Sets the depth of vibrato applied to the harmony sound. Also affects the lead vocal sound if a Lead Gender Type is selected. Sets the speed of the vibrato effect. Specifies the length of the delay before the vibrato effect begins when a note is produced. Sets the volume of the first harmony note. Sets the volume of the second harmony note. Specifies the stereo (pan) position of the first harmony note. When "Random" is selected the stereo position of the sound will change randomly whenever the keyboard is played. Specifies the stereo (pan) position of the second harmony note. When "Random" is selected the stereo position of the sound will change randomly whenever the keyboard is played. Detunes the first harmony note by the specified number of cents. Detunes the second harmony note by the specified number of cents. This parameter only appears when a Vocoder Type is selected. When "Upper" or "Lower" is selected, notes played on the corresponding section of the keyboard specify the Vocoder harmony notes. When "ON" the lead vocal sound "plays" the PSR-8000 tone generator system (dynamics, however, are not applied). Determines which of the PSR-8000 parts will be controlled by the lead vocal when the Pitch to Note parameter is "ON". Sets the depth of the reverb effect for the harmony sound. Sets the depth of the chorus effect for the harmony sound. s The Vocal Harmony Modes ...All of the VOCAL HARMONY Types fall into one of four basic categories - "modes" - which produce harmony in different ways. The mode of the selected Type also determines the values available for the Type parameter in the EFFECT TYPE PARAMETER display. Depending on the mode of the selected Type, the Type parameter name will appear on the display as "Chordal Type", "VocoderType", "DetuneType", or "ChromaticType". 85

Lead Gender

Adjusts the degree of lead vocal gender change produced when one of the Lead Gender Types (above)

is selected.

Lead Pitch

When “Correct” is selected the pitch of the lead vocal is shifted in precise semitone increments. This

parameter is only effective when one of the Lead Gender Types is selected.

Auto Upper

Gender change will occur when the harmony pitch reaches or exceeds the specified number of

semitones above the lead vocal pitch.

Auto Lower

Gender change will occur when the harmony pitch reaches or exceeds the specified number of

semitones below the lead vocal pitch.

Upper Gender

Adjusts the degree of gender change applied to harmony notes higher than the Auto Upper Gender

Threshold.

Lower Gender

Adjusts the degree of gender change applied to harmony notes lower than the Auto Lower Gender

Threshold.

Lead/Harmony

Sets the balance between the lead vocal and harmony.

Vibrato Depth

Sets the depth of vibrato applied to the harmony sound. Also affects the lead vocal sound if a Lead

Gender Type is selected.

Vibrato Rate

Sets the speed of the vibrato effect.

Vibrato Delay

Specifies the length of the delay before the vibrato effect begins when a note is produced.

Harmony1 Volume

Sets the volume of the first harmony note.

Harmony2 Volume

Sets the volume of the second harmony note.

Harmony1 Pan

Specifies the stereo (pan) position of the first harmony note. When “Random” is selected the stereo

position of the sound will change randomly whenever the keyboard is played.

Harmony2 Pan

Specifies the stereo (pan) position of the second harmony note. When “Random” is selected the stereo

position of the sound will change randomly whenever the keyboard is played.

Harmony1 Detune

Detunes the first harmony note by the specified number of cents.

Harmony2 Detune

Detunes the second harmony note by the specified number of cents.

Harmony Part

This parameter only appears when a Vocoder Type is selected. When “Upper” or “Lower” is selected,

notes played on the corresponding section of the keyboard specify the Vocoder harmony notes.

Pitch to Note

When “ON” the lead vocal sound “plays” the PSR-8000 tone generator system (dynamics, however, are

not applied).

Pitch to Note Part

Determines which of the PSR-8000 parts will be controlled by the lead vocal when the Pitch to Note

parameter is “ON”.

Harmony Reverb

Sets the depth of the reverb effect for the harmony sound.

Harmony Chorus

Sets the depth of the chorus effect for the harmony sound.

The Vocal Harmony Modes

...............................................................................................................................................

All of the VOCAL HARMONY Types fall into one of four basic categories — “modes” — which produce harmony

in different ways. The mode of the selected Type also determines the values available for the Type parameter in the

EFFECT TYPE PARAMETER

display. Depending on the mode of the selected Type, the Type parameter name will

appear on the display as “

Chordal Type

”, “

VocoderType

”, “

DetuneType

”, or “

ChromaticType

”.
