows PC: Windows 7 or newer, a USB 2 port 

 

Apple:  Intel  Mac  with  macOS  10.9  or  newer,  a  USB  2 

port 

MIDI In/Out Jacks 

Although we can hardly believe it, the STVC might not be 
enough  for  some  people,  so  we  added  an  elegant  way  to 
control  external  sound  modules  with  the  STVC  keyboard: 
just  connect  the  DIN  MIDI  out

 

to  your  external  gear  and 

play.  For  use  with  a  computer  we  recommend  the 

USB

 

port.
