EXAMPLE 1
This first example will use the PLG100-VH's
VOCODER Harmony type and the MOTIF ES A/D
Input.
To do this:
•
Follow STEPS 1-3 of "Easy Steps To Using
The A/D Input and the PLG100-VH".
At this point, you should be able to:
a) Hear audio through the microphone
b) Play the MOTIF ES and hear a keyboard
Voice.
c) Sing into the microphone while playing a
chord on the MOTIF ES. The harmonies
produced (up to three harmony notes) are
pitches corresponding to the notes you
play on the MOTIF ES.
•
Now let's turn the Keyboard Voices down so
that
we
can
concentrate
Harmony board. To do this use the CS
controls to lower the Volume of the Keyboard
Parts.
*At this point, you should only hear the original
microphone signal and the harmonized parts
(when you play the keyboard and sing into the
microphone).
The next objective will be to alter the balance of
the
harmony
signal
microphone signal is heard, just the VOCODER
effect.
While still in EDIT mode, press [COMMON]/ [F6]
Effect/ [SF3] PLG-EF.
•
We now can view the edit parameters of the
VOCODER.
•
Use the right cursor to select the page with
the LowerG.Dpt (Lower Gender Depth) and
the
Lead/Harm
parameters in the right column.
•
Adjusts the balance between the "lead" and
the PLG 100-VH's vocal harmonies.
•
Set the L=H parameter to "L<H63"
*At
this
point,
you
harmonized parts (when you play the keyboard
and sing into the microphone). Don't be afraid to
sing OUT LOUD. Many people never hear the
effect because they don't give up enough signal to
the microphone. But don't overload the signal
either. It may take a minute for you to adjust to
how to sing to get maximum benefit. Remember
on
the
Vocal
so
that
no
actual
(Lead/Harmony)
balance
should
only
hear
you have 3 parts so playing more notes than that
is, well, silly.
Using the PLG100-VH in this manner will allow you
to actually play your vocal parts from the
keyboard. The "synthesizer" harmony pitches will
be completely determined by what is played on
the keyboard of the MOTIF ES (when applied in a
MIX the harmony pitches can be determined by a
track of the sequencer). Controllers such as pitch
bend can also be applied to the harmonized effect.
STORE this Performance, if you would like to keep
it.

EXAMPLE 2
the "Classic" Vocoder setting
The next setting will give you the classic robot-like
vocoder-effect with key control.
To do this:
•
Follow STEPS 1-3 of "Easy Steps To Using
The A/D Input and the PLG100-VH".
•
Push Program (Track) button [1] to select
PART 1
•
Turn down the keyboard Part assigned to the
Performance with the CS
*At this point, you should only hear the original
microphone signal and the harmonized parts
dry
(when you play the keyboard and sing into the
microphone). If not, check the Lead/Harmony
balance (L=H).
The next objective will be to:
•
Adjust the settings of the PLG100-VH to put
the finishing touches on the robot-like voice
effect.
•
Alter the balance of the Lead/Harmony signal
so that no actual dry microphone signal is
heard, just the VOCODER effect.
Set the parameters as follows:
•
'Mode' to –1 OCT
•
'H.Gender' (Harmony gender)to auto
•
'L.Gender' (Lead gender) to male
•
'Pitch Correct' to ON
•
Upper Threshold to "5"
•
Set Lower Thrsh to "6".
•
Set Upper Gender Depth to "+00".
•
Set the 'Lower Gender Depth to -20 (minus
values move toward Barry White (may he
R.I.P.); positive values toward mechanical-
the
man
•
Lead-Harmony to L63>H
*The idea of this setting is to get a monotone,
robotic sounding effect. At this point you are
ready to determine what pitch the PLG board will
drive by simply playing a key on the MOTIF ES.
