After loading a preset, if you move a knob, the knob’s new location will supersede the
presets stored value for that knob. At this point, the PRESET LED will blink rapidly to
indicate that a knob has been moved. If you then turn the knob back to its position, as
saved in the preset, the PRESET LED will stop blinking.
If the PRESET LED is blinking rapidly, when you press the PRESET footswitch, it will re-
load the preset for whichever mode you are currently in.
PRESET UNLOAD PROCEDURE:
A preset can be unloaded to restore the current knob positions so they represent what you
hear. There are two ways to unload a preset, press and release the MODE knob or turn the
MODE knob to another mode. If a frozen sample is saved into a preset, it can be cleared by
holding the MIC BYPASS footswitch without playing the instrument, or by turning the PITCH
knob fully CCW. To erase the frozen sample permanently from the preset, the preset must
be saved again while the frozen sample is cleared.
- CONTROLS, INDICATORS & I/O-
BLEND
This knob sets the mix of dry vocal signal to V256 effect. Fully CCW is 100% dry, you will
hear only your dry vocals. Noon is an even mix of dry vocal and effect signal. Fully CW is
100% wet, you will only hear the V256 effect.
The BLEND knob also controls the mix of instrument signal to vocoder effect on the INST
output jack. To set the INST output mix hold down the MIC BYPASS footswitch and turn the
BLEND knob. Fully CCW will be 100% instrument signal or MIDI controlled internal
synthesizer. Noon will be an even mix of dry instrument and effect signal. Fully CW will be
100% effect signal. From the factory, the INST output jack is set for 100% dry signal. The
V256 will remember your last setting of the INST mix control through all modes. Each preset
can save a different setting.
BANDS
In all modes EXCEPT TRANSPOSITION, INSTRUMENT CTRL, and REFLEX-TUNE the BANDS
knob sets the number of bands for the vocoder. Fully CCW is 8 bands for a more lo-fi gritty
sound. Center position is 256 bands with no vocal resonance, for a smooth vocoder sound. As
the knob is turned CW from noon, the V256 will add filtered resonance from the vocal pitch
into the 256 bands. This adds complexity to the vocoder sounds as some bands are
accentuated by the vocal pitch.
