Effect Edit Mode
You can control the pitch of the lead voice
separately from the harmonies.
One use-
ful application would be to have melody
and harmony data on different tracks/
MIDI channels of sequencer song data —
the melody track would control the pitch
of the lead voice, while the harmony track
would control the harmonies.
This would
ensure that all vocal parts stay in tune with
each other and with the song — even if
your actual singing is slightly off pitch!
To control the pitch of the lead voice from
a connected MIDI keyboard or sequencer
(separate from the harmonies), make the
following settings:
Lead Gender Type
— “unis”, “male”, or “fem.”
Pitch Correction
— “on”
Melody Channel (page 171)
— Set to same channel as the MIDI
device.
(Match this to the melody
track of the song data.)
Harmony Channel (page 171)
— Set to different value from Melody
Channel.
(Match this to the har-
mony track of the song data.)
Plugin (PLG) — Harmony Parameters
NOTE
The Harmony Gender Type parameter is not
available when Harmony Type is set to
Detune (page 147).
Lead Gender Type (L.GendrTyp)
Settings:
off, unis (unison), male, fem.
(female)
These settings determine whether the gen-
der of the “lead” voice can be changed or
not.
It also lets you set the gender.
When
this is set to “off,” the gender of the lead
voice cannot be changed.
When this is
set to “unis” (unison), the lead voice is
reproduced at the same pitch as the voice;
however, the gender can be changed by
using the Lead Gender Depth parameter
below.
The “male” and “fem.” (female)
settings reproduce the voice with the re-
spective male or female vocal qualities.
(To finely adjust the quality of the lead
voice, use the Lead Gender Depth param-
eter below.)
NOTE
When this is set to “unis”, “male” or “fem.”,
up to two-part harmonies are provided.
Using the Lead Voice
To properly use the lead voice, make sure
to set the following parameters:
Lead Gender Type
—
“unis,” “male,” or “fem.”
Lead Gender Depth
— Set to desired/appropriate value.
Lead/Harmony Balance
— Set to appropriate value.
(For val-
ues at or near the maximum of
“L<H63,” lead may not sound.)
