Vocal Harmony Settings  Harmony Assign Detail Setting Lets you set how the Harmony notes are assigned or voiced to the Lead note (microphone sound). For details, refer to the "MIDI Reference" (Vocal Harmony Parameter List) on the website.  When the Harmony mode is set to "Chordal" • Session Table: Determines how the harmonies will be voiced, or what type of chord will be used in creating the harmonies, according to different musical styles. NOTE This parameter is available only when the Chordal Type is set to something other than ScaleDiatonic or Parallel. • Key Root, Key Type: When the Chordal Type () is set to "ScaleDiatonic," this parameter is available. Harmony notes based on the settings here do not depend on the chord but match the diatonic scale of the current song's key signature.  When the Harmony mode is set to "Vocoder" or "Vocoder-Mono" • Transpose Mode: Determines the amount by which the harmony parts are transposed. A setting of "0" results in no transposition, while the "Auto" setting results in automatic transposition. • Pitch Correct Mode: Corrects the pitch of the Lead note (microphone sound). "Off " does not correct while "Hard" corrects the pitch most accurately. • Humanize: This setting allows you to make the Vocal Harmony sounds more natural and less "electronic," by introducing slight time discrepancies between the Lead and Harmony notes. Off: No Humanize effect. 1: The Humanize effect is applied to the Harmony to create a more natural feel, with an authentic-sounding widening effect, giving the impression of more people singing. 2: The Humanize effect is applied to the Harmony to produce a more distinct groove. Even faster passages retain their rhythmic essence. 3: The Humanize effect is applied to the Harmony to reflect the way in which the lead vocalist and back chorus interact, with the lead vocal out front, and the timing slightly relaxed. • Lead Pitch Detect Speed, Harm Pitch Detect Speed: Determines how fast the pitch of the Lead note and the harmony notes are detected in response to the signal via the microphone. "1" responds most slowly, "4" is standard, "15" responds most quickly, and "as MIC SETTING" gives priority to the speed specified at the Pitch Detect "Speed" of the Microphone Setting display (page 26). • Harmony Effect: Determines the Effect type applied to the Harmony notes added to the Lead note. • Harmony Stability: Determines the stability degree to which the Harmony is applied to the Lead note. When set to "Stable," this has a relatively stable sound with little harmony motion. When set to "Dynamic," this tends to add harmony with motion according to the input sound. • Lead Vibrato Depth: This specifies the vibrato depth of the lead sound. • Harm Vibrato Depth: This specifies the vibrato depth of the harmony sound. • Vibrato Speed: This specifies the vibrato speed of both the lead and harmony sounds. • Vibrato Delay: This specifies the vibrato delay of both the lead and harmony sounds. For more information about the parameters of Detail Settings, refer to "MIDI Reference" (Vocal Harmony Parameter List) on the website.  Effect Lets you edit the parameters related to the Effects applied to the Vocal Harmony notes.  Effect On/Off Turns on or off the Effects applied to the Vocal Harmony notes.  Type Selects the Effect type applied to the Vocal Harmony notes. You can edit also the detailed parameters of the selected type. For information about the Vocal Harmony Effect types, refer to the "Data List" (Vocal Effect Type List). For information about the Vocal Harmony Effect parameters, refer to the "MIDI Reference" (Vocal Harmony Parameter List) on the website. To Lead Adjusts the Effect depth applied to the Lead note.
