VOCODER CON- The Vocal Harmony effect in Vocoder mode (below) is controlled by note
TROL data—the notes you play on the keyboard and/or the notes of the song data.
This parameter lets you determine which notes are used to control the har-
mony.
MUTE/PLAY When set to "MUTE," the channel selected below (to control Harmony) is
muted (turned off) during keyboard performance or song playback.
OFF/1–16 When set to "OFF," song data control over harmony is turned off. When set to
one of the values 1–16, note data (played from a Song on the Tyros3 or exter-
nal MIDI sequencer) contained on the corresponding channel is used to con-
trol the harmony.
KBD (Keyboard) OFF: Keyboard control over harmony is turned off.
UPPER: 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.
BAL. (Balance) 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 Harmony
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.
MODE (Vocal Har- All of the Vocal Harmony types fall into one of three modes, which produce
mony mode) 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] 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 controlled 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] turned on), chords played in the LEFT Voice section of
the keyboard (with the [ACMP] 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.)
CHORD 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.
VOCAL RANGE 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.
