THE VoFX QUICK START GUIDEThank you for your purchase of the DOD VoFX vocal processor. Before you begin, read this section so you will be familiar with your VoFX right from the start. The VoFX will quickly become the most important tool you have to make your songs sound like professional studio recordings in any live application. If you are using the VoFX in karaoke applications, you can remove vocals from most ordinary CD's. Be sure to learn more about this feature in the karaoke section located on page 13.

With the VoFX, you have the ability to access several different kinds of effects at the same time. Some types of effects are better suited to a specific style of song. We have already done all the hard work for you and designed effect Programs that have the most popular types of effects grouped together in Banks. A preset can be made up of one or several effects that you access by stepping on any of the preset switches marked 1, 2 or 3. A bank will always have 3 presets in it. There are 10 banks of 3 prrograms (01 through 93) each and you can step through the banks by stepping on the <Bank> switch. It's that simple.

QUICK START1. Input Connection: Insert either a 1/4” or XLR microphone cable2. Output Connection: Run from the Left, Right or stereo outputs to the next device in the audio chain.3. Apply Power: Connect included power supply and power up. 4. Set Input and Output Levels: Set your Input level so the Clip LED occasionally lights. The Output Level should

be set at your desired level. NOW YOUR NOW READY TO ROLL !!!

Factory Program ListFollowing is a list of the factory Programs available in the VoFX. They are divided into 10 banks of three programs. Take a run through all of them to see just what kind of processing horsepower the VoFX has under the hood. And Go ahead and experiment with different settings to dial-in a sound ideal for you.

SECTION 1 - GETTING STARTEDSupplying PowerThe VoFX, is designed to “Plug in and Go”, so connect the included power supply and the VofX will power up and be ready to serve. It is always a good ideas to follow some electrical safety standards, we have listed them below to keep things running smooth.

• Always make sure you have a "clean" power source for connecting tothe VoFX. This means that the AC power line you connect to the VoFXshould be as free from voltage fluctuations and RF interference as possible. In recording environments, "clean" power is also important in preventing AC hum or buzz from getting to tape.

• Use a good quality spike / surge suppressor (also called a power strip).This is an inexpensive solution to all but the most severe AC line conditions.

• Always make sure that your audio lines are as far as possible frompower cables. This will further prevent noise, hum, and stray magnetic fields from entering your signal path. If audio and power lines must run close to each other, try to avoid running them parallelto one another.

Front Panel Controls of the VoFXThis Front and Rear Panel Guide on the following pages, gives you the simple low down on the VoFX and Shows you just what all the Buttons and Lights do.

The front panel of the VoFX is laid out in a simple and straight forward way to makeprogramming as easy as possible. Functions of each section are:

SECTION 2 - PROGRAMMING THE VoFX

The VoFX is designed to be both easy to program and flexible. The structure of an VoFX Program is logical, and it doesn't require a lot of time to master.

To Select Programs in the VoFX:1) After you power up, use the Data wheel to scroll through the Programs. As you scroll, the effect group and footswitch LEDs turn on and off. These LEDs indicate which effects are used in each Program, and which Program in the Bank is selected.

There are 13 effect groupings printed on the front panel of the VoFX. 9 are digital effect groups (delay, reverb, etc.) , and 4 cover the preamp section (compression, Mic Driver, EQ). Each group has its own LED that indicates the status of each group.

If the Effect LED is lit continuously, an effect in the indicated group is active. If the LED is not lit, no effects in the group are active. If the LED is flashing, edit mode is active, and effects in the group can be selected using the Data wheel.

Directly below each vertical group are the <Effect Selector buttons>. These but-tons allow you to select and/or bypass effects in the VoFX. The following things happen when you use the Effect Selector buttons:

• When you select a bypassed effect, its group LED begins flashing and the display shows two dashes, indicating that the effect is selected but bypassed. (Pressing the Select button again activates the effect.)

• When you select an active effect, its group LED begins flashing and the display shows the number of the currently selected effect. (Pressing the button again bypasses the effect.)

When lit, the User LED below the display indicates that the current Program is a User Program. When the LED is not lit, the current Program is a permanent Factory Program.

Using The FootswitchesThe VoFX's pedalboard consists of four footswitches: the far right footswitch is the Bank selector, and the remaining three are Program selectors.

A Bank is a group of three Programs. There are 10 User Banks in the VoFX, each with 3 Programs for a total of 30 User Programs. There are also 30 Factory Programs that can be selected using the Data wheel only. User Programs in any of the Banks can be recalled in one of two ways:

• by pressing the Bank select footswitch, followed by footswitch 1, 2, or 3.

• by turning the Data wheel in Performance mode.

To select Programs using the footswitches:

1) After you power up, the VoFX defaults to Performance mode. Select a Bank by pressing the Bank selector footswitch. The display shows the selected bank number on the left side of the display and a dash on the right. The display might look something like this:

2) Press footswitch 1, 2, or 3. The dash in the display changes to show the number of the Program you selected. The display might look something like this:

NOTE: If a new Program number is not selected within 5 seconds after pressing the Bank select button, the display returns to its previous setting.

Editing ProgramsAs you become more familiar with the VoFX, you may find that you need to modify certain Programs to better fit your needs. Fortunately, the VoFX is flexi-ble enough to give you everything you need without being difficult to program.

The following procedure is an example of how to modify your Programs. Suppose that a Program which has a 100 ms mono delay, a medium chorus, noise gate, EQ, Mic Driver, and compression sounds close to what you want,but you want a 300 ms delay with low feedback instead. Here's how to change it:

1) Use the Data wheel, or the Bank and Program selector footswitches to select the desired Program.

2) Press the Delay effect group button. The Delay group Status LED begins flashing and the display reads:

Signal Processing3) Look at the front panel Delay groupings to locate the effect you want. In this case, you'll see that the 300 ms mono delays can be found between 41 and 49 in the Echo(not Multi-Delay) Group.

4) Use the Data wheel to scroll until the the display reads:

NOTE: When you change the selected Parameter from the stored value, a deci-mal point appears in the bottom right corner of the display and the Store LED lights.

That's it! You can manipulate any effect setting in the VoFX by pressing the associated Effect selector button on the front panel and turning the Data wheel. The Effect Group buttons also toggle the effects on and off with each successive press of the button.

When you're editing Programs, be sure to pay attention to the flashing Status LEDs. This helps you keep track of where you are in the menus.

IMPORTANT: If you want to store your custom Program so you can use it later, follow the procedure below.

Storing ProgramsThe VoFX helps you remember whether or not you've stored the Program you're working on by lighting the Store LED under the bottom right corner of the display when the selected Program has been edited.

Remember that if you change any settings in a Program, you have to store the Program into a User memory location. Otherwise, all your changes will be lost.

To store a Program into a memory location:

1) Press the Store button. The Store LED begins flashing and the User LED lights (if not lit already).

2) Use the Data wheel to select the User location where you want to store the Program.

Page 11: Owner’s Guide… · POWER SOURCES: The appliance should ... plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point where they exit from the appliance. ... If you are using the VoFX in karaoke

3) Press the Store button again to store the Program in the location you selected.

After the storing procedure is complete, the VoFX returns to normal operation at the new Program location.

NOTE: Factory Programs can't be overwritten. When you modify a factory Program and store it in memory, the Program is stored in the corresponding number location in the User Program section.

Grouping ProgramsIf you have Programs that you like and would like to keep them together in the same Bank, the VoFX will allow you to store any program in any bank

To perform this function, simply move to the desired program, either using the Data Wheel or the Footswitches, and then press the <Store> button once. The <store> LED will begin to flash. Now use the <Data Wheel> and turn it until the desired location for that Program appears in the display. Once there, simply press the <Store> button again and that program will now be in that location.

BypassingThe VoFX's bypass functions are very simple.

To bypass individual effects:

1) From Performance mode, decide which effect you want to bypass and press its Select button twice. The display reads:

To bypass programs:

From Performance mode, press and hold the <Bypass> footswitch and the LED will light indicating that the currently selected program is now bypassed.

Signal ProcessingAbout the VOFX's EffectsThe VoFX has an extensive library of effects that cover virtually every possible need. Because they are so numerous, we have designed the following charts to give you asmuch relevant information as possible while omitting tedious or obvious detailsabout each effect's setting. For example, Compressors, Detuners, and Pitch Shiftersare not shown because their effect names are self explanatory.

The following pages give listings of the VoFX effect menu:

MIC DRIVERSThe VoFX provides you with 3 different distortion types (Mic Clip, Mic Saturation and Mic Overdrive).

The Distortion types have different gain settings and these can be changed to your desired settings.

EQUALIZERSThe 2-band Equalizer in the VoFX offers LOW Eq (1K Hz) and HIGH eq (3K Hz) frequencies.

Both of the EQs are adjustable in 2db increments. These can be adjusted from -12dB cut, to 12dB boost.

CHORUSA chorus works by splitting the input signal into 2 paths. One path remains uneffected, while the other is delayed andthe pitch is modulated slightly. Both are then mixed back together to produce lush, thickening effects or wild pitchmodulation. All chorus effects in the VOFX are stereo effects.

Chorus # 1 2 3 4Name Spd/Depth Spd/Depth Spd/Depth Spd/Depth

FLANGERSA flanger is like a chorus with the exception that part of the effected signal is returned back into the input. This isknown as feedback. Flanger settings with larger feedback settings will create more apparent “jet airplane“ typeeffects.

PHASERS Phasers, like flangers, split the input signal into 2 paths. One path remains uneffected, while the other is modulatedin and out of phase. When this is combined with the original, part of the signal is returned back to the input(feedback). Increased feedback settings can produce very spacey sounds, reminiscent of late 60’s and 70’s music.Phaser # 1 2 3 4Name Spd/Fbk Spd/Fbk Spd/Fbk Spd/Fbk

TREMOLOThe Tremolo modulates the level of the signal. This effect was offered in the vintage amplifiers of yesterday, but nowit has become more popular than ever. The VOFX offers 9 tremolo speeds ranging from 2.0Hz - 9.0Hz

RING MODULATORThe Ring Modulator produces mathematically related sounds rather than harmonically related sounds. This is usefulfor producing atonal and percussive-type effects.

The Ring Modulator settings in the VoFX range from 80Hz-1000Hz.

PIXELLATORThe Pixellator takes the input signal and undersamples it to create a raw digital version of the original. This effect hasbecome very popular in Industrial, Rap, and Techno music.

The VoFX offers you the unique abilityto remove unwanted vocals in recordings and then play the rest of the music back through the unit on most CDs andTapes. This can be accomplished by performing the following procedure:

Insert the CD player in the Karaoke jack (located on the rear panel), and select the <Noise gate - Karaoke> effect.Now use the <Data Wheel > and turn until Vocal cancel presets (11 through 20) are present. Presets 11 through 20have the same Noise gating features as presets 1 through 10, but within these presets, the VoFX will automaticallycancel out the Left, Center or Right signal, thus removing the pre-recorded vocal track.
