USER INTERFACE

FRONT PANEL

1

1

Power Switch: this turns VoicePrism On/Off as indicated by front panel illumination. When turned

Off, the VoicePrism is not completely disconnected from the mains. VoicePrism starts up with your

last settings and preset.

Tab Arrows: these scroll forward or back one menu page or preset. You’ll find them especially

useful for navigating the multi-page menus.

Softknobs: the softknob names and current settings are displayed on the LCD; they will

change depending on your menu. Turning the softknobs will modify their settings. Pushing

the softknob until it clicks will access the softknob submenu (if available). In the softknob

submenu, twisting the associated softknob will scroll you through the list of parameters --

clicking again selects the highlighted parameter and kicks you out of the submenu. In the

top level preset window, clicking the softknobs brings up a shortcut menu of factory preset

configurations.

4 LCD Display: the most informative part of VoicePrism, at the highest level this shows preset

information in addition to the softknob libraries and controls. Elsewhere, the LCD provides

menus where you can view your editable features, particularly the softknob menus (by click-

ing the softknobs) and the softknob settings.

5 Numeric Display: displays the current preset number. A “delta dot” in the bottom right corner

shows that the preset or step sequence has been changed but not saved.

6 Input Indicators: these light up for the following input types.

LOCK

: illuminates to indicate pitch tracking.

MIDI

: lights up when MIDI messages are received.

44.1

: digital input received at 44.1kHz, for use with the upgrade card.

48

: digital input received at 48kHz for use with the upgrade card.

7 Input Level LED Bar: the LED’s illuminate to indicate the input volume level, from -30dB to

0dB. The red Ovf LED illuminates to indicate the level is too high and is being digitally clipped.

Edit Buttons: these 5 buttons jump you directly to your multi-page edit menus. Each button

has its own section later in the manual that describes its menu screens and adjustable

parameters, thus only a very brief description is given here.

VOCALS

: accesses the editing screens for vocals.

EFFECTS

: accesses the editing screens for the two separate post effects blocks.
