Introduction

Thank you very much for purchasing a ZOOM Vocal Processor.

The has numerous functions for transforming vocals and is easy-to-use, so anyone can achieve powerful

vocal sounds. After adjusting volume and clarity, you can, for example, correct the pitch of vocals while adding

harmony and reverb.

Setting values and combinations can be saved as patch memories in the unit to be used whenever you like.

You can try out a variety of vocal effects right away by switching among the preset patch memories.

With other features that include a unique formant pedal that can be used to change vocal characteristics, a

looper that can record overdubs for up to 3.5 minutes and a super-directional ZOOM SGV-6 mic, this vocal pro-

cessor is perfect for live performances.

We hope you will enjoy using it for many years.

Main features of the

Easy sound creation

Creating sounds is as easy as turning knobs and pressing switches.

Super-directional ZOOM SGV-6 mic

The super-directional ZOOM SGV-6 mic, which is based on shotgun mic technologies, catches the sound

of the vocalist with focused directionality. Using the SGV-6 suppresses feedback and interference from

nearby instruments when capturing a voice, enabling more accurate pitch correction and harmonization.

Voice character manipulation pedal

The FORMANT pedal can be used to change vocal characteristics without changing pitch, making it sound like

the voice of a different person.

The vocal automatically returns to its original character when the foot is removed from the pedal.

Singing assistance

Using the compressor to even out volume and the enhance function to add clarity helps make singing easier.

Voice, harmony and effect sections

The VOICE section allows you to easily pitch-correct vocals or create a robotic sound, for example.

The HARMONY section can be used to automatically generate third-degree and fth-degree harmonies accord-

ing to the KEY setting.

The EFFECT section is optimized for vocalists. The 10 types of effects include echo and reverb as well as ag-

gressive distortion.

3.5-minute looper great for improvisations

The looper can be used to overdub processed vocals as many times as desired, greatly expanding perfor-

mance possibilities.

Convenient undo and redo functions can be easily performed with a footswitch.

USB audio interface

The can be used as a 2-IN/2-OUT audio interface.

Terms used in this manual

Patch memory

Records of voice, harmony and effect settings are called “patch memories” and can be used to easily re-

call settings. Up to 100 patch memories can be stored.

Looper

Vocal loops can be recorded for up to 3.5 minutes and played back.

Loops can be layered for a variety of live performance techniques, including a cappella choruses and vo-

cal percussion.

Memory mode

Use this mode to select patch memories with the footswitches.

Looper mode

Use this mode to operate the looper with the footswitches.

VOICE

This section can alter the sound of the voice. For example, use it to correct pitch according to the key or

give the voice a childlike, synthesized or vocoder sound.

HARMONY

This can add up to two harmonizing voices.This generates optimal harmonies automatically according to

the key.

EFFECT

This section adds reverb, distortion or another effect to the original sound to change its tone.

FORMANT

Formants are vocal characteristics created by differences in mouth and throat shapes.

The FORMANT pedal of the can be used to change vocal characteristics without changing the pitch.

COMP (compressor)

Input sounds over a certain level can be compressed to lower their volume and even out the overall vol-

ume.

ENHANCE

This can make singing clearer by emphasizing high frequencies, and it can make the voice sound pleas-

anter by suppressing sibilant sounds as in “hiss” and “shhh”.

ECO mode

This function will automatically turn the power off 10 hours after the last operation.
