FIXED INTERVAL

One or a number of voices are added to the note sung at fixed intervals, regardless of the recognised chord. If set in this mode, the Vocalizer
works as a common Pitch Shifter. The F9 Vocalize Lead function can always be activated and allows you to double the note sung with a voice
generated in unison.
The following algorithms are available for Fixed Interval:
Unison: This generates a voice in unison with the note sung. If F9 Vocalize is On, the note sung is doubled in unison.
Octave Up: This generates a voice in the octave above the note sung. If F9 Vocalize is On, the note sung is doubled in unison.
Octave Down: This generates a voice in the octave below the note sung. If F9 Vocalize is On, the note sung is doubled in unison.
Octave Up/Down: This generates one voice in the octave above and one voice in the octave below the note sung. If F9 Vocalize is On, the note
sung is doubled in unison.
Lead+Octa. Down: This generates one voice in the octave below and one voice in unison with the note sung. If F9 Vocalize is On, the note sung
is doubled in unison.
Lead+Octa. Up: This generates one voice in the octave above and one voice in unison with the note sung. If F9 Vocalize is On, the note sung is
doubled in unison.
5Th Down: This generates one voice in the fifth below the note sung. If F9 Vocalize is On, the note sung is doubled in unison.
5th Up: This generates one voice in the fifth above the note sung. If F9 Vocalize is On, the note sung is doubled in unison.
Lead+5Th Down:This generates one voice in the fifth below and one in unison with the note sung. If F9 Vocalize is On, the note sung is doubled
in unison..
Lead+5Th Up: This generates one voice in the fifth above and one in unison with the note sung. If F9 Vocalize is On, the note sung is doubled
in unison..
3Th Up: This generates one voice in the third major above the note sung. If F9 Vocalize is On, the note sung is doubled in unison.

VOCAL EFFECTS

The twelve algorithms of this mode are designed to modify the voice in an amusing and unexpected way. As soon as you select one of these
algorithms, the direct microphone signal is muted to better hear the effect. You may restore it pressing F1 Direct and the VALUE +/- push but-
tons. Just try and listen to these algorithms: this will be better than any description. The algorithm parameters can be modified using F7 Filter
and can be saved in a Vocal Set.

SAVING A VOCAL SET IN RAM

Once you have modified any of the Vocal Set parameters, you need to store it in one of the twelve memories available to avoid losing them when
you exit Vocalizer Edit or switch the SD1 off. To activate the saving operation, press the SAVE/ENTER push button before exiting Vocalizer Edit.
The page displayed allows you to enter the name of the Vocal Set using the keys of the keyboard and the CURSOR +/- push buttons, as well as
to define the destination memory entering directly the relevant number on the numeric keypad (STYLES push buttons). Then press F10 Exec
to confirm. If you wish to cancel the operation, press F5 Escape which takes you back to the Vocalizer Edit page without storing the modifi-
cations, that are still active, however. Another option available on the Save page is F9 Default: Pressing this button takes the Vocal set back to
its original settings.
SAVING A VOCAL SET ON DISK
The whole group of twelve Vocal Set memories can be saved either on a floppy disk or on a hard disk. Only the complete group of Vocal sets
can be saved, but not the single ones. Proceed as follows:
Activate the DISK menu by pressing the special button, the LED lights up
Use PAGE +/- to select the target disk among Hard and Floppy
If the Hard Disk displays the list of Midifile stored, press F5 Folder Choice and any of the function buttons except for F1 Midifile, and the
display shows the contents of the selected folder.
Press F3 Save to activate the saving function.
Select the type of file to be saved, in this case F7 Sound & Vocal.
Select F5 Voc from the page appearing next.
This displays a new page where you have to enter the name of the file to be saved, using the keyboard keys and the CURSOR +/- buttons,
and confirm the operation pressing F10 Exec. Press F5 Escape to exit.
After having terminated the operation, the display shows the contents of the target folder which will be automatically chosen if the MASTER
FOLDER has been activated.
Press EXIT twice to go back to the main page.
LOADING A VOCAL SET FROM THE DISK
You may load the complete group of twelve Vocal Sets back from the disk using the following procedure:
Activate the DISK menu by pressing the special button, the LED lights up.
