7 Follow the steps below, depending on which Type (and sub- mode) you selected. If you selected one of the Chordal Types: The harmony of the Chordal Types can be controlled in three different ways (as explained in the VH2 Structure chart on page 82). These instructions use the first way. 7-1 Turn the [ACMP] button on. 7-2 Play and hold down chords in the chord section of the keyboard as you sing along with the accompaniment. Vocal harmonies based on your own voice are applied to your singing, according to the chords you play. NOTE If you selected a Type having an "FX" icon, your voice will be processed with effects, but may not have harmonies applied. If you selected one of the Vocoder or Vocoder-Mono Types: 7-1 Call up the SETUP window in the display by pressing the [8 ] button. 7-1 7-2 7-2 Use the [4 ]/[5 ] buttons to change the Keyboard setting (OFF, UPPER, LOWER), if necessary. Select UPPER if you want to have the Vocoder processing on your righthand-played part; select LOWER to have the Vocoder effect on your lefthand part. For more information on the Keyboard setting to control the Vocoder effect, refer to the Reference manual on the website. 7-3 Play melodies on the keyboard, and speak into the microphone as you play. You'll notice that you don't actually have to sing pitched notes. The Vocoder effect takes the words you say and applies them to the pitch of the instrument sounds. NOTE For Vocoder Types, the effect is applied to a maximum of three notes of the chord you play; for Vocoder-Mono, the effect is only applied to single notes (last note played). 84 Tyros4 Owner's Manual
