Vocal Partner/Vocal Eliminator/Multiplex features
The VOCAL button can switch between three modes:
Operations
Talk Over
Making an announcement during playback
To make an announcement during music playback, you most likely will want the music at a
low enough volume so that you can be heard over the music clearly. To do this, you use the
TALK OVER function(pg 9, #9) when the toggle is set to ON, the music volume is lowered
considerably to allow for the announcement. When done with the announcement, you switch
the toggle back to OFF to return the music back to the level it was originally. If you make
several announcements, and want to avoid Talk Over On/Off switching, use the AUTO mode.
When in AUTO mode, the music volume level will automatically lower whenever there is mic
activity during an announcement and return when the announcement is over.
Note: Talk Over only works with Mic 1. If you try to use it when speaking into Mic 2, 3 or 4, it
will not work. Mic 1 is reserved as the KJ/DJ Mic.
1. MULTIPLEX - With Multiplex media, music and lead vocals
are panned hard left and right. With the first press of this
button, the red MULTIPLEX LED is lit, indicating that lead
vocals have been removed. This feature is also known as
VOCAL CANCEL. The channel with music only is duplicated so
it is heard in both left and right channels.
Some backing vocals
will remain if there is overlap in the way they are recorded.
2. VOCAL PARTNER - Pressed two more times, the VOCAL
button will illuminate the yellow LED to indicate VOCAL
PARTNER and “guide” or “lead” vocals will be activated. In this mode, the vocal layer will be
cancelled only as long there is Mic activity present. When there is no Mic/Line activity present,
the vocal layer appears for continuity. In other words, while you are singing, the vocal layer is
cancelled, and when you are not singing, the vocal layer is output. This mode is commonly used
when a solo singer wants to simulate a duet, with the KJ-7808RV as the “partner.”
3.
VOCAL ELIMINATOR - Press the VOCAL button until the center, green LED illuminates. With
standard recordings, you will be able to partially remove lead vocals to turn any recording into
a Karaoke performance or for remixing possibilities. It is not possible for such an effect to
entirely remove vocals from a recording because it operates by selecting certain frequencies
that best represent the vocal range in the center of a mix. Naturally, this removes other tones
in these frequencies with it. To return to regular disc playback, press this button until all three
LEDs are unlit.
