VP-03 direct mic / tone control issues

Post by gamerock »

Hi there!

I want to ask a question from the VP-03 owners. I am experiencing a strange issue:
I hear microphone input even when the Direct Mic fader is set to zero. When I higher the tone control of the vocoder the microphone signal gets even more noticeable and brighter. This is very strange and frustrating.
The interesting fact is that the vocal signal I hear is a high frequency signal, so it's not the fully fledged original signal but its high frequencies.

The firmware is the latest one: 1.04
I use Shure Beta 57a microphone and it's set up correctly: the green light of the vocoder is on and it's not clipping so the red light never shows up.

The issue is valid even when not using the microphone but instead sending the vocal signal over the USB.

Any clues guys?

IMO when the direct mic control is full way zero you shouldn't be able to hear the vocal signal at all.
