DigiTech VOCALISTWEX User Manual

The Key & Harmony channel allows you to select different keys or
chords (depending on the harmony type) and any of the eight different
harmony styles assigned to a program via MIDI.
The 4 MIDI Channel Vocoder setting allows each of the four individual
voices to have its own channel when using the Ò4MIDÓ Vocoder style
within any Vocoder program. Assigning each voice its own MIDI chan-
nel and using the program stops Òvoice swappingÓ which causes voices
panned in the stereo field to switch positions. If you run in mono, or
stereo mode and you donÕt mind the voice swapping, you can use a
Ò4MIDÓ Vocoder style on the same MIDI channel as the system.
The 4 channel Vocoder mode also allows you to use separate pitch bend-
ing on each of the four voices.
Voice one in 4 channel Vocoder mode is always the same as the System
& Vocoder channel. The remaining three voices are set independently.
