Quick Start Guide

7. Stereo vocals and MIDI keyboard
VoiceLive 3 is not a synthesizer and cannot con vert MIDI note messages to audio. The MIDI con nection is only used for NaturalPlay chord detec tion and other control
data. You will still need to connect your keyboard to the PA or an amplifi er for it to be heard!
VOICELIVE 3
P.A
Let’s get going!
Make all connections as seen in “Making connections” (page 10).
Before you power up VoiceLive 3, make sure that the amplifi er or PA it is
connected to is muted or turned all the way down!
Press the POWER switch on the back of the unit.
Booting will take a few seconds – so it is nor mal if you see a
blank screen for a short while.
Auto Gain
The easiest way to set the input levels for your microphone and guitar is to press
and hold the Setup button.
You will see a series of on-screen instructions. When you are done, gain settings
will be opti mized for your microphone and guitar.
You should only have to use Auto Gain once. There is no need to go through this
procedure each time you power on the unit.
If you have a condenser, MP-75, or e835FX mic, this is a good time to enable it.
Follow the in structions printed on the bottom of your Voice Live 3.
Setting input gain on your mixer
While singing and playing at your loudest vol ume, slowly turn up the input gain/
trim knobs of the mixer channels your VoiceLive 3 is con nected to. When the clip
indicator on your mixer lights up, reduce input gain/trim slightly.
For additional information on input trim, please refer to your PA or mixer’s
instruction manual. If you need a bit more guidance, check out this “Craig’s
Corner” video explaining mixer setup:

Time to have some fun!
It’s time to hear what your VoiceLive 3 really can do! Set the VoiceLive 3 channel
faders on your mixer to 0 or “Unity”, whichever applies.
Slowly turn up the master/main volume on your PA/Mixer (and on your guitar
amp if you are hooked up to one).
If you encounter feedback, turn the master vol ume down until it goes away.

Explore the sounds
The best way to get an idea of your VoiceLive 3’s potential is to browse the
presets. The factory presets have tons of great sounds, so we sug gest you carve
out a little time to go through and listen to them.
To browse presets, press the footswitches with the up and down arrows
on the far left.
Note which presets you enjoy the most – you can use them as a starting point for
creating your own presets later.
VoiceLive 3 for acoustic guitar players
VoiceLive 3 comes with pristine reverbs, mod ulation eff ects, EQs and delays to
make your acoustic guitar sound better than it ever has. However, you may not
want heavy overdrive or radical fl anging applied to the output of your
handmade masterpiece…
If you have a nice eff ects setup for your acous tic guitar that you want to use for
all your songs, press SETUP, go to the SYSTEM tab and set ALL GUITAR FX GLOBAL
to ON. This will “lock” the guitar eff ects so they won’t change when you
switch presets.
Sing and play!
