Tip: The Vocalist
®
Live 4 “remembers” about 30 seconds of music while you play to determine
the proper harmonies. Entering and exiting the tuner clears this memory. This can be useful
when you’re switching between songs with radically different chord progressions.
Mono and Stereo
You can output the lead vocal and harmonies in either mono or stereo. To use a mono signal,
press the Stereo/Mono button so the Stereo Out LED is not lit, and connect the Line Out
Left or Left/Mono Out XLR output to your P.A.
To use a stereo signal, press the Stereo/Mono button so the Stereo Out LED is lit, and con-
nect both XLR or Line outputs to your P.A.
Regarding External Effects Pedals
Do not hook up any other effects pedals to your guitar prior to plugging it into the Vocalist Live
4, as this could affect vocal harmony generation. The only thing between your guitar and the
Vocalist Live 4 should be the guitar cable. Use the Guitar Thru to connect your effects and
stomp boxes.
Setting Levels on the Vocalist

Live 4
Setting the Vocal Level
It is recommended you set your vocal level by adjusting the Mic/Line Input Level knob on the
rear panel so that the Vocal Signal LED is amber during loud vocal sections and only briefly
turns red on the very loudest vocal sections. The Vocalist
®
Live 4 will normally prevent the vo-
cal harmonies from clipping, even when the LED is red, but for optimum voice quality the LED
should turn red only briefly or not at all.
Once the overall vocal level is set with the Mic/Line Input Level knob, you can increase or
decrease the amount of lead vocals in the mix with the Vocal Level knob. You can increase or
decrease the amount of harmonies in the mix with the Harmony Level knob.
Setting the Guitar Level
Ideally the Guitar Signal LED should be green or amber while playing. Most electric and
acoustic/electric guitars send their signal at a level appropriate for the Vocalist Live 4. If you have
a volume control on your guitar (for example, an acoustic guitar with a pre-amp built in), you
should adjust the volume so that the Guitar Signal LED is green or amber most of the time
while playing.
Some older guitars send a very low signal. If your guitar doesn’t send a strong enough signal
to turn the Guitar Signal LED green, try setting the Guitar Sensitivity (located in the Utility
Parameters, see page 23) to gtrsens hi.
Once the guitar level is set with your guitar’s volume control, you can adjust how much guitar is
heard in the mix with the Guitar Level knob.
