Output parameter
Use the Output parameter to set how signals are
sent over the XLR outputs of Play Electric.
Stereo setting
If nothing is connected to GUITAR OUT, both vo-
cal and guitar signals are sent in stereo via these
outputs. If GUITAR OUT is connected, only ste-
reo vocals will be sent.
Mono setting
With the Mono setting, Mono Vocal signals are
sent via the LEFT XLR output.
If GUITAR OUT is connected, Dry vocal signals
(with tone and global pitch correction) are sent
via the LEFT XLR output and vocal effects only
(no dry) are sent via the RIGHT XLR output.
This mode is great if you want to control the
wet/dry balance of your vocal signal at a mixing
board.
If GUITAR OUT is NOT connected, your effected
guitar sounds are added to the LEFT channel,
joining your effected vocal.
Dual Mono setting
If GUITAR OUT is connected, your effected vo-
cal sounds are sent via the LEFT XLR output
and your effected guitar sounds are sent via the
GUITAR OUT. Guitar sounds in the RIGHT XLR
output are muted.
If GUITAR OUT is NOT connected, your effected
vocal sounds are sent via the LEFT XLR output
and your effected guitar sounds are sent via the
RIGHT XLR output.
Vocal Cancel function
The Vocal Cancel function attempts to remove
the vocals from a piece of music.
Off setting
With the Off setting, no processing is performed
on the Aux input signal.
On setting
With the On setting, Play Electric will attempt to
remove lead vocals from a piece of music.
This process can create “Karaoke”-style music
for you to sing along to, including key information
for harmony generation.
The processing capability can vary quite a bit
from song to song, depending on the way the
song was originally mixed.
Lead Mute parameter
Use the Lead Mute parameter to mute the lead
vocal and only output the processed signals.
Off setting
Lead Vocals are routed to the main mix.
On setting
Lead vocals are removed from the main mix.
Out Level parameter
Use the Out Level parameter to toggle between
Mic and Line level output modes. Typically, you
will want to use the Mic level setting – but if you
are not getting enough signal at your mixer or
other destination and you are sure the Mic Input
and Mix Out levels are OK, try the Line setting.
USB Out Level parameter
Use the USB Out Level parameter to adjust the
overall level of the USB output from Play Electric.
Use this parameter to attenuate the signal if your
DAW is receiving a signal that is too loud.
