VOICE BOX

Harmony Machine and Vocoder

Congratulations on your purchase of the Electro-Harmonix Voice Box!

The Voice Box is a comprehensive and easy to use vocal harmony

machine and vocoder. Singers can produce 1 to 4 part harmonies from

their solo vocals. The harmonies are determined by the chords played on

your instrument and the notes you sing. The Voice Box has a superb and

easy to use vocoder, allowing you to easily create classic vocoder

sounds. Additionally the Voice Box has an Octave mode, Whistle effect

and a Unison effect.

Special Features of the Voice Box:

 3 different dual harmony modes including: Low, High, Low + High.

 3 different multi harmony modes.

 Vocoder mode turns the Voice Box into a professional sounding

vocoder.

 Octave mode produces an octave above and below your vocal.

 Whistle mode synthesizes a whistle tone 2 octaves above the note you

sing.

 Unison mode allows for a formant shaping effect without pitch shifting.

 Save and load up to 9 presets: 1 preset for each mode.

 Scroll through the presets using the MODE knob or PRESET Footswitch.

 Built-In balanced Mic Pre-Amp with switchable Phantom Power and Gain

adjustment.

 Effect output on balanced XLR line output for interfacing with mixers

and stage breakout boxes.

 Clean and transparent analog instrument through circuitry.

WARNING:

Use only the AC Adapter that the Voice Box comes

supplied with. Do not use any other AC Adapters. Using other AC

adapters, even those made by Electro-Harmonix, could cause harm to

the unit, the adapter or you. The Voice Box does not use batteries.

- QUICK START GUIDE -

BASIC CONNECTION SETUP

1. Connect your microphone to the MIC input on the right side of

the Voice Box using a balanced XLR cable.

2. Connect a balanced XLR cable to the EFFECT output jack on the

left side of the Voice Box. Connect the other end of the XLR

cable to the line input of a mixer.

3. Using an unbalanced instrument cable, plug your instrument into

the INST Input Jack on the right side of the Voice Box.

4. Connect your instrument’s amp or chain of effects into the INST

output jack on the left side of the Voice Box.

5. Plug the AC Adapter into a wall outlet.

6. Plug the barrel connector of the AC Adapter into the 9V power

jack at the top of the Voice Box. . Polarity is center negative

7. If using a condenser microphone, flip the Phantom Power switch

up to the top position, otherwise leave it off. The Phantom

Power Switch is located on the right side of the Voice Box, next

to the XLR MIC input.

8. Push the MIC BYPASS Footswitch until its associated LED is off.

Sing into the microphone, you will hear your dry vocal at this

point. Adjust mixer settings as well as the MIC GAIN switch on

the Voice Box to obtain optimal mic levels.

USING THE HARMONIES

1. Rotate the white MODE knob clockwise until LOW HARMONY

mode is selected.

2. Rotate the GENDER BENDER, DRY and HARMONY REVERB

knobs fully counter-clockwise.

3. Rotate the BLEND and VOICE MIX knobs so that they are set to

12 o’clock or 50% position.

4. Play your instrument to make sure you can hear it well. Now

tune your instrument, the harmonies in the Voice Box work best

when your instrument is properly tuned with itself. The

instrument does not have to be tuned to A440 or any other

standard.

5. Play some chords and sing, you will hear the Voice Box produce

mostly 3rds and 5ths below your original vocal and in tune with

your instrument.

6. Rotate the MODE knob to load the other harmony modes.

VOICE MIX Knob Adjustments

1. When the Voice Box is set to one of the 6 harmony modes, the

VOICE MIX knob adjusts the mix between lower and higher

harmonies. For example, when the Voice Box is set to LOW

HARMONY mode, the VOICE MIX knob will mix between the 3rd

below your original note and the 5th below your original note.

2. Adjust the VOICE MIX knob to hear the mix of lower 3rd and

lower 5th harmonies you like best.

GENDER BENDER Knob Adjustments

1. In the 6 harmony modes, the GENDER BENDER knob controls

the timbre of the harmony voices. As you turn the GENDER

BENDER knob clockwise, the formant of the harmony voices

shifts upward or downward. The direction of the formant shift

depends on the harmony mode selected.

2. As an example, if the Voice Box is set to LOW HARMONY mode,

as you turn the GENDER BENDER knob clockwise, the formant

shifts downward, emulating the lengthening of the vocal tract.

Male singers tend to have longer vocal tracts than female

singers, so by turning the GENDER BENDER knob clockwise in

LOW HARMONY mode, you are making the harmony voices

sound more male.

3. Turning the GENDER BENDER knob counter-clockwise reduces

the formant shift, going all the way down to zero when set fully

counter-clockwise.

Adding Reverb

1. The Voice Box includes separate control for DRY or HARMONY

reverb.

2. Turn up the HARMONY knob under REVERB and you will hear

the harmony voices going through the reverb effect.

3. Turn up the DRY knob under REVERB and you will hear your dry

vocals going through the reverb effect.

4. You can apply separate amounts of reverb to your effected

vocals or dry vocals.

USING THE VOCODER

1. Turn the MODE knob counter-clockwise until VOCODER mode is

selected.

2. Rotate DRY REVERB, HARMONY REVERB and VOICE MIX knobs

fully counter-clockwise.

3. Rotate the GENDER BENDER knob to 12 o’clock or 50%.

4. Rotate the BLEND fully clockwise so all you hear is effect.

5. You may even want to mute the output of the instrument signal,

for example turn off your guitar amp if using an amp.

6. Play a chord on your instrument then sing something. You

should hear your voice modulating the instrument. You are now

vocoding.

7. Try turning the VOICE MIX knob up to 50%. In VOCODER mode,

the VOICE MIX knob gives a treble boost up 12 o’clock. Past 12

o’clock, it will add more harmonics to your instrument,

emphasizing the most sibilant frequency ranges of the voice.

This makes it easier to obtain vocoded sounds out of dry guitar.

8. In VOCODER mode, the GENDER BENDER knob again shifts the

formant. Above 12 o’clock, the formant will shift upward (more

female). Below 12 o’clock, the formant shifts downward (more

male). At 12 o’clock there is no formant shift.

9. The BLEND knob can be used to mix in some of your dry vocal

to create interesting doubled vocal effects.

10. You can add some reverb to the vocoded signal by turning up

the HARMONY REVERB knob.

USING OCTAVES MODE

1. OCTAVES mode does not require an instrument to be played in

order for it to produce the octaves above and below your

original vocals.

2. Turn the MODE knob until OCTAVES mode is selected.

3. The VOICE MIX knob mixes between the lower and upper

octaves. Full counter-clockwise produces the lower octave and

full clockwise produces the upper octave. 12 o’clock on the

VOICE MIX knob will produce an equal mix of both octaves.

4. Turning GENDER BENDER clockwise in OCTAVES mode increases

the amount formant shift for both the upper and lower octave.

GENDER BENDER shifts the formant upward for the upper

octave and shifts it downward for the lower octave. Turning the

GENDER BENDER knob counter-clockwise will reduce the

formant shift to zero at the minimum position.

USING UNISON + WHISTLE MODE

1. UNISON + WHISTLE mode is another mode that does not

require an instrument to be played for it to work properly.

UNISON is vocal formant shift effect with no pitch shifting and

WHISTLE synthesizes a whistle tone two octaves above the note

you sing.

2. Turn the MODE knob until UNISON + WHISTLE mode is

selected.

3. The VOICE MIX knob mixes between the UNISON effect (fully

counter-clockwise) and the WHISTLE effect (fully clockwise).

4. The GENDER BENDER knob sets the amount of formant shifting

for UNISON mode. Above 12 o’clock, the formant will shift

upward (more female). Below 12 o’clock, the formant shifts

downward (more male). At 12 o’clock there is no formant shift.

- DESCRIPTION OF MODES -

The Voice Box has 9 modes to choose from. Each mode gives the

musician a different sonic palette to work with. In addition, each mode

may change the functionality of some of the Voice Box’s knobs. In this

section we will describe each mode and the functionality of the knobs

that change with the mode.

Use the MODE knob to cycle through the modes. Turning the MODE

knob clockwise goes up the LED ladder. Turning the MODE knob

counter-clockwise goes down the LED ladder.

Below is a table displaying the function of each knob as it relates to the

selected mode. Arrows indicate the function that occurs as the knob is

turned to or towards the extreme knob position in that direction. You will

notice some knobs, such as BLEND, do not change with the mode while

others, such as GENDER BENDER, are the same basic control but the

direction or amount of the function changes for nearly every mode.
