This extraordinarily powerful feature uses advanced voice-processing technology to automatically pro-

duce vocal harmony based on a single lead vocal. In addition to straightforward harmony, the PSR-9000

also lets you change the apparent gender of the harmony and/or lead vocal sound. For example, if you

are a male singer, you can have the PSR-9000 automatically generate a two-part female backup. A com-

prehensive set of parameters gives you exceptionally precise and flexible control over the vocal harmony

sound.

Setting Up

Set the INPUT VOLUME control to “MIN.”

Set the MIC/LINE panel switch to “MIC 1” or “MIC 2.”

This is a gain control for the microphone input signal.

The “MIC 1” setting

boosts the signal, while the “MIC 2” setting reduces it.

Connect a microphone to the MIC/

LINE IN jack of the PSR-9000.

Adjust the INPUT VOLUME control

while singing into the microphone.

Use the SIGNAL and OVER indicators to determine the appropriate setting.

With the

INPUT VOLUME

control at the minimum, sing or talk into the

microphone at the highest expected volume.

Gradually bring the control up toward “MAX” so that the SIGNAL indicator is

lit and the OVER indicator flashes occasionally.

Then reduce the

INPUT VOLUME

just enough to keep the OVER indicator

from flashing. This should be the optimum level setting. To hear the micro-

phone input, make sure to set the “MIC” fader in the MAIN VOLUME display

to an appropriate level.

Vocal Harmony with Accompaniment Playback

Turn AUTO ACCOMPANIMENT on and start the accompani-

ment (page 20).

Press the VOCAL HARMONY [V.H.(9)] button to turn the Vocal

Harmony effect on.
