Your fastest, most direct route to home studio mastery

I like the look of this unit. 'Why?', you ask, 'It looks pretty
ordinary to me' In fact, compared to many effects units it is extraordinary
on two counts. The first is that it doesn't have an LCD display. The second
is that it has large, illuminated, user-friendly buttons. These two features
tell me that the Digitech MV-5 MIDI Vocalist is going to be friendly not fiddly
to use, that I am going to get results with it quickly, and that I am going
to be able to exploit it to its fullest potential. Maybe it's just me going
through a phase since I threw out my studio computer (shock horror!) and started
listening to the music I was trying to create, but I really do feel the
time has come for manufacturers to concentrate on giving us the features we
need in a unit rather than simply making the feature list as long as
possible, with the result that many pieces of equipment are so complex that
95% of their features never get used. Let me put it on record from the start
that this unit does what it does cleanly and simply. You do need the manual
to get started because it performs tricks other effects units cannot, but once
you have about ten minutes experience under your belt then you can let your
creativity take over and have fun!

Video of me testing my Digitech Vocalist II on. DigiTech MIDI Vocalist - $120 (Richmond) condition: excellent make / manufacturer: DigiTech model name / number: MV-5. QR Code Link to This Post. This is a USED and fully functional Digitech MV-5 Midi Vocalist (Designed and Made in Canada) w/ Power Supply. If you see this post it's available, leave me a phone number if you're.

The Digitech MIDI Vocalist is an intelligent pitch changer. This means that
it 'understands' the rules of harmony and can add harmonies to a lead vocal
appropriate to the key of the song. Brian May soundalikes may substitute 'guitar'
for 'vocal' in the previous sentence. As an intelligent pitch shifter, and one
bestowed with a certain amount of good taste, this is not a unit for weird delayed
feedback pitch shift effects, although you can certainly get these sounds with
the aid of a delay unit and a little bit of mixing console know how. Up to four
harmonies are allowed in four distinct and useful modes of operation. Taking
a look at the front panel first, the most obvious feature is the group of six
buttons set into a musical staff with a treble clef. If you were thinking that
the positions of the buttons on the staff meant something then you had been
fooled too. It's just a design feature, but the fact that they slope at an angle
does represent the relative pitches of the harmonies, if not the actual
notes. These six buttons allow the user to select four harmonies spaced above
or below, or in unison, with the input note. It's a quick and easy way to create
the harmony voicing you are looking for and the MV-5 will select the actual
pitches for you. Bypassing for the moment a group of six buttons which select
the mode of operation and the key of the song - more on these later - we come
to three rotary controls which set the input level, the output level of the
lead vocal (the input signal) and the level of the harmonies. It's so simple
it couldn't be simpler. A front panel XLR is provided, without phantom power,
for a microphone input. For those of you who are as interested in the back of
equipment as in the front panel, the principal features are a line input, stereo
outputs and the normal trio of MIDI sockets. A socket is provided for the Digitech
FS-300 footswitch which can control the Set Key, Harmony Mode and Bypass functions.
A single momentary action footswitch may be used to control Bypass only. Also
on the back is the input for the wall wart power supply. I'll continue to complain
about these devices as long as manufacturers use them because, as well as being
inconvenient, I know that the easiest way to destroy equipment is to get your
warts mixed up, which seem come in an endless variety of voltages and polarity.
There is a fortune waiting for the inventor who can come up with a powering
system that is as convenient for the manufacturer (who can sell identical units
worldwide) as a wall wart and works for the user too.

Now that we have got the hardware out of the way, let's look individually at
the four modes of operation...

Notice For Customers If Your Unit Is Equipped With A Power Cord. WARNING: THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED.

The cores in the mains lead are coloured in accordance with the following code:

GREEN and YELLOW - Earth BLUE - Neutral BROWN - Live

As colours of the cores in the mains lead of this appliance may not correspond with the coloured markings identifying the terminals in your plug, proceed as follows:

•The core which is coloured green and yellow must be connected to the terminal in the plug marked with the letter E, or with the earth symbol, or coloured green, or green and yellow.

•The core which is coloured blue must be connected to the terminal marked N or coloured black.

•The core which is coloured brown must be connected to the terminal marked L or coloured red.

This equipment may require the use of a different line cord, attachment plug, or both, depending on the available power source at installation. Connect this equipment only to the power source indicated on the equipment rear panel. If the attachment plug needs to be changed, refer servicing to qualified service personnel who should refer to the table below.

Program List

Programs 1 through 10 are “Scale” programs. Scale programs allow you to set the key and scale at the beginning of a song and they will follow your vocal melody automatically from then on. The factory programs have been set to E Major (programs 1-5) and E Minor (programs 6-10). You can change the key and scale by pressing the edit button and turning the parameter knob.

Programs 11 through 20 are “Chord” programs. You will need a MIDI keyboard to control the harmonies. Play the chords of a song on the keyboard while you sing and the harmonies will change in order to stay musically in tune with you.

Programs 21 through 25 are the “Notes” programs. This is another MIDI keyboard-controlled harmony mode. Whatever notes you play on the keyboard become the harmony notes when you sing. This is useful for creating moving harmony lines while you sing one long note for example.

Programs 26 through 41 are Scale mode templates for you to build your own programs upon. They have been preset to the keys of G, A, D and C with the four Major and Minor scales.

Programs 42 through 46 are the doubling and effects programs.

Programs 47 through 50 are the ROM (Read Only Memory) programs. It is not possible to overwrite these programs. These are included to ensure that there is at least one program of each harmony mode type in case all others are overwritten.

Power Switch

Harmony Voicing Buttons allow you to adjust the voicing of harmonies. The High and Higher buttons create harmonies above your voice. The Low, Lower and Bass buttons creates harmonies below your voice. The Double button creates detuned unison copies of your voice. See page 16 for more detail on Harmony Voicing.

The LCD Display shows preset number and harmony mode information at the initial level. It is also used to show editing and level information. Note that the “a” after the preset number is only shown when the optional FS 300 footswitch is connected. See page 18 for more details.

The Store Button allows you to save any changes you’ve made to a preset into user memory. It also lights to show that you’ve made a change to a program.

Level LEDs (see page 9 for more detail):

Level Knob/Switch - just like the Data Entry control, the level control is both a knob and a switch. Use it as a switch to select which level you want to adjust (harmony, reverb, or lead). Use it as a knob to adjust the level. Visual feedback is provided by the LCD Display.

Bypass Button mutes the Harmonies from the stereo mix output. If there is Lead Vocal and/or reverb in the mix they will be uneffected by the bypass button.
