About Mic Harmonies
Many of the mic harmonies rely upon chord information generated by the Auto-Accompaniment style system. For
these harmonies to operate, the ACC button music be ON. Other harmonies do not rely on the Auto-Accompaniment
system for chordal information. These harmonies will operate whether or not the ACC is ON.
Non-Chordal Harmonies
These harmonies do not rely on chordal information from the ACC system. They include the Vocoder, Gender, Octave,
Double, and Lead Substitution harmonies. In the case of the Vocoder, the harmonies created are taken from the notes
actually played on the keyboard, or the notes actually found in a chosen sequencer track.
Use the EDIT button to choose the KEYBOARD or SEQUENCER TRACK to use as the harmony source.
The Gender Male to Female and Gender Female to Male harmonies actually change the pitch and quality of your voice
as indicated by the harmony names. The various Octave harmonies add a voice up or down as indicated by the harmony
names.
The Double harmonies add a recording studio quality effect to your voice to make it thicker and smoother sounding. The
effect is similar to the “double-tracking” vocal technique performed in professional recordings. The Lead Substitution
harmony replaces your voice with one that has been pitch-corrected.
Chordal Harmonies
All other harmonies rely on chordal information from the Auto-Accompaniment system to operate. If the ACC button is
ON, then you will hear harmony based upon the note that you are singing, chord you are playing and the harmony that is
chosen. The active chord will be indicated in the upper left-hand portion of the display. You can play chords in the Single
Finger, Fingered, or Whole Kybd Modes of the ACCOMPANIMENT system.
Duet Harmonies create one harmony note in addition to the lead note. Trio harmonies create two harmony notes in addition
to the lead note. Quartet harmonies create three harmony notes in addition to the lead note. Octave Duet harmonies
create one harmony note and one octave note in addition to the lead note.
The lead note will be your own voice, unless the harmony name contains the word (Sub). In this case, your voice will be
substituted with one that is pitch-corrected.
Note:
If you have chosen a chordal harmony but do not turn on the ACC ON/OFF button, the instrument will substitute the
Vocoder harmony. Once you turn on the ACC ON/OFF button, the harmony will switch to the one you have actually
chosen.
