6 Vocal Processor
Understanding the Vocal Processor
The first thing to be sure about is what the Vocal Processor
actually does. Quite simply, it harmonizes the mic signal
(your voice) up to 4 times, depending on how many notes
you play on the keyboard; one note, one harmonized voice.
There are also two modes of operation; Vocoder mode and
Unison mode. In Vocoder mode, the pitch of the harmo-
nized voices depend on the pitch of the notes played on
the keyboard. In Unison mode, the mic signal is doubled
up to 4 times at the same pitch, without having to play on
the keyboard.
Each voice has an independent Volume and Pan control
and an on/off switch. There’s also a general Voice Edit
with LFO, Pitch envelope and Transpose controls.
The easiest way to learn about how to use the Vocal Proc-
essor is to try an example. Let’s try and listen to our voice
harmonized 4 times without other background sounds. In
Performance mode, the track whose note data is used by
the Vocal Processor to duplicate the voices (the Vocoder
track) corresponds to track 1, but you can assign this track
to any Performance part (syn 1-16). If you want to use the
Sequencer, you can assign the Vocoder Track to one of the
16 sequencer tracks (seq 1-16).
Example
1. Make sure you have a Performance selected.
2. Turn off all parts of the Performance except Part 1.
3. Play on the keyboard and turn down the volume of Part 1
until you hear no sound.
