Decided to try out the VOCODER effect on my HD500 today but could not figure out how to get it set up.  I am on firmware 2.0.

Had a mic plugged in and a Variax and Input 1 set to Mic and Input 2 set to Variax and vice versa - also tried the vocoder in pre and post and on path 1 and path 2 but could only get a direct sound of either mic or vairax by reducing the mix level - certainly did not hear any effect. So obviously I am setting it up incorrectly.  I am just about to head off and research the manual but thought it was worth posting the question first in case someone has already sorted this out and they could perhaps save me some time by letting me know what I need to do.

Thanks in advance for any help or direction anyone can give.

Best Regards

Eddie
