“Performing” sound from drums or a portable music player
Here’s a really cool trick. The VP-550 lets you “perform” using the sound from a V-drum (electronic drum) or
a portable music player connected to the mic input instead of your voice.
Connect your audio source to the [EXT IN] jack as shown.
OUTPUT
Set the [EXT IN] knob to “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 con-
nected a line-level device, you should set this knob to the “LINE” position.

nected 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 mic
input (modulator; the ON setting) or as the carrier (the OFF setting). Since we’re using the sound
as a mic input, select the “ON” setting.

Choose a Vocal Designer sound.
Play your audio source.
Adjust the input level.
While you watch the VP-550’s [LEVEL] indicator, adjust
the volume of your external audio source.
Play the VP-550’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-550 lets you “perform” absolutely any sound.
