Using A Microphone - Mic. (Psr-2100 Only); Selecting A Vocal Harmony Type - Yamaha Portatone PSR-1100 Owner's Manual

Using a Microphone — MIC. (PSR-2100 only)
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 PSR-2100 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-2100 automatically
generate a two-part female backup. A comprehensive set of parameters gives you exceptionally precise and flexible
control over the vocal harmony sound.

HARMONY TALK EFFECT
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.
If you connect a microphone to the PSR-2100, you can
sing along with the song or auto accompaniment and have
vocal harmony parts added automatically.
