USING UNISON + WHISTLE MODE

1. UNISON + WHISTLE mode is another mode that does not

require an instrument to be played for it to work properly.

UNISON is vocal formant shift effect with no pitch shifting and

WHISTLE synthesizes a whistle tone two octaves above the note

you sing.

2. Turn the MODE knob until UNISON + WHISTLE mode is

selected.

3. The VOICE MIX knob mixes between the UNISON effect (fully

counter-clockwise) and the WHISTLE effect (fully clockwise).

4. The GENDER BENDER knob sets the amount of formant shifting

for UNISON mode. Above 12 o’clock, the formant will shift

upward (more female). Below 12 o’clock, the formant shifts

downward (more male). At 12 o’clock there is no formant shift.

- DESCRIPTION OF MODES -

The Voice Box has 9 modes to choose from. Each mode gives the musician a different

sonic palette to work with. In addition, each mode may change the functionality of

some of the Voice Box’s knobs. In this section we will describe each mode and the

functionality of the knobs that change with the mode.

Use the MODE knob to cycle through the modes. Turning the MODE knob clockwise

goes up the LED ladder. Turning the MODE knob counter-clockwise goes down the

LED ladder.

Below is a table displaying the function of each knob as it relates to the selected

mode. Arrows indicate the function that occurs as the knob is turned to or towards

the extreme knob position in that direction. You will notice some knobs, such as

BLEND, do not change with the mode while others, such as GENDER BENDER, are the

same basic control but the direction or amount of the function changes for nearly

every mode.
