Recording Your Performance As Audio - Yamaha PSR-SX600 Owner's Manual

Adjusting the Volume Balance Between the Song (MIDI) and Audio
playback
You can set this from the balance setting display (page 56).
Canceling the Vocal Part and Playing the Part with Backing (Vocal
Cancel)
This lets you cancel or attenuate the center position of the stereo sound. This lets you
sing "karaoke" style with just instrumental backing, since the vocal sound is usually
at the center of the stereo image in most recordings.
To turn Vocal Cancel on, after selecting an Audio file, press the [8 ] (Setting)
buttons, and then use the [3 ]/[4 ] (Vocal Cancel) buttons. If you select
another audio file, this setting will be switched to off.
Adjusting the Playback Speed (Time Stretch)
These let you adjust the playback speed of an Audio file by stretching or
compressing it. The value can be adjusted from 75% to 125% and the default value is
100%. Higher values result in a faster tempo.
To adjust the playback speed, press the [8 ] (Setting) buttons to call up the pop-
up display for audio settings, and then use the [6 ] (Time Stretch) buttons. If you
select another audio file, this setting will be restored to the default value.
Adjusting the Pitch in semitones (Pitch Shift)
These let you shift the pitch of an Audio file in semitones.
To shift the pitch, press the [8 ] (Setting) buttons to call up the pop-up display
for audio settings, and then use the [7 ] (Pitch Shift) buttons.
If you select another audio file, this setting will be restored to the default value.
