Split Point The harmony is applied to your voice according to the chord you play. Try out various chords. Chord section • If you experience distorted or outof-tune sound from the Vocal Harmony feature, your vocal microphone may be picking up extraneous sounds (other than your voice) - the Style playback sound from the TYROS, for example. In particular, bass sounds can cause mistracking of the Vocal Harmony feature. The solution to this problem is to ensure that as little extraneous sound as possible is picked up by your vocal microphone: • Sing as closely to the microphone as possible. • Use a uni-directional microphone. • Turn down the MASTER VOLUME, STYLE volume or SONG volume control. I Vocal Harmony Chords Vocal Harmony is triggered by the chords you play. In the example instructions above, the chords played in the style chord section of the keyboard are used to trigger the Vocal Harmony. Depending on the Harmony Mode setting and the particular application, different chords can be used to trigger Vocal Harmony (as listed below). For details, see page 133.
