Detail Setting
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 authen-
tic-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 “Response” of the Mic Setting display
(
page 94
).
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.

mony Parameter List) on the website.
