Level Knobs
These three knobs let you adjust the mix being sent from the Vocalist
®
Live 4 to the P.A. or
mixer. The mix includes your lead vocal, the harmony vocals, and your guitar signal.
Turn a knob clockwise to increase its respective level, or counterclockwise to decrease its level.
Effects Matrix
This table lists the effects you can add to a preset (listed in the left column), and the parameters
you can adjust for each effect (listed in the columns below the Parameter knobs).
For descriptions of the effects and their parameters, see page 14.
musIQ
TM
Button
Press this button to turn automatic key detection on or off. When this button is lit and harmo-
nies are active, the Vocalist Live 4 determines the proper key based on the guitar chords being
played. When this button is not lit, active harmonies are produced in the key shown in the Key
Display (selected with the Key Up/Down and Major/Minor buttons).
Key Display, Key Up/Down Buttons, and Major/Minor Button
When the musIQ button is not lit, you can select the key in which harmonies will be produced.
Use the Key Up/Down buttons to select a key (C - B), and press the Major/Minor button to
cycle through major and minor modes for the selected key.
Effects Footswitch
This footswitch turns some or all effects in a preset on or off. It does not affect the harmonies.
While effects can be turned on or off and adjusted individually within a preset, the EFFECTS
footswitch activates or deactivates some or all of them simultaneously.
When the LED above the EFFECTS footswitch is illuminated, the effects are on. When the
LED is turned off, the effects are turned off.
Note that when the Vocalist Live 4 ships from the factory, the EFFECTS footswitch is config-
ured to turn ALL effects (Preamp, Comp/Gate, EQ, Pitch Correction, Lead Effects, Reverberation,
Delay, Guitar Mix) on or off, but you can select which effects are turned on or off via the FX
Footswitch Control setting in the Utility parameters. For example, you can configure the EF-
FECTS footswitch to turn all effects on or off, or all effects except distortion, or all effects
except reverb. See the Utility Parameters menu on page 23 for more information.
Harmony Footswitch
This footswitch turns the harmonies on or off. While multiple harmonies can be selected within
a preset, the HARMONY footswitch activates or deactivates any selected harmonies simulta-
neously.
When the LED above the HARMONY footswitch is illuminated, the harmonies are on. When
the LED is turned off, the harmonies are turned off.
Guitar Tuner
Since the Vocalist Live 4 relies on accurate incoming notes to generate its harmony voicings, it is
imperative that your guitar be in tune. The integrated digital tuner of the Vocalist Live 4 makes
tuning your guitar fast and easy.
To activate the guitar tuner, simply press and hold the EFFECTS footswitch until the display
reads TUNER. Tune each string until a star (*) without arrows (>> or <<) appears in the center
of the display for each string, indicating it’s in tune. The note being played appears in the Key
display. The built-in guitar tuner works optimally with a strong guitar signal, so don’t turn down
your guitar to tune. The guitar output will automatically be muted when you’re in tuner mode.
