Using A Microphone - Mic; Selecting A Vocal Harmony Type - Yamaha Clavinova CVP-900 Owner's Manual

Using a Microphone — MIC.
This extraordinarily powerful feature uses advanced voice-processing technology to automatically produce vocal
harmony based on a single lead vocal. Four distinct harmony modes as well as an extensive selection of preset harmony
types are provided. In addition to straightforward harmony, the CVP-900 also lets you change the apparent gender of
the harmony and/or lead vocal sound. For example, if you are a male singer, you can have the CVP-900 automatically
generate a two-part female backup. A comprehensive set of parameters gives you exceptionally precise and flexible
control over the vocal harmony sound.

If you connect a microphone to the CVP-900,
you can sing along with the song or auto
accompaniment and have vocal harmony
parts added automatically.
This convenient function lets you temporarily cancel the
vocal harmony or other microphone effects when using a
connected microphone. This is especially useful when
you talk between songs during a performance.
