Vocal Harmony – Adding Harmony Vocals and Synth Vocoder to Your Singing
Editing the Part Tab Parameters
The parameters are arranged in a matrix.
Use the [A]–[E] buttons to select the desired parameter, then edit each vocal part (Lead,
Harmony 1, 2, 3) by using [3

]–[8

] buttons or sliders.
For information on each parameter, see below.
TRANSPOSE (selected by [A] button)
Determines the pitch transposition for each part. The range for all parts is the same; however, the lead vocal sound
can only be adjusted in octaves. When the Chordal Type is set to ScaleDiatonic, this parameter changes to Degree.
When Pitch Correct is set to Off, the Lead part is not available. When the Vocoder or Vocoder-Mono mode is
selected, the Harmony parts are not available.
TRANSPOSE Settings
Lead: -3 octaves – +3 octaves
Harmony 1, 2, 3: -36 semitones – +36 semitones
DEGREE Settings
Lead: -3 octaves – +3 octaves
Harmony 1, 2, 3: -3 octaves (-22 scale degrees) – Unison – +3 octaves (+22 scale degrees)
DETUNE (selected by [B] button)
Determines the fine pitch setting for each part. Adjust this to produce a warm chorusing effect, or to achieve a nat-
ural, less-than-perfect vocal sound. When the Pitch Correct is set to Off, the Lead part is not available.
Settings:
-50 cents – +50 cents
FORMANT (selected by [C] button)
Determines the formant setting for each part. This parameter can be used to finely change the character of the
vocal sound. The higher the value, the more “feminine” the harmony voice becomes. The lower the value, the more
“masculine” the voice. When the Pitch Correct is set to Off, the Lead part is not available.
Settings:
-62 – +62
PAN (selected by [D] button)
Determines the pan position setting for each part. Setting each vocal part to a different pan position, with the lead
vocal at center, for example, results in a naturally wide stereo sound.
Settings:
L63 (Left) – C (Center) – R63 (Right)
VOLUME (selected by [E] button)
Determines the volume setting for each part. Use this to adjust the relative level balance among the vocal parts.
Settings:
0–127
PITCH CORRECT MODE (set by [7

]–[8

] buttons)
Determines how the Pitch Correct affects your voice. For information on each parameter, refer to the Data List on
the website.
Settings:
OFF, SOFT1, SOFT2, HARD
