Section 6: Detailed Parameter Descriptions

UTILITY | System

This tab configures the functions related to bypass, latency,
and preset change. Below are descriptions of the various
parameters:

Bypass Mode

This parameter configures the functionality of the Bypass
Button. There are four options:

"Default" bypasses all the processing in VoicePro. Dry
Lead is routed to both left and right outputs

"Default with EQ & Comp" is the same as "default" mode
except Dynamics & EQ are left on.

"Harmony Mute" this is a harmony performance mode
where the harmony voices are turned on and off.

"Digital Wire" bypasses the voice input to the left
analog/digital 1 output, and the aux input to the right
analog/digital 2 output. This mode is useful when VoicePro
is being used for analog to digital conversion.

Key/Scale/Chord

When using the harmony block, musical information is
provided in the form of chords, key, and scale to produce
intelligent results. The Key/Scale/Chord Parameter
configures whether that information is set globally or by
preset.

Preset Change

There are two modes of Preset Change in VoicePro.
"Immediate" triggers preset changes when the Select/Scroll
knob is used on the Home Page. "Preview" requires the
OK Button to be pressed to load the selected preset.

Latency Mode

VoicePro contains several latency modes. These modes
affect the VirtuaLead path. The "Nominal" setting gives the
best quality. Lower latencies are useful for performing live
or monitoring applications. The latency of the VirtuaLead,
Dry Lead, and Harmonies are shown in the visualization
area.

Dry Delay

When Dry Delay is set to "None" the Dry Lead is outputed
as fast as the system allows. When "Harmony Sync" is
selected, the Dry Lead is delayed to synchronize with the
Harmony Processing.

Tuning Reference

All the Pitch and Harmony Parameters related to shifting
the pitch of the voice input are tuned to this reference.
A440 Hz is the default reference. Use this parameter for
tuning VoicePro in a situation where the reference tuning of
instruments is sharp or flat.
