Vocal Harmonizer function

The Vocal Harmonizer is another major highlight of your DisCover 5. In fact, it doesn’t just produce harmonies: it

can also transform your voice in various ways. More importantly, its sound quality surpasses by far anything you

may already have tried.

Setting up

Here’s what you need to do to take advantage of

the Vocal Harmonizer function:

(1) Switch off your amp and the DisCover 5 (in

that order).

(2) Connect a dynamic microphone to the MIC

INPUT jack on the DisCover 5’s rear panel.

(3) Set the [GAIN] switch to “MIC”.

You can also connect the (mono) output of

other instruments, a CD player, etc.

In that case, you need to set [GAIN] to “LINE”.

(4) Set the [MIC≈GAIN] knob on the front panel to

“MIN”.

Note: If you like, you can connect the Vocal Harmonizer

OUTPUT sockets to another amp (or additional mixer

channels).

(5) Switch on the DisCover 5 and your amp (in

that order).

(6) Press the [SINGER] button (it must light) and

switch off the [VOCODER], [SMALL] or

[ENSEMBLE] button.

(7) Sing into the microphone and gradually

increase the [MIC≈GAIN] setting.

Set it to the highest possible value, taking care

to avoid that the OVER indicator lights. It would

be best to sing at the level you will be using

during your performances.

(8) If your singing is inaudible in the speakers

connected to the amp (or the headphones),

turn the [VOICE] knob towards the right

(towards “MAX”).

Note: If a howling sound (a.k.a. “feedback”) is produced,

your microphone may be pointed at a speaker. Try to

orient it differently, or slightly reduce the [VOICE] set-

ting.

(9) Use the [EFFECTS] knob to set the balance

between your original singing and the effects

that are added to your voice.

Note: You can start song playback and sing to it. See

“Playing back songs” (p. 16) and “Minus One” (p. 19) for

details.

Your DisCover 5 provides a Compressor effect

you might want to set up now. The Compressor

reduces volume peaks and thus “levels out” dif-

ferences in the microphone signal.

The Gate effect, on the other hand can be used

to avoid that background noises cause the

Vocal Harmonizer, etc., to start working even

though you are not singing.

These two effects are located immediately

behind the MIC INPUT socket and thus applied

to the microphone signal before it is processed

by the Vocal Harmonizer section.

(10) Press the [MIXER/EFFECT] button.
