“Performing” Sound from Drums or a Portable Music Player
Here’s a really cool trick. The VP-770 lets you “perform” using the sound from a V-drum (electronic drum) or
a portable music player connected to the microphone input instead of your voice.
Connect your audio source to the EXT IN jack as shown.
S h [LEVEL] k b f EXT IN “LINE ”
This knob adjusts the level of the sound that is input from the EXT IN jack. (Turning the knob
toward “MIC” increases the level, and turning it toward “LINE” decreases the level.) If you’ve
connected a line-level device, you should set this knob to the “LINE” position.
Turn the [MIX TO MIC] switch “ON.”
The [MIX TO MIC] switch specifi es whether the sound from the EXT IN jack will be used as a
microphone input (modulator; the ON setting) or as the carrier (the OFF setting). Since we’re using
the sound as a microphone input, select the “ON” setting.
Choose a Vocal Designer sound.
Play your audio source.
Adjust the input level.
While you watch the VP-770’s LEVEL indicator, adjust
the volume of your external audio source.
Play the VP-770’s keyboard.
The sound from your external audio source will be heard according
to the pitch you play on the keyboard.
That’s right — the VP-770 lets you “perform” absolutely any sound.
