Turns Synth Vocoder on or off. This is equivalent to the [VOCAL HARMONY] button on the
panel.
Selects the musical instrument sound used as the source (Carrier) for the Synth Vocoder. (The Car-
rier serves as the basic sound over which the vocal characteristics are applied.)
When set to one of 1–16, note data (played from a Song on this instrument or the connected com-
puter) of the corresponding channel is used to control the harmony. When set to "Off," Song data
control over harmony is turned off.
When set to "Mute," the channel selected above (to control Harmony) is muted (turned off) during
Song playback, allowing you to disable control via specific channels as desired.
• Off: Keyboard control over harmony is turned off.
• Upper: Notes played to the right of the Split Point (Left) control the harmony.
• Lower: Notes played to the left of the Split Point (Left) control the harmony.
NOTE
When the settings of both keyboard performance and Song data are applied, those settings are merged to control the har-
mony.
• Attack: Determines the attack time of the Synth Vocoder sound. The higher the value, the slower
the attack.
• Release: Determines the release time of the Synth Vocoder sound. The higher the value, the
slower the decay.
• Shift: Determines how the cutoff frequencies of all BPFs (for the Inst Input) are shifted, in BPF
units. This parameter can be used to coarsely change the character of the Vocoder sound.
• Offset: Adjusts the cutoff frequencies of all BPFs (for the Inst Input) finely. This parameter can
be used to finely change the character of the Vocoder sound.
