Algorithm List
Vocal Canceler
When a stereo source is being input from CD or DAT and so on, this cancels the sound which is located in the stereo center, such
as the vocal or bass.

Input L
Input R
Depending on the music source, sounds that you do not wish to be canceled may be canceled as well. In particular if the musical source has heavy reverb or if the
sound that you wish to delete is not located in the center, the vocal canceler may not produce the desired result.
Canceling the vocals alone
Vocal Canceler cancels the sound located in the center. That means it cancels sounds such as the bass and sounds of the lead
instrument along with vocal sounds. To cancel vocals only to create music for karaoke, for example, set Range Lo to around
100 Hz and Range Hi to around 1 kHz.
