Chromatic
Chromatic mode does not require the Studio Vocalist EX’s intelligent har-
mony because the harmony notes always remain a fixed interval away
from the input note. This harmony type is used in programs that feature
unison, octave, or fifth interval harmonies. You do not need to enter key
information when you load Chromatic harmony programs.
Use:
Chromatic Harmony is good for fattening up a vocal (live or record-
ed, solo or group) by doubling the Lead with unison Harmonies, and
octave up or down harmonies.
For examples
of Chromatic harmony, choose any of Programs 1 through 8.
Pitch Correct
Pitch Correct mode is not intended for harmony. It offers you a method of
manipulating a singer’s pitch when needed. The Studio Vocalist EX has
ten programs dedicated to Pitch Correction.
Use:
Pitch Correct is used to force an out-of-tune vocal performance into
the correct pitch. Use it to “rescue” a recorded track where the performance
is good but some of the notes are out of tune.
For examples
of Pitch Correct, choose Programs 51 through 60. The pro-
gram list at the beginning of this manual provides more tips on setup.
Changing Harmonies with the Softkeys
The softkeys below the LCD are offered in factory programs that are based
on Scalic and Chordal harmony. All other factory programs feature one
softkey selection only. The top left softkey assignment is automatically
loaded when you change programs.
In the Scalic harmony programs (#36 to 45) the softkeys allow you to
select different Major or Minor scales to provide the correct harmony for
your song. These scales have subtle differences that make a harmony
sound acceptable or not. Once you have entered the key of your song with
the front panel keyboard, you can try each scale to determine which is cor-
rect.
In the Chordal harmony programs (#16 to 25) the softkeys allow you to
select chord types. While this more easily done with a MIDI keyboard, the
softkeys allow easy access if no keyboard is available.
See “Harmony Editing” on page 26 for changing softkey assignments and
creating new harmony styles.
