2. Control Functions
a. OCTAVE RANGE:
The pitch range covered by the VC-IO keyboard
below. If you switch the OCTAVE switch to UP. the whote range will
be raised by one octave.

OUTPUT BALANCE:
to adjust the balance between the unprocessed
natural voice) and the "synthesized" sound produced

TUNE (tuning):
he keyboard is tuned to A=440Hz when this control

-ther instruments. (Sing or speak into the mike white tuning)
VIBRATO:
ou can get a more realistic chorus effect by adding vibrato.

veryone's vibrato is a little different; for the best effect, adjust the
brato to your own style.
INPUT SIGNAL LEVEL (Input signal balance):
-'e VC-IO has two inherent sound sources: the keyboard
r 'Jisegenerator. By adding a little noise you can get more realistic
- zilant sounds, (c.g. • "SH", "CH" and "J"). If you turn
'-•;.s knob all the way clockwise, you will have noise as your only
und source; this gives a eerie" crowdlike" effect.
ENSEMBLE:
¯ :rning on ENSEMBLE switch produces a "chorus" effect. Playing
ditional keys adds even more voices. (This effect is added to the
al output signal after it has been affected by the OUTPUT
JALANCE control.
C. ACCENT BEND:
control adds a slight pitch wavering effect so that the sound
produced is more like a real human voice. Turn clockwise

h. MANUAL PITCH CONTROL WHEEL:
A: extremely creative device. The center detent makes it easy to
rt -rn quickly to normal pitch. Rotate toward the control panel
aise the pitch by a fifth; rotate toward you to lower the pitch by
a f.fth.
3. Using external sound sources and control signals.
a. Voice simulation with an external signal:
is shown on the chart
In addition to the keyboard and noise generator, external sound
signals (e.g.electric guitar, organ, tape recorder, etc.) may be used
as the basis for voice simulation.

In addition, other control voltage generating

used to control the VC-IO pitch.
4. Advanced Applications
Using the VC-IO with the Korg MS-20 synthesizer.
By setting up a patch between the VC-IO and the MS-20 as shown
as
in the chart, you can use your voice, via the VC-IO, to cause
extreme changes in tone color by controlling
