Timing

To edit the Scoop parameters:
1. Use the Data Wheel to select the program you want to edit and press
the Edit button.
2. Press the softkey that corresponds to Scoop. (Scp)
3. Select a different style preset using the Data Wheel. If you are satis-
fied with loading a different style, refer to the "Storing your Edits"
section on page 30. Press the Edit button again to modify the cur-
rent Scoop style or, to create a new Scoop style from scratch, load
one of the blank styles (BlnkScp #) and then press the Edit button.
4. The first screen is the Scoop Occurrence setting. This should be set
to the maximum value (100%) while you are experimenting with the
other Scoop parameters. When you have set the other parameters to
your liking the Occurrence setting can be reduced.
5. To set the Scoop amount press the right arrow button. Turn the Data
Wheel to edit voice #1. Select the other voices with the softkeys
beneath them and modify them with the Data Wheel.
6. To set the Scoop rate press the right arrow button. Turn the Data
Wheel to edit voice #1. Zero is the slowest and 10 is the fastest rate.
Select the other voices with the softkeys beneath them and modify
them with the Data Wheel. To get your bearings, start by setting the
rates at the lower settings and increase once you find the Scoop
Amount that you like.
7. (Vocoder styles only) Press the right arrow button to advance to the
Vocoder Threshold screen. The Data Wheel changes the value above
which scoops are triggered by keyboard velocity.
This parameter adds a short timing delay between your input note and the
onset of the harmony voices. This delay is set individually for each of the
four voices to stagger their initial attack. Because singing groups rarely
hit the start of their notes at exactly the same time, this adds more human
qualities to the harmony effect.
Timing Delay
The timing delay is varied in 5 millisecond steps from 0 to 80 msec. Each
voice can have a different delay setting.
Timing Randomness
This parameter varies the amount of delay up to a maximum value that is
set as the current Timing Delay. It provides a different delay for each
new note you sing. Timing Randomness is set between 1 and 10 with 1
being a small amount of deviation and 10 producing delays between 0 ms
and the current Time Delay setting.
Attack and Release (shown in Vocoder styles only)
These parameters soften the onset and decay of the harmony voices dur-
ing sustained singing input notes. They are only available in Vocoder
mode because there are times, such as when no keys are held down,
