Creating Special Effects

By combining multiple blocks in VoicePro with different Mix
routings, it’s possible to create limitless Special FX. These
Special FX can be useful in finding a hook for a bridge or
chorus of a song. Some Special FX can be low in the mix.
Other Special FX are meant to be the same level as the
dry voice.

How to load a Special FX preset

1. Navigate to the browser and set the Source Filter to

“Singing” and the Application Filter to “Special FX”, then
select a preset using the Scrol Wheel and Ok Button.

Tips for designing Special FX presets
• Mix: experiment with using “Pre” for FX sends and
turning off the Dry, VirtuaLead and Harmony levels.

• FX Routing: try routing an FX send signal itonto µMod.
Then route µMod into Delay, and Delay in Reverb.

• Modulated Noise: select a Transducer Noise Style. Set
the routing to VirtuaLead. Then set the VirtuaLead µMod
send to pre and set the VirtuaLead level to “off”.

• Harmony: create a custom scale in “Scale” mode where
each note is assigned to the same note. This creates
interesting monophonic voices.
