Editing the Vocal Harmonizer parts
Apart from the effects settings discussed earlier, there are also other VOCAL HARMONIZER settings that can be cus-
tomized. There are additional parameters for all Vocal Harmonizer Parts except the TALK option.
Procedure for selecting these pages
(1) Press the [MENU] button.
(2) On the MENU page that appears now, press
the [VOCAL≈HARMONIZER] field.
(3) In the right column, press the field that cor-
responds to the VOCAL HARMONIZER part
you wish to edit.
You could also press and hold the correspond-
ing button on the front panel.
It might be a good idea to connect a micro-
phone and to sing/talk while making the fol-
lowing settings.
Singer settings
When the [SINGER] button lights, your solo singing
is output.
(1) Press the [Male] or [Female] field.
This is an important indication for the HAR-
MONY processor (Vocoder, Small or Ensemble).
It does not change the character of your live
singing, though.
Press the field that corresponds to your voice
type. That way, the added harmony voices will
sound even more convincing.
(2) Press the [Vibrato] field to add an automatic
Vibrato effect to your singing.
Note that this is probably only useful as gim-
mick: your natural vibrato no doubt sounds far
more… natural. The Vibrato parameters can be
set on the Edit page.
(3) When you are done, either press the [EXIT]
button to return to the main page, or one of
the other fields in the right column to set
those parameters as well.
Note: The [Vocal≈Effect] and [Equalizer] fields allow you
to jump to the effects or tone controls.
If you press the
[Edit]
field…
…the display looks as follows:
Use the [PREV] and [NEXT] buttons to select the
parameter you wish to edit, and set the desired
value with the [VALUE] dial.
Parameter fields can also be selected by press-
ing them.
For the following, the [Vibrato] indicator icon
must be white for the effect to be noticeable.
Vibrato Rate: Sets the speed of the vibrato effect.
Vibrato Depth: Allows you to set the vibrato
intensity. Vibrato is an effect that changes (“modu-
lates”) the pitch. The higher the Depth value, the
more outspoken these periodic pitch changes will be.
Rise Time: Allows you to set a swell for the vibrato
effect. This parameter specifies how long it takes
before the Depth value is reached – once the Delay
Time is up.
Delay Time: Allows you to set a delay between the
moment you start singing and the moment the
vibrato effect kicks in.
Press [EXIT] (or [Back≈to≈Singer]) to leave this
page.
If you press the
[Equalizer]
field…
…the Vocal Equalizer page appears. It contains
a simple equalizer for the Voice-FX, Auto Tune
and Singer parts. See above.
