Help needed ...Harmonizer stopped working... - 02/13/05 02:17 PM
Need some help gang...
I have a Digitech Vocalist Access (Tom's old one, in fact)...I'm told its very similar to a Digitech Voacalist VR..
Friday night I dropped the power supply...
It was disconnected...Upon plugging it back in, the unit would not power up. I suspected I damaged the power supply...I went out Saturday morning to locate a new one. Most places didn't have the proper adapter. (It needs 9.75 volts AC and 820 milli-amps)
Finally I located a universal adpater that lets you choose a setting...which is rated up to 1000mA. I figured I was home free.
I set everything up as usual today...the unit powered up just fine...The information panel is functioning normally...however, when I sing into the connect mic...there is no audible vocal coming out. I can see the unit is getting a signal. Also, the midi communication looks ok also, (IE: if I play a E minor chord on the Tyros...that's what's displayed on the Digitech.
I have crossed checked all cables...they all check out fine...
Here's my gear and hook-up info:
*Two 1/4" cables out of the Tyros into a stereo channel on my Behringer PMX 2000 10 channel mixer
*Two 1/4" cables running out of another stereo channel to the inputs on the rear of the Digitech
*Mic connected to mic input on front panel of Digitech
NOTE: I can see a signal is being recieved by the Digitech harmonizer, but again no vocal sound can be heard.
Digitech VR Harmonizer settings are as follows:
Harmony Hold-on
Reverb-Cathedral
Midi-Channel 1
Midi prgrm-off
Zone-Below b5
Scale Smooth-off
Global Reverb-on
Global mix-off
The level on the lead vocal is max
The level on harmonies is set at 32
I'd really appreciate any help that can be offered. Right now I'm not sure if its fried (I doubt it since it seems to be receiving midi data ok) or what. Is there a factory reset perhaps that might be worth looking at?
Thanks a million for any help...
PS: What is the difference between the Digitech Vocalist Access and the Vocalist VR?
