Changing the Function of the Output L/R Jacks (Output Mode)
You can specify whether the output L/R jacks will output a conventional stereo signal, or whether the L-jack will output only the
Human Voice/Vocal Designer/Vocoder sound while the R-jack outputs only the direct sound.
Normally, the VP-7 is set so that L/R will output a conventional stereo signal when it starts up.

Changing the function of the output L/R jacks
1. While holding down the [Vocoder] button, turn on the power.
When the power turns on, all of the Level indicators will blink twice, and then the VP-7 will start up. In this state, the R-jack will
output only the direct sound.
* This mode setting is discarded when you turn o the power.
* If you’ve selected the Output Mode, the [Ambience] knob will not function.
* Use your external mixer or other device to adjust the volume balance between the direct sound and the Vocal Designer
sound.
* When a Vocal Designer sound is selected, you can use the [Harmony] knob to adjust the volume of the sound that’s at the
same pitch as the direct sound from the microphone.
* When you turn Bypass on, only the Human Voice/Vocal Designer/Vocoder sound will disappear.
Changing the Pitch Bend Range (Bend Range)
The VP-7 allows you to apply pitch bend from a MIDI-connected keyboard.
You can change the pitch bend range (the maximum range of pitch change) over a range of seven steps: 1, 2, 4, 5, 7, 8, or 12
semitones. Changes you make in this value are stored in the unit.
Changing the pitch bend range
1. Press the [Bypass] button and the [Vocoder] button.
Both buttons will blink.
2. Press one of the sound buttons to specify the desired pitch bend
range.
3. Press the [Bypass] button or the [Vocoder] button.
The VP-7 will return to its normal state.
* Pitch bend will not be applied to the Vocal Designer sound that’s at the
same pitch as the direct sound from the microphone.
