Rob256 Posted July 5, 2014 Share Posted July 5, 2014 Hi all, I'm New to the line 6 Hd500 I'm wondering if it's possible to use a mic in the Aux input to control the Vocoder? as my mic has a Mono plug not XLR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brazzy Posted July 5, 2014 Share Posted July 5, 2014 That's a good question, I don't think so, you should try it though. I'm of the impression it only works with the mic input. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob256 Posted July 6, 2014 Author Share Posted July 6, 2014 Hi Brazzy, i did give it a try but appears it don't, not sure if it would have to be Programmed to, or if it is possible! I'm a Complete newbie to this Unit, so far i can't even figure out how to get it to change the patches with the switches, rather then them take off delays and other part of the patch... I have much to learn! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Check this out: It looks like you use the guitar input with the mic plugged in the xlr and when you select the vocoder it automatically pick up the signal from the guitar input, so don't use the mic as the input setting use the guitar. Best Answer silverhead, 31 March 2014 - 07:36 AM Try removing the Input2=MIC setting. I am going from memory here and from a different device, so this could be wrong but.... I recall using the Vocoder long ago with my Pod X3 Live. The association of the Mic to the Vocoder FX was automatic; no input assignment was required because the Vocoder is designed to use the mic input by default. I believe that by assigning Input2=MIC you are forcing the MIC input through the full signal chain, when all you want is to have the mic input used by the Vocoder FX. I think this may happen automatically. EDIT: Here's an old post I dug up to illustrate. The implementation may have changed in the Pod HD vs. X3, but here's how it worked in the X3: Re: How does the Vocoder work? by silverhead on 2010-03-03 06:27:27 Use Guitar as your Input setting for the Tone. When you select and turn on the Vocoder as an effect for the Tone the X3 will automatically start to use the Mic Input as a trigger for the guitar. Your guitar will no longer sound (even thought it remains the selected input for the Tone) until the X3 detects a signal at the Mic input.
