Note  that  only  2.4  V  phantom  power  is  supplied, 
microphones  requiring  48  V  or  12  V  are  not  sup-
ported.  

Freeze Button 

Press  and  hold  the 

Freeze

  button  to  record  the 

microphone  singal.  To  specify  this,  only  the  filter 
coefficients,  not  the  audio  signal  itself  is  recorded.  The 
recorded  signal  is  then  played  back  in  a  loop.  With  the 

Save

  function  you  can  save  the  audio  loop,  so  that  it 

remains  after  switching  off.  Otherwise  everything  is  gone 
after  switching  off  the  STVC.  Keep  in  mind  that  only  one 
audio loop can be saved. 

r

 

The  maximum  recording  capacity  depends  on  the 
incoming  audio  signal  and  should  be  about  20 
seconds.

If  you  want  to  use  a  recorded  Freeze  signal  again, 
press  both  the 

Vocoder

  and  the 

Freeze

  button. 

Otherwise  a  new  recording  procedure  starts  and 
overwrites the internal memory. 

 

 

The Effects Section 

The  effect  section  offers  three 
effects, which can be used simulta-
neously.  

Effect Selector  

This switch selects which effect can 
be adjusted by the 

Depth

 and 

Rate

 

dials. Note that all three effects can 
be combined simultaneously. 

 

Animate:

  A  Low  Frequency 

Oscillator  (LFO)  modulates  the 
Strings registration. Depth and rate 
are  controlled  by  the 

Depth

  and 

Rate

 potentiometers. 

 

Phaser

:  Classic  phase  shifter 

effect.  Feedback  and  depth  are 
adjustable with 

Depth

 according to 

the most pleasing settings we could 
find.  Rate  is  controlled,  as  you  can 
certainly understand it, by 

Rate

 

Reverb

adjustment  of  size  and  dampening
