Description
All notes will be sustained if you press the Hold pedal and play the keyboard.
If you play with the Hold pedal held down, the previous note will disappear the
instant you play the next note, producing a legato performance. This makes it
easier to play particularly when you're playing chords.
The Hold pedal will sustain the sound of the carrier (the basis of the sound).
If you play the keyboard and then hold down the Hold pedal, you'll be able to
perform simply by using the sound from the microphone, without having to
keep your hand on the keyboard.
The Hold pedal will sustain the sound of the modulator (microphone input).
If you hold down the Hold pedal while vocalizing into the microphone, you'll
be able to perform simply by playing the keyboard, without having to continue
vocalizing.
The default setting for the modulator is the microphone input, but you can
change this by using the "Input Source" parameter.
The Hold pedal will sustain the sounds of both the carrier and the modulator.
Specifi es whether the portamento eff ect will be applied (ON) or not (OFF).
Portamento is an eff ect which smoothly changes the pitch from the fi rst-played
key to the next-played key. By applying portamento, you can simulate slide
performance techniques on a violin or similar instrument.
Specifi es the time over which the pitch will change when you play portamento.
Increasing the value will lengthen the time over which the pitch moves to the
next note.
Specifi es the state of the [8va] button. If this is ON, the range of the Vocal
Designer part will be raised by one octave.
Turns the Auto Harmony function on/off .
The Auto Harmony function lets you automatically add a backing chorus to
your vocal. This function generates harmony based on the melody you sing
(the pitch detected from the microphone) and the chords detected from the
keyboard. In addition, the harmony will change according to the movement of
the melody you sing.
Switches the type of Auto Harmony.
The notation shown below is an example of a C-major scale.
•
The solid black notes indicate the pitch detected from the microphone (this
note will not sound *1).
•
The white notes indicate the harmony that was generated (Vocal Designer
will sound with these notes).
•
For a minor chord, the third will be a minor third rather than a major third.

Turns the Auto Note function on.
Normally, Vocal Designer will not sound unless you play the keyboard.
However, by using the Auto Note function, you can make Vocal Designer
produce sound without your having to play the keyboard; i.e., all you'll need
to do is vocalize into the microphone. The Auto Note function will detect the
pitch of your voice via the microphone, and automatically sound notes for that
pitch.
