Determines whether and how the gender of the lead vocal sound (i.e., the direct microphone sound) will be
changed. When "Off" no gender change occurs. When "Unison", "Male" or "Female" is selected the
corresponding gender change is applied to the lead vocal. (In this case the number of harmony notes which
can be produced in addition to the lead vocal is reduced to one.)
Adjusts the degree of lead vocal gender change produced when one of the Lead Gender Types (above) is
selected.
When "Correct" is selected the pitch of the lead vocal is shifted in precise semitone steps. This parameter is
only effective when one of the Lead Gender Types is selected.
Gender change will occur when the harmony pitch reaches or exceeds the specified number of semitones
above the lead vocal pitch.

Specifies the stereo (pan) position of the first, second, or third harmony note, respectively. Harmony notes 1 - 3
are assigned in order of ascending pitch (1 is the lowest pitch, 3 is the highest). When "Random" is selected the
stereo position of the sound will change randomly whenever the keyboard is played.
Detunes the first, second, or third harmony note respectively by the specified number of cents. Harmony
notes 1 - 3 are assigned in order of ascending pitch (1 is the lowest pitch, 3 is the highest).
When "ON" the lead vocal sound "plays" the CVP-900 tone generator system. (However, dynamic changes in
the vocal sound do not affect the volume of the tone generator.)
