Setting the Input and Output levels

Input Level

With a microphone or line level source connected to ACCESS, sing or play back a track. Bring
up the input level until the level LED lights orange. Too much input level, and the LED will be
red. Too little input level, and the LED will only light green, never lighting orange.  If there are
momentary flickers of red, your signal level will remain clean. 

Output Level

The only level setting you need to do on the output is with the output level switch on the back
panel of ACCESS. This allows you to match ACCESS’ output to the sensitivity of your mixer
input. When the switch is pushed in (-10dBu) ACCESS is operating at line level. When the
switch is out (+4dBu) then ACCESS will produce a higher level.

note: generally this can be set at +4, but if your mixer is distorting, ACCESS’ output level
should be reduced to -10dBu.

Loading Presets

The Vocalist ACCESS contains 50 factory presets. To select a preset use Data Entry Knob to
scroll through presets. The presets are loaded automatically as you scroll through them. Edited
presets can be saved over top of factory presets as user presets. See ‘Storing Presets’ for further
details. The LCD display shows preset information in the following way:

The first two characters tell you the preset number

This shows the harmony control mode as either; Double, Scale, Chord or Notes. See
‘Harmony Control Modes’ for more information on page 10.

Following the Harmony Control Mode, information particular to the Harmony Control
Mode of the preset is shown.

Storing Presets

This is very simple. Anytime you make a change to a parameter which is stored by preset (levels,
rev., scale, voicing, etc.) the Store Button will light. If you want to write these changes to memo-
ry follow these steps:
