designed to be useful at middle values but you can add
or remove vibrato as you like.
V1 to V4 PORTA
Each voice has its own Portamento time. Portamento is a
delayed response to the pitch movement of your singing
voice. It is also referred to as “Glide” in synthesizers.
The range of values equals approximately how long the
upwards or downwards slide will take to reach each new
note. Setting each voice to different values greatly assists
the illusion of other singers singing with you.
V1 to V5 SMOOTHING
At low values, Smoothing acts like pitch correction for
the harmony voices. With the voices corrected like this,
some Portamento is usually required to help soften note
to note transitions unless a robot-like effect is desired.
Higher values offer progressively less correction. Like
Portamento, setting each voice with a unique value of
the Smoothing parameter helps the harmonies sound
more natural. When NATURALPLAY is set to MIDI
NOTES, high values of smoothing will sound out of tune.
GUITAR CHORDS
This parameter changes the harmony note response
to DOM7 guitar chords only. At the default setting;
ACCEPT DOM7, whenever you play a dominant 7th
chord and the combination of your singing note and
harmony voicing is set to produce a 7th harmony, you’ll
hear the 7th.
In a song composed largely of DOM7 chords, it’s not
that easy to sing a melody composed of all of the 7ths
and thus, many harmony singers move to the chord
root instead. Broadly speaking, this is also a difference
between a “Pop” sounding harmony and a more
“Bluesy” harmony sound. This is what the IGNORE
DOM7 setting does.
HOLD REL
Hold Rel (Hold Release) varies the amount of time it
takes for any notes held with the Hold feature to decay.
This makes for a more natural release. Note that no new
harmony notes will sound until the time you set with this
parameter has elapsed.
