This effect mutes the input signal when the input from the microphone falls below a specified level. This
effectively cuts off extraneous noise, allowing the desired signal (vocal, etc.) to pass.
On/Off Turns Noise Gate on or off.
Threshold Adjusts the input level above which the gate begins to open.
This effect holds down the output when the input signal from the microphone exceeds a specified level.
This is especially useful for smoothing out vocals that have widely varying dynamics. It effectively "com-
presses" the signal, making loud parts softer, or vice versa.
On/Off Turns Compressor on or off.
Threshold Adjusts the input level above which compression begins to be applied.
Ratio Adjusts the compression ratio. Higher ratios result in a more compressed sound, with a
reduced dynamic range.
Out Adjusts the final output level.
Lets you set how the pitch of the microphone sound during performance is detected.
Voice Set this to obtain the most natural vocal harmony, depending on your voice.
Range • Bass: Designed to enhance lower voices. This setting is also appropriate for growling and
shouting.
• Alto/Tenor: Designed to enhance mid-range voices.
• Soprano: Designed to enhance higher voices. This setting is also appropriate for singing
close to the microphone.
• All Range: Designed to enhance vocalists having a wide range, from Bass to Soprano.
Response Adjusts the response speed of the Vocal Harmony effect, or how quickly harmonies are gen-
erated in response to your voice.
NOTE
When one or both of "Lead Pitch Detect Speed" and "Harm Pitch Detect Speed" parameters of Vocal Harmony
(page 113) are set to "as Mic Setting," this parameter is effective. In other settings, the setting of the Vocal Har-
mony's Pitch Detect Response is effective.
Back- This allows you to filter out noises that would interfere with the pitch detection. A setting of
ground "Thru" turns the noise filter off.
Noise Cut
Lets you make settings for talking or making announcements between songs during a performance.
Pan Determines the stereo pan position of the microphone sound.
Reverb Determines the depth of the reverb effects applied to the microphone sound.
Chorus Determines the depth of the chorus effects applied to the microphone sound.
Level Determines the amount of reduction to be applied to the overall sound (excepting the micro-
Reduction phone input)—allowing you to effectively adjust the balance between your voice and the
overall instrument sound.
