Common Behringer VC340 Questions
How do I sync the VC340 to external MIDI clock sources like a drum machine or DAW?
Connect your MIDI clock source to the MIDI In port on the VC340 and set the 'MIDI Clock' switch on the rear panel to 'EXT'. The arpeggiator and LFO will then sync to the incoming MIDI clock.
Does the VC340 have memory for storing patches or patterns, or is it all 'what you see is what you get'?
The VC340 is a fully analog synthesizer and does not have any patch or pattern memory. The sound you hear is entirely dependent on the current position of its physical controls.
The 'Human Voice' and 'Strings' sections sound too similar. How can I get more distinct sounds?
Experiment with the 'Tone' and 'Envelope' controls within each section to drastically alter their timbres; subtle adjustments can lead to significant variations. Also, try using the built-in ensemble effect sparingly to add width without washing out the individual characteristics.
My VC340's 'Human Voice' section suddenly stopped producing sound. What could be the problem?
First, check the 'Human Voice' volume slider and the 'Strings/Voice' balance slider to ensure they're not set to zero or fully favoring the 'Strings' section. If that's not the issue, try gently wiggling the cables connected to the VC340's audio outputs, as a loose connection can cause intermittent signal loss.
What is the purpose of the 'Bow' button and how does it affect the sound?
The 'Bow' button simulates the bowing of stringed instruments, creating a gradual attack and decay on notes, adding expressiveness, especially to the 'Strings' section. Hold it down for continuous bowed sounds, or tap it for a more percussive effect.
