Applying harmony to your voice

Use the sophisticated Vocal Harmony function to automatically apply harmony to your
voice as you sing into the connected microphone.
1
Turn Vocal Harmony on.
2
Press the [VH TYPE SELECT] button to call up the Vocal Harmony
type selection display and select one of the types.
For this example,
"JazzSisters" is
selected.
3
Turn the [ACMP] button on.
4
Play and hold down chords in the left-hand
section of the keyboard as you sing along with
the accompaniment.
The harmony is applied to your
voice according to the chord you
play. Try out various chords.
■ Vocal Harmony Chords
Vocal Harmony is triggered by the chords you play. In the example instructions above, the chords played
in the style chord section of the keyboard are used to trigger the Vocal Harmony. Depending on the Har-
mony Mode setting and the particular application, different chords can be used to trigger Vocal Harmony
(as listed below). For details, see page 178.

NOTE
• The lyrics inidicated on the LCD
display can be output via the
[RGB OUT]/[VIDEO OUT] termi-
nal. You can have only the lyrics of
the song output via the terminal,
even when another display is
called up. This lets you select
other displays and still have the
lyrics shown on the monitor.
For details, see page 188.
NOTE
• If you experience distorted or out-
of-tune sound from the Vocal Har-
mony feature, your vocal micro-
phone may be picking up
extraneous sounds (other than
your voice)—the Style playback
sound from the Tyros2, for exam-
ple. In particular, bass sounds can
cause mistracking of the Vocal
Harmony feature. The solution to
this problem is to ensure that as
little extraneous sound as possible
is picked up by your vocal micro-
phone:
• Sing as closely to the micro-
phone as possible.
• Use a uni-directional micro-
phone.
• Turn down the MASTER VOL-
UME, STYLE volume or SONG
volume control.
