DELAY TIME: Allows you to set a delay between the
moment you start singing and the moment the
vibrato effect kicks in.

other “Gender” settings).
Voice-FX
Ever wondered what your voice would sound like if you
were a woman (for men), man (for women), robot or
something else…? You’re about to find out:
(1) Press the [VOICE-FX] button.
(2) Sing into the microphone and listen to yourself.
(You may have to switch off the [SMALL] or
[ENSEMBLE] button if it lights to hear how this
function works.)
(3) Press and hold the [VOICE-FX] button. The display
now looks as follows:
(4) Press one of the twelve TYPE fields to try out other
possibilities.
(5) For added “strangeness” (or realism), you can press
the [VIBRATO] field (right).
(6) If you feel the general idea is OK, but would like to
fine-tune the effect, press the [EDIT] field at the
bottom edge of the display.
See page 151 for the Edit and Equalizer parameters.
Note: To keep your settings, you must write them to a User
Program.
Note: You can add the [SMALL] or [ENSEMBLE] harmonies to
this effect.
(7) Press the [EXIT] button to return to the main page.
Auto Pitch
Here’s another interesting effect that can either be
used as gimmick or to ensure that even the flattest of
renditions suddenly sounds in tune. Of course, the voice
will sound somewhat “artificial”, because the emphasis
is on tuning here. However, even if you just speak the
words of a song, it will be sung just the same.
(1) Press the [AUTO≈PITCH] button.
(2) Start song or Style playback and say something
into the microphone (don’t sing).
Sounds like a very popular effect, doesn’t it?
(3) Press and hold the [AUTO≈PITCH] button.
The display changes to:
Let us begin with the most important parameter: the
notes that will be used by the AUTO PITCH function.
That is what you specify via the AUTO PITCH ASSIGN
fields.
(4) Set the TRACK value to select a song part.
The “4” setting usually corresponds to the melody
part of a Standard MIDI File and is thus the most
likely candidate, but feel free to select “1”~“3” or “5”~
“16” to use another part as melody.
If you want to play the melody yourself, press the
[LEFT] or [RIGHT] field (or both) and play the desired
notes, while you speak (or sing) into the microphone.
Note: Selecting LEFT and/or RIGHT will set the TRACK parame-
ter to “Off”.
Use the OCTAVE parameter to shift the pitch of the
Auto Pitch notes up to 2 octaves up or down.
(5) Press the [VIBRATO] field to add some “wobble” to
the Auto Pitch sound.
This vibrato effect is not linked to the Voice-FX
vibrato and can thus be set separately (see below).
