Vocal Processor

Introduction
Thank you very much for purchasing a ZOOM V3 Vocal Processor.
The V3 has numerous functions for transforming vocals. Anyone can use it to achieve powerful
vocal sounds with simple operations.
This vocal processor is ideal for recording and live performance. After enhancing volume and
clarity, it can correct pitch or add harmony and reverb, for example.
We hope you will enjoy using it for many years.
■Main features of the V3
Compact form
We packed the functions that vocalists need most into a compact unit that is easy to carry
around. You can use it on a table top or attached to a mic stand.
Easy sound creation
Creating sounds is as easy as turning knobs and pressing switches.
Singing assistance
The compressor evens out volume and the enhance function adds clarity to make singing easier.
Delay, reverb and other effects
The selection of 16 effects optimized for vocalists include semitone pitch correction and a
harmonizer that can automatically generate 3rd and 5th harmonies in the set key, as well as a
robotic sound and aggressive distortion.
Delay and reverb can be used simultaneously with another effect.
USB audio interface
The V3 can be used as a 2-IN/2-OUT audio interface.

Adjusting the volume and tone
■Adjusting the mic input volume
Raise
Lower
While singing, adjust it so lights green.
NOTE
Adjust the mic input volume to a level that
enables the effect to function properly.
Lit red: Volume too high
Lit green: Volume just right
Unlit: Volume too low
■Reducing volume variation (compressor function)
Input sounds over a certain level can be
compressed to lower their volume and even out
the overall volume.
1. Turn .
Turn it right to increase the effect. Turn it
completely left to turn the compressor function
off.
Compressor function use
If a single song contains both shouting or other
loud singing and quiet whisper-like singing, for
example, matching the level to the loud singing
will cause the quiet singing to become inaudi-
ble. Compressing the volume of loud singing to
reduce overall volume differences makes quiet
singing easier to hear.
■Bringing out vocal character (enhance function)
1. Press so that it lights.
This turns the enhance function on.
■Adjusting headphone volume
Raise
Lower
The enhance function has two effects
• Clarifying the voice: By emphasizing high
frequencies, this can make singing clearer, so
that it is not lost in the sound of a band.
• Suppressing “s” and other sibilant sounds:
These are “s” sounds and other sounds
produced through gaps in the teeth when
singing. Suppressing sibilant sounds that
become distracting when the mic volume is
turned up can make voices sound pleasanter.

Using effects
The voice can be altered with pitch correction, pitch shifting or a vocoder effect, for example.
Harmony can also be generated automatically according to the key setting. Furthermore, the
altered voice and harmony can be further affected by delay and reverb, for example.
Use these to generate harmonies automatically according to
the key setting.
“Setting the HARMONY key and pitches” on page 12
Use these to add delay and
reverb to vocal sounds after the
selectable effect.
“Adding delay and reverb”
on page 12
Adjust the effect amount.
These can alter the sound of
the voice. For example, they
can correct pitch according to
the key or make the voice
sound childlike, vocoded or
distorted.
“Altering vocals” on page
