e (When the Mode is set to "Chordal") Chord Source Determines which data or event of a Song will be used for chord detection. • Off: Disables chord detection from the Song data. • XF: Chord data defined via XF will be used. • 1-16: Detects a chord from notes of the MIDI channel specified here. NOTE The Vocal Harmony may not work properly regardless of the setting here depending on the Song data, since the selected Song may contain no chord data or insufficient note data for chord detection. Type Determines how the harmony notes are applied to the microphone sound by selecting one of the Chordal Types. Almost all Types apply the harmony notes based on the chord specified via the left hand section of the keyboard, chord section of the keyboard, or the Song data, with the exception of the following two Types. • ScaleDiatonic: This generates harmony notes based on the Key Root and Key Type specified in the Harmony Assign display (u), meaning that the harmony notes do not depend on the chord but match the diatonic scale of the current song's key signature. • Parallel: This adds a note to the lead note (microphone sound) with the interval specified at y, regardless of the chord. NOTE "Abv" in the Chordal Type List means that the harmony notes are generated above the lead note (microphone sound) while "Blw" means that the harmony notes are generated below the lead note. For more information about the Chordal Types, refer to the Data List (Vocal Harmony Parameter List) on the website. r (When the Mode is set to "Vocoder" or "Vocoder-Mono") Song Ch When set to one of 1-16, note data (played from a Song on this instrument or the connected computer) of the corresponding channel is used to control the harmony. When set to "Off," Song data control over harmony is turned off. Part When set to "Mute," the channel selected above (to control Harmony) is muted (turned off) during Song playback, allowing you to disable control via specific channels as desired. Keyboard • Off: Keyboard control over harmony is turned off. • Upper: Notes played to the right of the Split Point (Left) control the harmony. • Lower: Notes played to the left of the Split Point (Left) control the harmony. 8 NOTE When the settings of both keyboard performance and Song data are applied, those settings are merged to control the harmony. t Balance Lets you set the balance between the lead vocal (the microphone sound) and Vocal Harmony sound. Raising this value increases the volume of the Vocal Harmony and decreases that of the lead vocal. When this is set to LH, only the lead vocal is output.

Microphone
e
(When the Mode is set to “Chordal”)
Chord Source
Determines which data or event of a Song will be used for chord detection.
•
Off:
Disables chord detection from the Song data.
•
XF:
Chord data defined via XF will be used.
•
1–16:
Detects a chord from notes of the MIDI channel specified here.
Type
Determines how the harmony notes are applied to the microphone sound by selecting one of the
Chordal Types. Almost all Types apply the harmony notes based on the chord specified via the left
hand section of the keyboard, chord section of the keyboard, or the Song data, with the exception
of the following two Types.
•
ScaleDiatonic:
This generates harmony notes based on the Key Root and Key Type specified in
the Harmony Assign display (
u
), meaning that the harmony notes do not depend on the chord
but match the diatonic scale of the current song’s key signature.
•
Parallel:
This adds a note to the lead note (microphone sound) with the interval specified at
y
,
regardless of the chord.
For more information about the Chordal Types, refer to the Data List (Vocal Harmony Parameter
List) on the website.
r
(When the Mode is set to “Vocoder” or “Vocoder-Mono”)
Song Ch
When set to one of 1–16, note data (played from a Song on this instrument or the connected com-
puter) of the corresponding channel is used to control the harmony. When set to “Off,” Song data
control over harmony is turned off.
Part
When set to “Mute,” the channel selected above (to control Harmony) is muted (turned off) during
Song playback, allowing you to disable control via specific channels as desired.
Keyboard
•
Off:
Keyboard control over harmony is turned off.
•
Upper:
Notes played to the right of the Split Point (Left) control the harmony.
•
Lower:
Notes played to the left of the Split Point (Left) control the harmony.
t
Balance
Lets you set the balance between the lead vocal (the microphone sound) and Vocal Harmony
sound. Raising this value increases the volume of the Vocal Harmony and decreases that of the lead
vocal. When this is set to L<H63 (L: Lead Vocal, H: Vocal Harmony), only the Vocal Harmony is
output; when it is set to L63>H, only the lead vocal is output.
The Vocal Harmony may not work properly regardless of the setting here depending on the Song data, since the selected
Song may contain no chord data or insufficient note data for chord detection.
NOTE
“Abv” in the Chordal Type List means that the harmony notes are generated above the lead note (microphone sound) while
“Blw” means that the harmony notes are generated below the lead note.
NOTE
When the settings of both keyboard performance and Song data are applied, those settings are merged to control the har-
mony.
