Mounting to a Mic Stand

MIC STAND SETUP

1. With no cables attached to the product, grasp it on both sides so

the printed top faces you and is approximately level.

2. Slide VoiceLive Touch to the left so that the upper shaft of your

mic stand is captured by the lower slot on the product. (Figure 1)

3. Slowly but firmly lower the front of the product so the serrated

slot fully captures the micstand shaft. (Figure 2) You’ll feel initial

resistance then the shaft should snap in and seat tightly.

Removal is the reverse: lift the front of the product so it snaps free of the

micstand shaft then slide right to remove.

Note that micstand diameter should not exceed 16.5 mm.

CABLING

The horizontal mounting slot on VoiceLive Touch is also used to collect

your cables. As shown in the graphic below, cables can be threaded

through the slot. Use the provided cable wrap to tie your cables neatly

to your micstand.

Basic Operations

THE SLIDER

Using the Slider: Swipe

A quick flick along a portion or the entire Slider will start it freewheeling

through the parameter values or presets. Repeated swipes will continue.

A single tap during freewheeling will stop scrolling.

Using the Slider: Drag

Moving your finger along the Slider slowly without releasing is best for a

small range of values.

USING THE VOCAL EFFECTS

First, ensure no edit modes are active by double tapping the Slider.The

display should briefly show “HOME”.

Presets and Favorites

VoiceLive Touch contains over 200 factory presets.You can store any of

these presets to a Favorite including any edits you've done on that

preset.

Loading a Favorite

Tap any Favorite button to load the effect assigned to it.

There are 25 Favorites contained in banks labeled A

through E. To access the banks, hold the Slider and

immediately tap one of the 5 Favorites buttons.

The factory-programmed Favorite banks are organized as follows:

Bank A - Showcase/variety

Bank B - Harmony and Doubling effects

Bank C - Effects useful for making interesting loops

Bank D - Transducer effects

Bank E - Extreme sounds

Loading a Preset

There are over 200

presets to sing

through. Slide along

the Slider or use the Arrow buttons to scroll up or down presets by

ones. Swipe the Slider to scroll through a large range of presets quickly

and tap to stop.

Flashing Favorite LED

This lets you know something about that Favorite has changed. Either it

has been edited or the preset has been changed. If you don’t want to

store the changes, choose any other preset or Favorite.

To save a preset to a Favorite:

1. Load a preset you want to store as a Favorite.

2. (Optional) Choose the desired Favorite bank by holding the Slider and

immediately tapping one of the five Favorite buttons.

2. Press and hold the desired Favorite location to store.

Displaying preset names

As long as you are not in an editing menu, you can scroll the current

preset or Favorite’s name by tapping the Slider once.

MUSICAL CONTROL OF HARMONY AND HARDTUNE

The harmony and HardTune effects require musical information to

sound correct with your accompaniment. VoiceLive Touch dynamically

detects whether a single device (guitar, MIDI or MP3 player) is connected

and temporarily assigns it as the musical control device.

Using Guitar, MIDI or Aux In to control harmony

Connect one device to the respective input jack on the rear panel. Select

any preset that has the Harmony and/or FX button LED lit such as

preset #3. Sing while you play guitar, MIDI keyboard or MP3 player.

These inputs are interpreted to produce moving harmony intervals that

correlate to the changing chords in your music. In presets with ““NNootteess””

in the title, the Harmony voices are controllable only by MIDI; your exact

keyboard notes determine the harmony pitches.

Using key and scale to control Harmony and HardTune without an

instrument

You can enter a key and scale when you a) know the key of the song

you are singing and b) have a pitch reference to sing along with such as

an instrument or mixed music. Choose a preset such as #3: Tuned

Up+Down to hear the effects.

To enter the Harmony key and scale of your song:

1. Hold the Harmony button to enter its edit menu.

2. Press the arrow buttons until you locate the Key: menu.

3. Slide along the Slider to choose the key.

4. Tap the right arrow to enter the Scale: menu.

5. Slide to choose a Major scale e.g. M1, M2, M3 or a minor scale

e.g. m1, m2, m3.Try each scale for best fit with your music.

Now, sing the song with your accompaniment. By default, the key and

scale you set will remain in effect for all harmony presets. If you prefer

to save different keys for presets, turn the Key/Scale Gbl parameter in

the Setup menu to Off.

Note regarding Custom scales: Scale customization is not possible in

Touch. Some presets ported from VoiceLive 2, e.g. those with “Drone” in

the name, will show Cu for scale. This indicates the scale is custom,

though it cannot be edited further in VoiceLive Touch.

BASIC LOOPING

To make a basic loop:

1. Load or edit a preset you want as your first layer effect.

2. Press the red Record button where you want your loop

to start from and sing a short phrase.

3. Press the Record button again to end recording and begin loop

playback.

You should now hear your repeating phrase.You can press the green Play

button to stop playback.
