Presetting the Gain-Control:
Easy-Mode:
The Gain-control allows you to determine the input sensitivity of the built-in microphone pre-
amplifier. The control is located on the right of the rear panel of the Sirius. Turn the Gain-control to
the middle setting (12 o´clock position).
If you have connected the Sirius to an audio-unit such as a stereo system or instrument amplifier,
turn the volume control of your amplifier to minimum for the time being.
The Vocoder works with 16 basic programmes which can of course be changed if required. To get a
first impression these basic programmes can be tried first. The microphone is the analyse source in
this "Easy-Mode". A Carrier is automatically set you only have to speak into the microphone and
don´t have to press any keys on the keyboard.
You require some pre-settings for the Easy-Mode. Should you however have initialised your Sirius as
described at the beginning of this Manual and select a Song without Vocoder-settings (for example
Nr.1 "Saturn") you can leave out the following procedure. Skip on to "Selecting Basic Programmes".
1. The CARRIER-EXT.-key in the VOCODER-panel of the Sirius must be switched off.
2. No Part of the Sirius must be selected as Carrier. You will recognise that the CARRIER-key in the
Vocoder-panel is not lit. If the key is lit, you can change the setting as follows: When you hold down
the CARRIER-key, the Part-keys under the dials in the MIXER-panel will show you which Parts are se-
lected as Carriers. A lit key indicates that this part is a Carrier for the Vocoder. While you still hold
down the CARRIER-key turn off all lit keys below the dials one after the other. Now you have de-
activated all internal Carrier signals.
To select the basic programme 1 "Robot Voc" (Robot-Vocals), first hold down the Vocoder-key in the
MIXER-panel. The display will show:
