Vocal Harmony; Setting Up; Vocal Harmony With Accompaniment Playback - Yamaha PSR-9000 Owner's Manual

Vocal Harmony

MIC/LINE IN buttons
This extraordinarily powerful feature uses advanced voice-processing technology to automatically pro-
duce vocal harmony based on a single lead vocal. In addition to straightforward harmony, the PSR-9000
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 PSR-9000 automatically generate a two-part female backup. A com-
prehensive set of parameters gives you exceptionally precise and flexible control over the vocal harmony
sound.

Setting Up

1
Set the INPUT VOLUME control to "MIN."
2
Set the MIC/LINE panel switch to "MIC 1" or "MIC 2."
This is a gain control for the microphone input signal. The "MIC 1" setting
boosts the signal, while the "MIC 2" setting reduces it.
3
Connect a microphone to the MIC/
LINE IN jack of the PSR-9000.
4
Adjust the INPUT VOLUME control
while singing into the microphone.
Use the SIGNAL and OVER indicators to determine the appropriate setting.
With the INPUT VOLUME control at the minimum, sing or talk into the
microphone at the highest expected volume.
Gradually bring the control up toward "MAX" so that the SIGNAL indicator is
lit and the OVER indicator flashes occasionally.
Then reduce the INPUT VOLUME just enough to keep the OVER indicator
from flashing. This should be the optimum level setting. To hear the micro-
phone input, make sure to set the "MIC" fader in the MAIN VOLUME display
to an appropriate level.
