User manual PEAVEY EQUINOX

[. . . ] If your instrument is installed with a SCSI interface, you can save any user programmed data to an external SCSI device. STEP 1 With the instrument turned OFF, insert the Generalmusic Operating System disk into the disk drive. STEP 2 You will see a message in the instrument display screen that says: Loading OS-DISK clears ALL MEMORY!! [. . . ] The screen should show something like this, even if you shout into the mic: Once you have set your Gain to the correct level, you're ready to sing or play through the Equinox and/or use the Vocal Processor features. If you're going to sing or play through the Equinox, you can regulate some of the parameters which intervene on the Mic/Line signals on their way to the internal effects processors and main mix (functions In1 and In2). You can also adjust some EQ settings for the Mic signal (EQUAL function). The parameters associated to the IN1, IN2 and EQUAL functions are discussed further ahead. Let's first examine the Vocal Processor feature. Vocal Processor 5 Understanding the Vocal Processor The first thing to be sure about is what the Vocal Processor actually does. Quite simply, it harmonizes the mic signal (your voice) up to 4 times, depending on how many notes you play on the keyboard; one note, one harmonized voice. In Vocoder mode, the pitch of the harmonized voices depend on the pitch of the notes played on the keyboard. In Unison mode, the mic signal is doubled up to 4 times at the same pitch, without having to play on the keyboard. Each voice has an independent Volume and Pan control and an on/off switch. There's also a general Voice Edit with LFO, Pitch envelope and Transpose controls. The easiest way to learn about how to use the Vocal Processor is to try an example. Let's try and listen to our voice harmonized 4 times without other background sounds. In Performance mode, the track whose note data is used by the Vocal Processor to duplicate the voices (the Vocoder track) corresponds to track 1, but you can assign this track to any Performance part (syn 1-16). If you want to use the Sequencer, you can assign the Vocoder Track to one of the 16 sequencer tracks (seq 1-16). Example 1. [. . . ] Filter Type: Applies one of the following filters to the signal: Low Pass, High Pass, Band Pass, Parametric Boost, Parametric Cut. Resonance: A filter control which affects the signal's tonal character by introducing complex harmonic overtones. Cut-Off: Another filter control, usually used combined with Resonance, which "opens" and "closes" the filter to change the tonal character of the signal. [. . . ]
