VOCODER VC340
VOCODER VC340 Controls
(EN) Step 2: Controls
Keyboard
The keyboard split is marked in two places,
depending on the setting of the Low/High
Octave switch.
(1) HIGH – this is the keyboard split position
when the Octave switch is set to HIGH.
(2) LOW – this is the keyboard split position
when the Octave switch is set to LOW.
Upper Left Section
(3) POWER LED – this LED will turn on when the
unit is connected to a live AC power supply
and the rear panel power switch is on.
(4) PHONES LEVEL – adjust the overall volume
level of the rear panel PHONES output.
To reduce the possibility of hearing damage,
turn this to minimum before putting on
headphones or turning on the unit, and then
bring up to a comfortable listening level.
(5) EXT SYNTH LEVEL – adjust the level of any
audio coming into the rear panel external
synthesizer input. A red LED shows when the
input signal is too high.
Balance Section
These three faders allow you to balance the levels of
the various sources.
(6) DIRECT MIC LEVEL – adjust the level of the
direct microphone vocals, unaffected by
the VOCODER.
(7) HUMAN VOICE LEVEL – adjust the HUMAN
VOICE output level.
(8) STRINGS LEVEL – adjust the STRINGS
output level.
Vibrato Section
The vibrato affects the VOCODER and HUMAN VOICE.
(9) RATE – adjust the frequency of the low
frequency oscillator modulating the VOCODER
and HUMAN VOICE.
DELAY TIME – adjust the delay time before
(10)
the vibrato begins.
DEPTH – adjust the depth or effect of
(11)
the vibrato.
Vocoder Section
This section allows the keyboard to play the
VOCODER, based on the audio input from your
microphone. Adjust the microphone level using
the MIC LEVEL fader, and adjust the TONE and MIC
LEVEL faders carefully to prevent feedback in your
speaker system. The direct microphone signal level
can be added using the DIRECT MIC fader in the
BALANCE section.
TONE – adjusts the tone of the
(12)
VOCODER section.
MIC LEVEL – adjusts the level of the
(13)
microphone signal entering the rear panel
microphone input. A red LED shows when the
incoming mic signal is too high.
LOWER – select this to play the keys below
(14)
the keyboard split.
UPPER – select this to play the keys above the
(15)
keyboard split.
ENSEMBLE – this creates the effect of an
(16)
extensive chorus to the VOCODER. (The UPPER
and/or LOWER switches also have to be on, or
there will be no output.)
Human Voice Section
This section allows the keyboard to play simulations
of the human voice. The level is adjusted using the
HUMAN VOICE fader in the BALANCE section. The 4'
or 8' markings are based upon the traditional length
designations of a drawbar organ (4' is one octave
higher than 8').
LOWER: MALE 8' – select the lower section
(17)
of the keyboard to play a simulation of the
male voice.
LOWER: MALE 4' – select the lower section
(18)
of the keyboard to play a simulation of the
male voice.
UPPER: MALE 8' – select the upper section
(19)
of the keyboard to play a simulation of the
male voice.
UPPER: FEMALE 4' – select the upper section
(20)
of the keyboard to play a simulation of the
female voice.
ENSEMBLE – this creates the effect of an
(21)
extensive chorus to the HUMAN VOICE output.
(The UPPER and/or LOWER switches also have
to be on, or there will be no output.)
ATTACK – adjusts the time it takes for the
(22)
played note in the HUMAN VOICE section to
reach maximum volume. Position 0 gives no
delay, so the sound will reach maximum level
immediately at the key press.
RELEASE – this fader affects the VOCODER,
TIME – adjusts the time it takes for the

data generated by the VOCODER VC340
to other MIDI devices such as an external
synthesizer or a computer equipped with a

(50)
connection to a computer. The VOCODER
VC340 will show up as a class-compliant USB
MIDI device, capable of supporting MIDI in
