General
The DecaBuddy mixes up to 9 voice sound in addition, to the original 1 voice sound. That’s where the name
deca (Deca=10) comes from.
From the monaural vocal signal input, up to 4 harmony voices are generated and the unison voices for the
original voice and 4 harmony voices can be generated. The harmonies can, of course, be layered using the
preset programs and the programs can be edited to create the harmony customized to the song you play.
You can also layer the harmonies using the MIDI signal or play it via MIDI.
