-
Adjust the HUMAN VOICE ATTACK fader as desired.
-
Adjust the RELEASE fader as mentioned in the STRINGS section above.
-
Adjust the three VIBRATO faders to add modulation to the HUMAN VOICE if desired. These faders also affect the VOCODER.
ADDING DIRECT MICROPHONE -
Turn on your microphone and sing along or talk. This is the direct vocals, with no added VOCODER.
-
Adjust the MIC LEVEL fader in the VOCODER section, making sure that the level is not high enough for the adjacent red LED to come on.
-
Adjust the DIRECT MIC fader in the BALANCE section, and adjust the STRINGS and HUMAN VOICE fader as desired.
USING THE VOCODER -
Turn on the UPPER and LOWER VOCODER switches.
-
Turn on your microphone and sing along or talk.
-
Turn down the DIRECT MIC fader, and the STRINGS and HUMAN VOICE faders.
-
Adjust the MIC LEVEL fader in the VOCODER section, making sure that the level is not high enough for the adjacent red LED to come on.
-
As you play the keyboard and sing/talk, you will hear the VOCODER output. (There will be no output if you are not singing or talking while playing, or if the MIC LEVEL is down.
-
Try using the ENSEMBLE.
-
Adjust the VOCODER TONE fader, and re-adjust the MIC LEVEL as desired, to prevent feedback from your speakers.
-
Adjust the three VIBRATO faders to add modulation to the VOCODER if desired. These faders also affect the HUMAN VOICE.
-

VOCODER HOLD PEDAL
A footswitch connected to the rear panel VOCODER HOLD input, will allow you to engage/disengage the VOCODER: -
As you sing and play, press and hold the footswitch at any time to hear your VOCODER vocals.
-
Release the footswitch to turn off the vocal
USING THE VOCODER WITH AN EXTERNAL SYNTH
Your vocals can be affected by the incoming audio from an external synthesizer
and not by the internaVOCODER circuitry. The VOCODER UPPER/LOWER switches have
no effect.
- Connect the line-level audio output from an external synthesizer to the rear panel EXT SYNTH input.
- Play the synthesizer and adjust the EXT SYNTH INPUT LEVEL fader so the red LED neto this fader does not come on.
- Sing/talk and adjust the MIC LEVEL fader in the VOCODER section, so the red LED next to this fader does not come on.
- As you play the keyboard and sing/talk, you will hear the vocals affected by the synthesizer audio.
PITCH SHIFT
The pitch of the played notes can be shifted automatically, manually, or
selected using a pedal connected to the rear panel pitch control connections
the AUTO/OFF/MANUAL switch and the other nearby controls to select how to
PITCH SHIFT works:
AUTOMATIC
Notes and vocals will automatically increase in pitch.
Use the PITCH SET knob to adjust the pitch. In automatic mode, the pitch
increases to the maximum, which is if this knob was at H. So, if the knob is
already on H, then no pitch shift occurs. If it’s on L, then a maximum pitch
shift occurs.
Use the TIME knob to adjust the time it takes for the pitch shift to occur.
OFF/EXT CONTROL
In this position, there will be no pitch shift unless you are using an
optional external footswitch connected to the rear panel PITCH SHIFT connector
the footswitch is held down, then the pitch shift will occur, with settings
and controls just like the AUTOMATIC position described above. Release the
footswitch to stop pitch shift from occurring.
MANUAL
Use the DOWN/NORMAL fader to easily shift the pitch while you play.
Use the PITCH SHIFT knob to set the fader’s pitch range. For example Knob on H
– fader movement has no effect. The knob on L – fader will allow maximum pitch
shift. (The TIME knob has no effect in MANUAL mode).

VOCODER VC340 Special Modes
VELOCITY
The keyboard velocity can be set to a fixed value or a value that varies
dynamically with how hard the keys are struck. The following procedure shows
how to change the velocity:
-
Turn off the Power.
-
Hold down both ENSEMBLE switches while turning on the power.
-
If all the LEDs blink fast, then the current velocity is a fixed value (127). The loudness of the notes will not change if the keys are
pressed soft or hard. -
If all the LEDs blink slowly, then the current velocity will vary dynamically. The loudness of the notes will vary if the keys are pressed
soft or hard. -
Release the two ENSEMBLE switches and the VC340 will save the current setting.
-
To change to the other setting, repeat steps 1 and 2.
MIDI Channel
The MIDI transmit and receive channel numbers can be selected from 1 to 16,
using the following procedure:
-
Turn off the Power.
-
Hold down both the STRINGS section UPPER and LOWER switches, while turning on the power.
-
All LEDs should flash 3 times fast, showing that the VC340 is in its MIDI channel setting mode.
-
Release the STRINGS switches.
-
To first set the MIDI RX channel, set the OCTAVE switch to HIGH.
-
The 8 VOCODER and HUMAN VOICE switches are used to select the channel numbers as follows:
-
If the STRINGS LOWER switch is selected, the 8 switches represent channel numbers 1 to 8.
-
If the STRINGS UPPER switch is selected, the 8 switches represent channel numbers 9 to 16.
-
Select the required channel number.
-
To set the MIDI RX channel to ALL, press and hold both ENSEMBLE switches. (This is only available in RX, so the VC340 can receive incoming MIDI from all channels.)
