Notes played to the right of the split point control the harmony.
LOWER
Notes played to the left of the split point control the harmony.
This lets you set the balance between the lead vocal (your own voice) and
Vocal Harmony. Raising this value increases the volume of the Vocal Har-
mony and decreases that of the lead vocal. When this is set to L<H63 (L:
Lead Vocal, H: Vocal Harmony), only the Vocal Harmony is output; when
it is set to L63>H, only the lead vocal is output.
All of the Vocal Harmony types fall into one of three modes, which pro-
duce harmony in different ways. The harmony effect is dependent on the
selected Vocal Harmony mode, and this parameter determines how the
harmony is applied to your voice. The three modes are described below.
AUTO
When the [ACMP ON/OFF] or [LEFT] is set to ON and if chord data
exists in the Song, the mode is automatically set to CHORDAL. In all
other cases, the mode is set to VOCODER.
VOCOD (Vocoder)
The harmony notes are determined by the notes you play on the keyboard
and/or Song data. You can specify whether the Vocoder effect is con-
trolled by your keyboard performance or by the Song data (VOCODER
CONTROL parameter above).
CHORD (Chordal)
The harmony notes are determined by the following three types of chord:
chords played in the chord section of the keyboard (with the [ACMP ON/
OFF] turned on), chords played in the LEFT Voice section of the key-
board (with the [ACMP ON/OFF] turned off and the [LEFT] turned on),
and chords contained in Song data for controlling the harmony. (Not
available if the Song does not contain any chord data.)
The following parameters determine which data in a recorded Song is
used for chord detection.
OFF
Chords are not detected from the Song data.
XF
Chords of XF format are used for the Vocal Harmony.
1–16
Chords are detected from note data in the specified Song channel.
Set this to obtain the most natural vocal harmony, depending on your
voice.
NORM.
Normal setting.
LOW
Setting for lower voice. This setting is also appropriate for growling and
shouting.
HIGH
Setting for higher voice. This setting is also appropriate for singing close
to the microphone.
