Tip: 

 The Vocalist

®

 Live 4 “remembers” about 30 seconds of music while you play to determine 

the proper harmonies. Entering and exiting the tuner clears this memory. This can be useful 

when you’re switching between songs with radically different chord progressions. 

Mono and Stereo

You can output the lead vocal and harmonies in either mono or stereo.  To use a mono signal, 

press the 

Stereo/Mono

 button so the Stereo Out LED is not lit, and connect the 

Line Out

 

Left 

or 

Left/Mono Out XLR

 output to your P.A.  

To use a stereo signal, press the 

Stereo/Mono 

button so the 

Stereo Out LED

 is lit, and con-

nect both XLR or Line outputs to your P.A.

Regarding External Effects Pedals

Do not hook up any other effects pedals to your guitar prior to plugging it into the Vocalist Live 

4, as this could affect vocal harmony generation. The only thing between your guitar and the 

Vocalist Live 4 should be the guitar cable. Use the 

Guitar Thru

 to connect your effects and 

stomp boxes. 

Setting Levels on the Vocalist

®

 Live 4

Setting the Vocal Level

It is recommended you set your vocal level by adjusting the 

Mic/Line Input Level

 knob on the 

rear panel so that the 

Vocal Signal

 

LED

 is amber during loud vocal sections and only briefly 

turns red on the very loudest vocal sections.  The Vocalist

®

 Live 4 will normally prevent the vo-

cal harmonies from clipping, even when the LED is red, but for optimum voice quality the LED 

should turn red only briefly or not at all.

Once the overall vocal level is set with the 

Mic/Line Input

 

Level 

knob,  you can increase or 

decrease the amount of lead vocals in the mix with the 

Vocal Level

 knob. You can increase or 

decrease the amount of harmonies in the mix with the 

Harmony Level

 knob.

Setting the Guitar Level

Ideally the 

Guitar Signal

 

LED

 should be green or amber while playing.  Most electric and 

acoustic/electric guitars send their signal at a level appropriate for the Vocalist Live 4.  If you have 

a volume control on your guitar (for example, an acoustic guitar with a pre-amp built in), you 

should adjust the volume so that the 

Guitar Signal

 

LED

 is green or amber most of the time 

while playing.

Some older guitars send a very low signal. If your guitar doesn’t send a strong enough signal 

to turn the 

Guitar Signal LED

 green, try setting the Guitar Sensitivity (located in the Utility 

Parameters, see page 23) to 

gtrsens hi

.

Once the guitar level is set with your guitar’s volume control, you can adjust how much guitar is 

heard in the mix with the 

Guitar Level

 knob.
