Connections with Other Equipment

Connecting a Microphone

By connecting a separately sold microphone, you can enjoy karaoke or
perform as a singer/instrumentalist.
The sound from the microphone can also be recorded using the
Looper function (p. 61).
1. Connect your microphone to the MIC INPUT jack.
The microphone input will turn on.
A "mic" symbol could be shown in the lower left of the display when
you connect a microphone.
2. Turn the MIC [VOLUME] knob to adjust the microphone
volume.
MEMO
You can apply harmony (p. 76) or Mic Reverb (p. 71) to your voice from
the microphone.
* Please be aware of the volume when using this during the night or
early morning.
* Lower the volume before connecting a microphone to the FP-7F.
* If the volume is excessive, you may hear noise from the speakers.
* Howling could be produced depending on the location of micro-
phones relative to speakers. This can be remedied by:
1. Changing the orientation of the microphone(s).
2. Relocating microphone(s) at a greater distance from speakers.
3. Lowering volume levels.

Adding Harmony to Your Voice

This lets you add harmony to your voice from the microphone.
Suitable harmony will be generated according to the chord data of the
song or the chords you play on the keyboard.
In the following cases, chord data will be assigned automatically.
• Harmony will be generated according to the chord data detected from
your keyboard performance.
• When you perform using Session Partner, the harmony will be
generated according to the chord progression pattern of the selected
rhythm.
• When recording a phrase with the Looper, the harmony will be
generated according to the chord progression pattern of the selected
Looper rhythm.
• If you're singing along while playing back a song that contains chord
data, harmony will be added based on the chord data in the song.

when you add harmony; this may cause the tone to sound differ-
ently.

features cannot be used at the same time that Harmony is used.
