Set it to the highest possible value, taking care to
avoid that the OVER indicator lights. It would be best
to sing at the level you will be using during your per-
formances.
(6) If your singing is inaudible in the speakers con-
nected to the amp (or the headphones), turn the
[VOICE] knob towards the right (towards “MAX”).
Note: If a howling sound (a.k.a. “feedback”) is produced, your
microphone may be pointed at a speaker. Try orienting it dif-
ferently, or slightly reduce the [VOICE] setting.
(7) Use the [EFFECTS] knob to set the balance between
your original singing and the effects that are
added to your voice.
Note: You can start song playback and sing to it. See “Playing
back songs (Standard MIDI Files)” on p. 38 and “Minus One” on
p. 41 for details.
Your G-70 provides a compressor effect you might
want to set up now. The compressor reduces volume
peaks and thus “levels out” differences in the micro-
phone signal.
The gate effect, on the other hand can be used to
avoid that background noises cause the Vocal Har-
monist, etc., to start working even though you are
not singing.
These two effects are located immediately behind the
MIC INPUT socket and thus applied to the micro-
phone signal before it is processed by the Vocal Har-
monist section.
(8) Press and hold the [SINGER] button to jump to the
following page:
(9) Press the [VOCAL≈EFFECT] field.
(10) If you need the compressor, press the [COMPRESS]
field, so that it lights in blue.
(11) If you also want to use the gate, press the [GATE]
field (it must light in blue).
(12) Press the parameter field whose value you want to
edit and set the desired value with the
[DATA÷ENTRY] dial.
Note: Parameter fields can also be selected using the DATA
ENTRY [√][®][ß][†] buttons.
It is very important that you keep singing while set-
ting the following parameters.
SUSTAIN LEV: Use this parameter to specify how fast
the compressor stops working once the microphone
level drops below the compressor’s threshold. This
should be set in such a way as to avoid unpleasant
level jumps between notes. Set it in combination with
the following parameter to obtain the best possible
result.
OUTPUT LEV: The compressor reduces the dynamics
(level differences) of your singing. This parameter
serves two purposes: it allows you to specify how
strongly your voice should be compressed, and –as
you increase the value– it raises the compressor’s
output volume to make up for the resulting lower
level.
Note: The value “0” means that the compressor is not working.
THRESHOLD: This parameter allows you to set the
level the microphone signal must have in order to be
audible. Softer signals will be muted (suppressed) by
the gate.
(13) Press the [VOICE] field to jump to a page where you
can select different presets, etc. (see below).
(14) Press the [EXIT] button to return to the main page.
