In this mode the BANDS knob controls how fast the pitch changes. At noon, the pitch will
change instantly. As the knob is turned CW the instrument controlled pitch will slide to new
notes more slowly. As the knob is turned CCW, the instrument controlled pitch changes will
slow in the same manner and in addition the original dry vocal notes will change more slowly.
When the external instrument falls below the threshold setting and the V256 reverts back to
the singer’s original vocal performance, as the singer changes pitch, notes will slide to one
another with a portamento effect.
A MIDI keyboard or sequencer can be used as the control instrument allowing you to play or
automate the notes you want to replace your vocal notes.
REFLEX-TUNE
In this mode the V256 works as an automatic pitch corrector and will quantize the dry vocal
pitch to nearest note depending on the scale and key set by the user. When the PITCH knob
is fully CCW, and there is no external instrument being played, the V256 will quantize to a
chromatic scale. If there is an external instrument being played, the V256 will determine the
key based on the chords being played and will quantize to the determined key in a diatonic
scale. To revert back to the chromatic scale, turn the PITCH knob to noon and back to fully
CCW. When the V256 is in chromatic mode, only the REFLEX-TUNE LED will be lit.
As the PITCH knob is turned CW, a different combination of LEDs will light depending on the
position of the PITCH knob. The combination of LEDs indicates the diatonic key scale setting
for the V256. The table in the “controls” section, under “PITCH” explains which keys are
represented by the LEDs.
The BANDS knob controls how fast the pitch changes from one quantized note to another.
Fully CCW is the slowest change and creates the most natural sounding performance. At noon
the quantized notes are changed instantaneously with no vibrato, creating the most dramatic
effect. At fully CW the note changes are still abrupt but more of the original vibrato is let
through.
