Introduction Congratulations and thank you for purchasing the DigiTech Talker. This unique product features IVL Technology's Advanced Vocal Synthesis which came about through research into physical modeling of the human voice. A radical new break-through in digital signal processing, the Talker actually allows an instrument and a voice to be combined to create expressive effects.
Control Descriptions: FRONT PANEL • Mic. In: adjusts the microphone input level. • Instrument In: adjusts the instrument input level. • Effect Out: controls the effect amount to the outputs. Note: The above controls have no effect on Bypass levels. • Program LEDs: indicate which Program the Talker is set to. • Mic Clip LED: An LED flashing green with occasional orange means your input is set properly; red indicates distortion.
Talker Setup Connect Talker to your system. • Connect your microphone to the balanced XLR Mic In jack and select the -10 dBV or +4dBV setting with the Pad switch. Note: Many mics work at the -10 dBV setting. • Connect your instrument to the unbalanced 1/4" Instrument In jack. • Connect the unbalanced 1/4" Amp Output to your favorite guitar/instrument amplifier. • Optional: Connect an XLR cable from PA to your mixer or PA amplifier. • Select the Effect Routing switch to Amp, P.A.
Program Descriptions: • NuVo: This is the most intelligible program. Play a chord and speak or sing into the mic and you will be able to hear the words clearly. • NuWah: (Guitar effect only, no vocal needed). This is an automatic wah feature that is somewhat like an envelope follower but the wah is very human sounding. • TazMania: (Use instrument and mic, or mic alone). This program uses white noise to generate a devilish voice.
