HOOKUP DIAGRAM

AUXILLIARY

send and stereo return method

This is the most common hookup method. It
allows you to control levels and muting of the
effect at the console. One singer’s voice can
be received at the input due to the
requirements of the pitch detection algorithm. 

This method also allows a separate aux send
from your console to share VoiceDoubler’s
µMod processor through the Auxilliary input.
Any audio type can be received at this input as
opposed to the single-voice-only audio
requirement of the Voice input. 

Ensure that the DryVoice setting in edit screen
S1 is turned Off.

INSERT

send and stereo return method

This connection allows you to engage the
VoiceDoubler’s internal dry path (Edit screen
S1) and optional dry delay compensation (S2)
through VoiceDoubler for enhanced time
realism. This setup is also excellent for digital
recording. See page 14 for more discussion of
the Delay Compensation feature.

The Delay Compensation feature is normally
intended for recording use, where individual
tracks can be advanced in time, but it can also
be used in live performance if the delay is
acceptable.

In this scheme, ensure that the lead voice
channel is muted in the console’s main buss to
prevent flanging as the two dry paths (one
from the channel and one from VoiceDoubler)
mix.

There are two primary connection schemes when using VoiceDoubler: as an aux send processor
and as an insert processor. The diagram and discussion below details the differences.
