Adjusting the Microphone and Harmony Sound • MODE All of the Vocal Harmony types fall into one of three modes, which produce 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. 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 (page 189). 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. Normal Normal setting Low Setting for lower voice. This setting is also appropriate for growl- ing and shouting. High Setting for higher voice. This setting is also appropriate for singing close to the microphone. ■ MIC The following parameters determine how the microphone sound is controlled. • MUTE When set to ON, the microphone sound is turned off. • VOLUME Adjusts the output volume of the microphone sound.
