IMPORTANT NOTES
Power Supply
???Do not connect this unit to same electrical outlet that is being used by an electrical appliance that is controlled by an inverter (such as a refrigerator, washing machine, microwave oven, or air conditioner), or that contains a motor. Depending on the way in which the electrical appliance is used, power supply noise may cause this unit to malfunction or may produce audible noise. If it is not practical to use a separate electrical outlet, connect a power supply noise filter between this unit and the electrical outlet.
???The AC adaptor will begin to generate heat after long hours of consecutive use. This is normal, and is not a cause for concern.
???Before connecting this unit to other devices, turn off the power to all units. This will help prevent malfunctions and/or damage to speakers or other devices.
Placement
???Using the unit near power amplifiers (or other equipment containing large power transformers) may induce hum. To alleviate the problem, change the orientation of this unit; or move it farther away from the source of interference.
???This device may interfere with radio and television reception. Do not use this device in the vicinity of such receivers.
???Noise may be produced if wireless communications devices, such as cell phones, are operated in the vicinity of this unit. Such noise could occur when receiving or initiating a call, or while conversing. Should you experience such problems, you should relocate such wireless devices so they are at a greater distance from this unit, or switch them off.
???Do not expose the unit to direct sunlight, place it near devices that radiate heat, leave it inside an enclosed vehicle, or otherwise subject it to temperature extremes. Excessive heat can deform or discolor the unit.
???When moved from one location to another where the temperature and/or humidity is very different, water droplets (condensation) may form inside the unit. Damage or malfunction may result if you attempt to use the unit in this condition. Therefore, before using the unit, you must allow it to stand for several hours, until the condensation has completely evaporated.
???Depending on the material and temperature of the surface on which you place the unit, its rubber feet may discolor or mar the surface. You can place a piece of felt or cloth under the rubber feet to prevent this from happening. If you do so, please make sure that the unit will not slip or move accidentally.

???For everyday cleaning wipe the unit with a soft, dry cloth or one that has been slightly dampened with water. To remove stubborn dirt, use a cloth impregnated with a mild,
???Never use benzine, thinners, alcohol or solvents of any kind, to avoid the possibility of discoloration and/or deformation.
Additional Precautions
???Unfortunately, it may be impossible to restore the contents of data that was stored in the unit???s memory once it has been lost. Roland Corporation assumes no liability concerning such loss of data.
???Use a reasonable amount of care when using the unit???s buttons, sliders, or other controls; and when using its jacks and connectors. Rough handling can lead to malfunctions.
???When connecting / disconnecting all cables, grasp the connector
???To avoid disturbing your neighbors, try to keep the unit???s volume at reasonable levels. You may prefer to use headphones, so you do not need to be concerned about those around you (especially when it is late at night).
???When you need to transport the unit, package it in the box (includ- ing padding) that it came in, if possible. Otherwise, you will need to use equivalent packaging materials.
???Some connection cables contain resistors. Do not use cables that incorporate resistors for connecting to this unit. The use of such cables can cause the sound level to be extremely low, or impossible to hear. For information on cable specifications, contact the manufacturer of the cable.

Performing with the Vocoder
By playing the keyboard while you sing into the microphone, you can perform a variety of vocoder sounds, ranging from vintage vocoders to the latest
Selecting a Vocoder Sound
To play vocoder sounds, press the [Vocoder] button so its indicator is lit.
The vocoder sounds use the volume and rhythm of the sound from the microphone. The pitch is controlled by the notes you play on the connected keyboard.
If no keyboard is connected, the pitch will also be detected from the microphone input, meaning that all aspects of the vocoder sound will be controlled from the microphone.
There are three types of vocoder sound.
Each time you press the button, the [Vocoder] button???s indicator will change color in the order of red ??? green ??? orange ??? red ..., and the vocoder sound will be switched.
Try out the sound as you adjust the [Harmony] knob and [Ambience] knob (p. 23, p. 25).
20
Selecting a Variation Sound
You can choose from seven different variation sounds.
While holding down the [Vocoder] button, press one of the Human Voice or Vocal Designer buttons to select a variation sound. Like the vocoder sounds, the variation sounds will generate harmony based on the pitch of the notes you play on the keyboard. If a variation sound is selected, the sound button???s indicator will light orange.
Try out the sound as you adjust the [Harmony] knob and [Ambience] knob (p. 23, p. 25).
1.If you hold down the [Vocoder] button when you press one of the Human Voice or Vocal Designer sound buttons, the unit will enter Variation mode..
The sound button will light in orange, indicating that you???re in Variation mode.
When you???re in Variation mode, all you need to do to select another variation of the sound is to press the sound button.
2.To return to the normal mode, hold down the [Vocoder] button and press the sound button..
Sound buttons will light in green/red, and you???ll be able to select from the Human Voice/Vocal Designer sounds.

2.Play the keyboard.
3.While pressing notes on the keyboard, vocalize into the microphone.
The vocoder sound will be heard in proportion to the volume of your vocalizing.
*Even if you???re vocalizing, there will be no vocoder sound unless you???re pressing notes on the keyboard..
Play the keyboard to control the pitch of the sound..
Continue vocalizing (???wahhh...???) while you play the keyboard. The pitch will change according to the pitch of the notes you play.
Use your voice to mark the rhythm..
Press a chord on the keyboard, and rhythmically modulate your voice (???wah, wah, wahhh...???). Vocal Designer will generate sound according to the chord you???re pressing, in the rhythm of your vocalizing (???wah, wah, wahhh...???).
This is a particularly useful way to perform phrases that contain rapid passages.
The volume is controlled by the loudness of your voice..
Unlike a typical synthesizer, the volume is controlled by the microphone. In other words, your voice defines the volume curve. It???s effective to use your voice to add expression to an extent that you might otherwise consider excessive.
There are just two things you must remember in order to take maximum advantage of the vocoder..
???Match the timing of the keyboard and your voice (use your voice to mark the rhythm)
???Use your voice to control the volume (expression)

Here???s how to adjust the volume balance between the direct sound from the microphone and the Human Voice/Vocal Designer/ Vocoder sound.
1.Press notes on the keyboard, and vocalize into the microphone..
2.Use the [Harmony] knob to adjust the volume balance..
If the [Harmony] knob is turned all the way to the left, your voice will be output directly from the
If the [Harmony] knob is in the center position, the direct sound and the Vocal Designer sound will be at the same volume.
Now try singing a favorite song into the microphone. When doing so, choose one of the Vocal Designer sounds, and play the appropriate chord progression on the keyboard while you sing.
A backing chorus generated by Human Voice/Vocal Designer/Vocoder will be added to your voice according to the chords you play.
In the case of Vocal Designer, turning the [Harmony] knob toward the right of center will output a sound at the same pitch as your own voice, layered with the direct sound (p. 19).
NOTE
If you turn the [Harmony] knob all the way to the right, the direct sound from the microphone will no longer be heard.
23
Outputting Only the Direct Sound from the Microphone (Bypass)
When you turn on the power, the
By pressing the [Bypass] button, you can mute the Human Voice/Vocal Designer/Vocoder sound. Only the direct sound from the microphone will be heard.
*The sound that???s input via LINE INPUT will always be output, regardless of the on/off state of the [Bypass] button..
If Bypass is enabled, the [Bypass] button???s indicator will light.
If the [Harmony] knob is turned all the way to the right, no sound will be output when Bypass is turned on.
To make the sound reappear, press the [Bypass] button once again.
When you have a digital piano (such as one from the Roland HP series) connected via MIDI, you???ll be able to control the on/off of Bypass using the piano???s sostenuto pedal (the middle pedal; CC #66).
Using a foot pedal
If you connect a foot pedal (DP series; sold separately) to the FOOT PEDAL jack as shown in the illustration, you???ll be able to use your foot to control the function of the [Bypass] button.
This allows
If Bypass is enabled, the [Bypass] button???s indicator will light.
Foot Pedal

To make the sound reappear, press the foot pedal once again.
24
Adjusting the Dynamics (Dynamics)
The way in which the Vocal Designer/Vocoder dynamics will respond to changes in the microphone input volume can be ad- justed over a range of seven levels. Changes you make in this value are stored in the unit.
Decreasing the dynamics effect means that the Vocal Designer/Vocoder will be able to produce a wide range of sounds from loud to soft, giving you more expressive range. However, this will require you to accurately control the volume of your voice as you sing into the microphone.
Increasing the dynamics effect means that the Vocal Designer/Vocoder sound will vary less in volume, but this will make it easier for you to sing, since a stable volume will be obtained even if your voice increases or decreases in volume.
1.Press and hold the [Bypass] button for two seconds..
The [Bypass] button will blink.
2.Press one of the sound buttons to select the desired dynamic level..
You can choose from seven levels for dynamics, which correspond to the following buttons.
3.Press the [Bypass] button..
The
Applying Ambience (Ambience)
You can apply ambience (reverberation) to the direct sound from the microphone and to the Human Voice/Vocal Designer/ Vocoder sound, producing the impression of a performance in a concert hall.
The Ambience effect will increase as you turn the [Ambience] knob toward the right.
Reverb is applied in the left half of the knob???s range. Turning the knob toward the right of center will add an echo in addition to the reverb.
25
Tuning (Tune)
When performing with an ensemble, you???ll need to adjust the
???Turning the knob toward the 
position will adjust the pitch of the A4 note toward the 438 Hz or 439 Hz settings. Turning the knob toward the
position will adjust the pitch toward 441 Hz or 442 Hz. When the knob is in the center, the pitch is 440 Hz.
???Immediately after you change this setting, the Level (Tune) indicators on the top panel will indicate the value you specified.
442 Hz indicator (red)
441 Hz indicator (yellow)
440 Hz indicator (yellow)
439 Hz indicator (green)
