Singing Along While You Play; Using The Vocoder - Roland JUNO-Di Owner's Manual

Singing Along While You Play

You can connect a microphone (sold separately) to the JUNO-Di to sing along while you play.
In this section, there is no sample score. Instead, try the functions described below with your favorite score.
With the JUNO-Di, you can control the microphone volume or echo. You can also use the "Vocoder" effect to change
the characteristics of your voice.
By using the "Transpose" function, you can adjust the pitch of the keyboard to that of your voice.
Singing Along While You Play
Operation
Select an effect with the "Vocoder" and add it to your voice through the microphone.
1.
Press the [VOCAL/PAD] button.
2.
Use the dial to select "036: VOCODER Ens."
3.
Say something into the microphone while playing the keyboard.
The vocoder effect is added onto your voice. The key you play determines the pitch.
If you only play the keyboard the effect does not work. This is because the vocoder
is only effective for the voice through the microphone.
Even if you are selecting a tone other than "036: VOCODER Ens", you
can select the "79: VOCODER" effect to apply the vocoder effect to the
Memo
tone.
For more about connecting a microphone, refer to "Connecting a Microphone" (p. 19).
Memo
Vocoder
Term
The "Vocoder" adds effects to a human voice. If you run your voice through the vocoder, you can give it a
toneless, robotic tone.
