English Version
Prod No.: 606131011
VoiceWorksPlus can be thought of as a rack full of
vocal processing in one single rackspace unit with a
couple of specialty effects thrown in for good measure.
The specialty effects, vocal harmony and modeling,
offer you the advantages of:
- Producing rich harmony vocals and doubling from
one voice during live performance
- Saving time when recording vocal harmonies
- Changing the characteristics of your singing voice
with modeling to create interesting vocal hooks
and effects
The remaining processing blocks, including the
multieffects, dynamics and EQ add to your list of
advantages allowing you to :
- Make your live performances sound more like a
fully-produced CD
- Make your recordings sound more professional
- Save time preparing for mixes or performances by
using factory presets and settings
See the diagram at right for a rough algorithmic path
overview.
PRODUCT OVERVIEW
4
FRONT PANEL DESCRIPTIONS
1. Power Switch
Press to turn the unit on or off.As the unit shuts down,
it saves any setup data you may have changed.
2.Alphanumeric LED display
This 15 segment LED display shows the current preset
number whenever the EDIT and SETUP buttons are
not lit. There are dots on the bottom line indicating
whether the current preset is in the Factory or User
bank. The legend below the display indicates which dot
represents which bank. When you press the EDIT or
SETUP buttons, this display shows a letter and a
number making up the address of the current edit
screen.
3. Metering LED displays
There are several conditions indicated by these LEDs
and they are described in the following paragraphs.
Output Clip
This LED will light showing the output of the product
has clipped due to internal level overload, possibly
causing audible distortion. This LED can light even
though the Input Clip LED has not. This is because
VoiceWorksPlus has effect blocks such as Harmony for
example, that can potentially add significant level to the
input signal.
Input Clip
Steady flickering of this LED with audio input shows
that the level of the signal received at the input to
VoiceWorksPlus is too high given the input sensitivity
setting. To correct this, reduce the send level to
VoiceWorksPlus from the upstream mixer or enter the
Setup menu to reduce the LineSens (Line input
sensitivity).
Input LED Stack
These LEDs allow you to gauge how much level to
send to VoiceWorksPlus from your mixer. They use
PPM (Peak Program Meter) weighting which is a way to
view signal level when using digital processors. The
range shows logarithmic steps down from 0 dB which
is the maximum allowable level. It's important to adjust
the send level from your mixer within the proper range
shown by these meters. Sending too little audio signal
level contributes to noise buildup and unsatisfactory
performance of the voice algorithms. Too much input
signal level causes distortion. If your mixer is sending
its maximum level and these meters show insufficient
level, or vice versa, you can adjust the Input Sensitivity
setting by pressing the SETUP button and entering the
Setup menu.
MIDI IN indicator LED
This will light to confirm the MIDI data is received by
VoiceWorksPlus on the correct MIDI channel. To
ensure that it will respond correctly to the incoming
data, check to see that both your sending device and
VoiceWorksPlus are set to the same MIDI channel.
4. Main LCD display
During normal operation (none of the EDIT, SETUP or
STORE buttons are pressed), this display shows the
name of the current preset on the top line and the
main harmony or modeling parameter values on the
lower line. A slight turn of any of the soft knobs will
change the display to show master mix levels. While
the mix levels are shown, the four soft knobs allow
editing of the mix.After a few seconds the display will
revert to preset name. After the EDIT, SETUP or
STORE buttons have been pressed, this display shows
up to four editing parameters on the top line and their
associated values on the bottom. After a parameter
value has been changed, an asterisk (*) will be shown
to the left of the name when you return to normal
operation. This is to warn that you will lose any
changes should you recall another preset unless it is
saved first.

5. Soft knobs overview
During normal operation these controls act as a mixer,
allowing you to quickly modify the global mix levels
without entering an edit menu. Moving any of the
knobs will momentarily switch the LCD display so that
it shows the levels before reverting to the preset name
and the information line.When either the EDIT, SETUP
or STORE buttons have been pressed, the soft knobs
control up to four editing functions from left to right
in the editing menus.
Global LEAD LEVEL control
This adjusts the level of the "Lead" voice. This path is
called Lead because it has no Harmony or Modeling
processing applied. Note that this path may have Pitch
Correction enabled if the Correction switch from the
upper switch group is lit.
Global HARMONY / MODEL LEVEL control
Adjusts the overall level of any harmony voices that are
turned on or the level of the modeled voice depending
on which configuration is chosen in the current preset.
Make sure the Harmony / Model switch above this
knob is lit or this control will have no effect.
Global FX LEVEL control
Adjusts the master level of the Mod , Delay, Reverb
and Transducer effects blocks for all presets. The
individual effects blocks have their own level
adjustment controls which may be turned down
preventing you hearing them when you turn the FX
Level control. Make sure the FX switch above this knob
is lit or the FX Level control will have no effect.
Global OUTPUT LEVEL control
This control raises, lowers or mutes the master output
of VoiceWorksPlus.
6. Block On/Off button group
These 3 buttons allow selective muting of blocks in
each preset to simplify editing.
HARMONY / MODEL button
When this LED is lit, the current preset is configured
to produce harmony or a modeling effect. You can
press this button to disable the current effect and see
what other effects are enabled in the preset.
CORRECTION button
This button allows you to quickly disable pitch
correction when needed.If this button is off in a preset,
turning it on will enable pitch correction with default
settings which may or may not be optimum for your
purpose. In this case you can edit the settings in the
Edit menu at location C0.
FX button
If the FX (effects) button is lit, pressing it will mute all
signal from the Mod, Delay and Reverb blocks . The
Transducer effect will not be muted. If this button is
not lit in a preset, pressing it will patch in a default
effects setting.
7. Mode Button Group
EDIT button
Press this button to enter and exit the preset Edit
menu. All settings relating to the current preset only
are accessed here. The last edit screen you accessed
with the Data Wheel is remembered to reduce time
required to locate specific edit menus.
SETUP button
Press this button to access all of the global audio
settings, MIDI functions, the EQ and Dynamics
processors and preset backup and restore. Press again
to return to recalling presets.

FRONT PANEL DESCRIPTIONS
Chapter Overview
A brief intoduction to Pitch correction is discussed in
the Quick Start chapter.This Pitch Correction chapter
provides more detail on usage and the editing menus
for this feature.
Setting expectations
Will I sound like (insert talented singer here) by just
using pitch correction? This question is best answered
by saying that it can make good singing sound better.
Using pitch correction in real time (live, as opposed to
studio editing) can help your pitch performance most
transparently when:
o the key and scale are set correctly
o you are singing well
o the parameter values are set to reasonable values
You should be aware that the pitch correction effect
may be very subtle even when it’s working perfectly.
How is Correction applied?
Pitch correction works differently in harmony presets
and modeling presets.
In harmony presets, your dry voice can have pitch
correction applied which in turn feeds the corrected
pitch to the harmonies.You can think of this as having
an additional pitch correction device inserted between
your mic and your harmony processor.
In modeling presets, it is only the modeled voice that
can have pitch correction applied. While there is the
possibility of mixing in your dry voice alongside the
corrected modeling voice, your dry voice will not be
corrected. This was done for pitch differentation
between your modeled and dry voice paths to allow
you to create interesting doubling and duet effects.
Can I add pitch correction to an
existing preset?
If you like the sound of a particular harmony or
modeling preset and you want to add this feature,
follow the directions discussed in the Editing Overview
chapter under the heading “How to add pitch
correction to a preset”.
Pitch Correction Menus CO to C2
All correction parameters except the front panel
Correction On/Off button are located in these three
menus.
C0: Correction Key and Scale
Set the key and scale here to match your song. The
scale options include:
o Major
o Minor-Har (harmonic minor)
o Minor-Nat (natural minor)
o Minor-Asc (ascending melodic minor)
o Chro (chromatic)
o Custom
The active scale notes of these scales is shown in menu
C2 for the current key you have set.The Custom scale
allows you to determine exactly which notes you want
corrected.
If your song changes key or modulates you will likely
need to change key in one of the following ways:
o For live performance, you can create two user
presets with the only difference being the
correction key and scale.
o In the studio, you can browse to menu C0 and
make the change manually.
C1: Correction parameters
When you first turn to this menu, the upper line briefly
shows the names of the three parameters before
switching automatically to the correction meter. This
display will revert to the parameter names anytime a
value is adjusted.
The meter shows the amount of correction generated
by VoiceWorksPlus. Extension to the right shows your
input is flat according to the key and scale you’ve set
and the correction algorithm is nudging you sharp to
compensate. Extension to the left indicates that your
input pitch is sharp and the correction is pulling you
flatter. If any of the three pitch correction values are 0,
no meter swing or pitch correction will occur.
Wndow (Correction Window) is the setting in cents
where you determine how close to a valid scale note
you have to be before the algorithm acts to pull you in.
For example, a value of 80 cents means that only when
you are singing within plus or minus 40 cents from the
target scale note will you be corrected.The maximum
