Changing the Function of the Output L/R Jacks (Output Mode)
You can specify whether the output L/R jacks will output a conventional stereo signal, or whether the L-jack will output only the
Human Voice/Vocal Designer/Vocoder sound while the R-jack outputs only the direct sound.
Normally, the VP-7 is set so that L/R will output a conventional stereo signal when it starts up.
