Using Synth Vocoder - Yamaha Tyros4 Owner's Manual

Using Synth Vocoder

These are special effects that graft the characteristics of your voice onto synthesizer and other sounds, for unusual
machine‐like or robotic effects, as well as unique choir sounds, which you can control with your own singing and play-
ing. Here's how you can use them.
1
Execute steps 1–3 in "Using Vocal Harmony" on page 83.
2
From the Vocal Harmony Type Selection display, use the TAB
[][] buttons to select the SYNTH VOCODER tab.
3
Use the [A]–[J] buttons to select the desired Synth Vocoder
type.
4
If necessary, press the [VOCAL HARMONY] button to turn the
function on.
5
Try holding down a note on the keyboard and speak or sing
into the microphone.
Also, try changing notes as you say/sing different words, hitting a separate note for
each word.
