VoicePrism User Manual

UTILITY BUTTON

The

UTILITY

button gives you access to menus relating to the different VoicePrism

utilities. This is where you set your MIDI channels, configure your footswitch, adjust

your LCD contrast, modify your audio parameters and much more.

MIDI CONFIGURATION

This menu tab is where you can set your basic MIDI preferences with the softknobs.

MIDI CHAN

(1-16): set the MIDI In channel VoicePrism will “listen” to for keyboard

and preset input. Initially defaults to MIDI channel 1.

SYSEX FILTER

(Off/On): activates the SysEx filter. Turning the SysEx filter

will cause

VoicePrism to ignore any incoming MIDI SysEx messages.

BEND RANGE

(None - ±12 semitones): Sets how high or low your voice will be shifted

when moving the pitch bend wheel on your keyboard.

PREFERENCES

Here is where you can configure your VoicePrism to your own personal taste.

LCD CONTRAST

(1-8): Increasing the setting with the softknob increases the level of

contrast.

CHORDS MODE

(Latch/Moment): For presets using the chordal harmony mode, if you

want harmony notes only when MIDI notes are being received, select moment

(momentary). Selecting latch allows harmonies to continue after MIDI notes end.

PREVIEW MODE

(Cue/Demo): Select

DEMO

if you want to put VoicePrism through its

paces with a stored audio file when you press the

PREVIEW

button. We created this

function so you can hear VoicePrism do its thing without having to sing in front of

an entire storeful of people. Selecting

CUE

will cause VoicePrism to give you a cue

note for the selected preset when you press the

PREVIEW

button.

BYPASS MODE

(Stage/Studio): Chose

STAGE

, and your dry input will be at the same vol-

ume level as your wet (processed) sound (when the

LEVEL KNOBS

are at unity

gain). When VoicePrism is bypassed with the

STUDIO

setting you will get the best quali-

ty dry output possible. CAUTION: There is a significant volume increase between

STUDIO

and

STAGE

settings.
