WITH AN 
INSTRUMENT

If you are recording directly to a tape deck or hard disk 

recorder, patch the output from an instrument into the 

TA-1VP’s LINE IN and the TA-1VP’s MAIN LINE OUT into 

your recorder. If you will be using the TA-1VP’s Double 

Tracking function in stereo mode, patch the TA-1VP’s 

DOUBLE TRACK LINE OUT to a separate channel on your 

recorder.

The TA-1VP can be used between a microphone and the 

mixer input if the mixer does not have an insert point.
Connect the microphone to the front panel MIC IN 

connector and select Phantom power if required for your 

microphone.
If the signal from the microphone is exceptionally 

loud, press the front panel –20dB button to lower the 

sensitivity.
Adjust the level using the Setup : “In Analog trim” setting.
If you will be using the TA-1VP’s Double Tracking function 

in stereo mode, patch the TA-VP’s DOUBLE TRACK LINE 

OUT to a separate channel on the mixer.
The TA-1VP output is at line level, not microphone level, 

so be sure to choose an appropriate input on the mixer.

If the TA-1VP is used to Auto-Tune an artist’s performance 

in real time, it is important that the performer is able 

to monitor their original signal, not the pitch-corrected 

signal. Trying to react musically to the processed signal 

will drive them crazy and, in most cases, drive them 

farther off pitch.

When the TA-1VP is first powered up, it will briefly display 

the version of its internal firmware and will then display 

the Preset Selection screen:

Select Preset:

##: Preset Name

Use the Data Knob to select the desired preset. Presets 

may also be selected by MIDI Program Change commands 

and may be stepped through sequentially using a 

footswitch.
Pressing the PRESET button will always return you to this 

screen.

Depending on the relative settings of adjacent presets, 

changing presets while the TA-1VP is processing audio 

may result in audible artifacts. If you are using the TA-1VP 

in live performance, care should be taken to change 

presets while no audio is being processed.

The TA-1VP provides the ability to store 35 presets. All of 

these preset locations initially contain factory presets. The 

factory presets can be edited or replaced entirely. Should 

you wish, you can always restore the factory presets at a 

later time (see the “Restore Factory Presets” page below.)
A couple of things to keep in mind about the factory 

presets:
1.   Except for those that use it as a special effect, all 

factory presets have the Auto-Tune module turned off. 

If you want to include Auto-Tune in a factory preset, 

either edit the preset and resave it, or copy the preset 

to an unused location and edit the copy.

2.   Presets that include double tracking default to Stereo 

Mode and Auto-Tune set to a chromatic scale. Again, 

edit and resave or copy as desired.

These five LEDs light to indicate the level of the incoming 

audio. Ideally, you should adjust the input to the highest 

level that does not consistently cause the top red LED 

to light. (The red LED lights at a level of –3 dB. Digital 

clipping, which introduces a particularly nasty-sounding 

distortion, will occur if the input exceeds 0 dB.)

This meter reflects the level of the analog audio input.

below in the Setup Menu. Depending on how you have 

patched the TA-1VP into your system, the input level
