Off The gender of the harmony sound is not changed. Auto The gender of the harmony sound is changed automactically. Determines whether and how the gender of the lead vocal sound (i.e., the direct microphone sound) will be changed. Please note that the number of harmony notes differs depending on the selected type. When set to Off, three harmony notes are produced. Other settings produce two harmony notes. Off No gender change occurs. Unison No gender change occurs. You can adjust the LEAD GENDER DEPTH below. Male The corresponding gender change is applied to the lead vocal. Female The corresponding gender change is applied to the lead vocal. Adjusts the degree of lead vocal gender change. This is available when the LEAD GENDER TYPE above is set to other than Off. The higher the value, the more "feminine" the harmony voice becomes. The lower the value, the more "masculine" the voice. When "Correct" is selected the pitch of the lead vocal is shifted in precise semitone steps. This parameter is only effective when the LEAD GENDER TYPE above is set to other than Off. Gender change will occur when the harmony pitch reaches or exceeds the specified number of semitones above the lead vocal pitch. Gender change will occur when the harmony pitch reaches or exceeds the specified number of semitones below the lead vocal pitch. Adjusts the degree of gender change applied to harmony notes higher than the UPPER GENDER THRESHOLD. The higher the value, the more "feminine" the harmony voice becomes. The lower the value, the more "masculine" the voice. Adjusts the degree of gender change applied to harmony notes lower than the LOWER GENDER THRESHOLD. The higher the value, the more "feminine" the harmony voice becomes. The lower the value, the more "masculine" the voice. Sets the depth of vibrato applied to the harmony sound. Also affects the lead vocal sound when the LEAD GENDER TYPE above is set to other than Off. Sets the speed of the vibrato effect. Also affects the lead vocal sound when the LEAD GENDER TYPE above is set to other than Off. Specifies the length of the delay before the vibrato effect begins when a note is produced. Higher values result in a longer delay. Sets the volume of the first/second/third harmony note. Specifies the stereo (pan) position of the first/second/third harmony note. Random The stereo position of the sound will change randomly whenever the keyboard is played. -63 - 0 - +63 A setting of -63 pans the sound hard left, while 0 is at center, and +63 is at hard right. Detunes the first/second/third harmony note by the specified number of cents. When this is set to "ON," you can "play" the voices of the TYROS with your voice. (The TYROS tracks the pitch of your voice and converts it to note data for the tone generator. Keep in mind, however, that dynamic changes in your voice do not affect the volume of the tone generator.) Determines which of the TYROS parts will be controlled by the lead vocal when the Pitch to Note parameter is "ON." 131 TYROS Owner's Manual 129
