Reinitialization:
The user presets are programmed just as the factory presets and, once edited, can be returned to their
original state by powering up the Vocal 100 with both the Store and Mono/Stereo buttons held down. The
display will read F.r, indicating that the user presets were restored to original factory settings.
CAUTION: All previously defined user presets will be lost when this is done.
The stored presets simultaneously select two things: compression status and an effects selection. The
compression status will be indicated by the Enabled LED in compression block. Any preset can utilize the
compressor as long as it is selected and stored in the desired condition. Each one of these effects is fully
programmable, and can be tailored for each preset. Some even allow selection of alternate effects types
(Chorus/Flange/Phaser and Distortion/Exciter, for example). This system allows for tonal flexibility and many
sonic possibilities. For a complete description of each effect and its parameters, see the section entitled
Individual Effects/Parameters on page 11.
After setting the preamp controls to your liking by following the quick start example, use the parameter ▲ or
▼ buttons to move through the presets. The footswitches can also be used to select the various presets. The
footswitch includes bank ▲ or ▼ buttons, an A/B button that selects between A and b patches, and a Bypass
button that overrides the A/B setting. One important difference in using the footswitches, however, is that
unlike the parameter buttons, the footswitch will not scroll from user presets to factory presets or vice versa.
If the unit is not on a user preset, you must first select the user set via the parameter buttons. This allows the
user to wrap around through the user presets (from 9.b back to 0.A), which is the most typical application of
footswitch use.
At any time, the Anolog Compressor (COMP.) button can be used to enable/disable the compressor. This can
be very useful when verifying the actual effect that the compressor has on your signal. If you change to
another preset without storing a change in compressor status, the preset will revert to its origional status.
EDIT MODE
Getting Into Edit Mode:
Editing presets and parameters on the Vocal 100 is quite simple. After using the parameter ▲ or ▼ buttons
to select the preset you wish to edit, the next step in editing presets on the Vocal 100 is to put the effects
system into Edit mode. This is accomplished by pressing either the ▲ or FX EDIT button. After you do so,
the Distortion/Exciter LED will start to blink. To discard the edited changes at any time during the editing
process, simply press Play or change the preset using the footswitch.
Selecting Effects to Edit:
For the purpose of demonstrating this, we will edit preset 4.A. It currently contains a delay, phaser, exciter,
and a digital EQ. Add a pitch shift, delete the delay, and select a different EQ. Use the parameter ▲ or ▼
buttons to select preset 4.A.
Select the effect you wish to add, delete, or edit using the FX EDIT button. As you press the FX EDIT
buttons, are pressed, the vertical column of LEDs will show which parameter is being edited, while the lower
row of LEDs will show which effect is being edited. As you scroll through the various effects, the main LED
display will indicate whether the effect is “on” or “oF” (off). Use the FX EDIT button to select pitch shift.
Use the parameter ▲ or ▼ buttons to turn the pitch shift effect on.
