SW60XG APPLICATION SOFTWARE
SW60XG offers you to use two types of effect controllers, the one for Windows and the other for DOS;
EffectGearII and EFFECTCON respectively.
EffectGearII
The EffectGearII lets you apply various types of effects to the signal input by a microphone, the line-level
input signal from CD-ROM audio playback. You can also change the pitch of a song, or reduce the volume
of the main vocal from a song playing on a CD (for karaoke sing-along).
Startup Procedure
Double click on the [EffectGearII] icon and the EffectGearII application will start.

song from CD audio playback for karaoke sing-along accompaniment.
The voice cancel function may not be effective depending on the type of effect applied.
