Using a Microphone - MIC. This extraordinarily powerful feature uses advanced voice-processing technology to automatically produce vocal harmony based on a single lead vocal. Four distinct harmony modes as well as an extensive selection of preset harmony types are provided. In addition to straightforward harmony, the CVP-900 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 CVP-900 automatically generate a two-part female backup. A comprehensive set of parameters gives you exceptionally precise and ﬂexible control over the vocal harmony sound. MIC. SIGNAL VOCAL HARMONY OVER TALK EFFECT VH TYPE SELECT MIC.
