Touring your DisCover 5

r
(5) Use the [PREV] and [NEXT] buttons to select
the Music Mute field and set the desired
value with the [VALUE] dial.
The smaller the value, the softer the song’s and
Keyboard parts’ volume will be. Select “0” if you
do not want the music to be any softer than it
already is.
The Reverb Send and Delay Send fields allow
you to add some Reverb and/or Delay to your
voice. While some Reverb (values between “10”
and “40”, for example) could be useful, Delay
should probably only be used as “effect”,
because it tends to blur your announcements.
Automatic transposition (Singer Key)
Here’s yet another revolutionary function of your DisCover 5: based on information you select or input, it can
change the key of all songs you play back in realtime, thus allowing you (or a guest singer) to sing all songs in a
comfortable range. This function is called “Singer Key”.
(1) For the sake of clarity, first select a song (see
p. 16) and press [®÷ª] to start playback.
Pay attention to the song’s key.
(2) Press [®÷ª] again to stop playback, and [|√] to
return to the beginning.
(3) Press the [SINGER≈KEY] button to switch on
this function.
The display changes to:
This page contains three presets: [ORIGINAL]
means that the songs are not transposed, while
[MALE] and [FEMALE] adapt the song’s key to
the “typical” range of a male or female voice.
(4) Press the [MALE] or [FEMALE] field (depending
on whether you’re a man or a woman).
(5) Press the [®÷ª] button to start playback.
The song may now be playing in a different key.
If it is not, the melody falls within the “typical”
range you have just selected.
Note: This automatic transposition only works if track/
MIDI channel “4” of the songs you play back contains
the melody part.
(6) Press [®÷ª] again to stop playback, and [|√] to
return to the beginning.
That may still have been too high or too low for
comfort… So here comes the best part:
(7) Press one of the USER PRESET fields, and then
[Edit].
The display changes to:
Note: The [Edit] field only appears after pressing one of
the USER PRESET fields. The latter are four memories
where you can store your own range settings.
(8) Press the [Highest≈Note] field (if it is not
already selected).
(9) Sing the highest note you can muster effort-
lessly (you can sing it several times).
If you connected a microphone, a [CAPTURE]
field appears. Press this field to confirm the
note you want the DisCover 5 to recognize.
(This field does not appear if you enter the pitch
via the keyboard.)
The DisCover 5 recognizes the pitch and dis-
plays the name of the corresponding note.
(If you have no microphone handy, you can also
play this note on the keyboard.)
(10) Press the [Lowest≈Note] field and repeat step
(9), taking care to sing your lowest possible
note.
(11) Press [Customize] to store these settings if you
wish to use them at a later stage.
