F8 Vocalize To Arranger:

the buttons controlling the Arranger may be assigned a different algorithm to be chosen among those available for
the harmonisation mode selected in

F3 Modes

. In the centre of the display the Start, Stop, Arrange A, B, C, D, Fill 1, 2,

3 and Break sections can be selected with the

buttons, and one of the available algorithms can be

assigned to them acting on the

VALUE +/-

buttons. Pressing again the

F8 Vocalize To Arranger

button takes you

back to the

Vocalizer

menu. The algorithms assigned to the Arrange A, B, C, D buttons are still valid while replaying a

Midi file or a Song. This allows you to instantly call up a different voice algorithm. The

F10 Status

parameter must be

set on

Internal

to avoid confusion or errors, i.e. to avoid that the Vocalizer is controlled by a MIDI track. Further to

assigning an algorithm, you may also select the

Off

condition which will disable the Vocalizer for this specific button

only. If neither an algorithm nor the 'Off' condition is selected, two dashes will indicate that for this specific button
the general Vocalizer conditions apply. Vocal Set 1, called up when the Vocalizer is activated, assigns Arrange A and C
the Harmony Right mode, and Arrange B and D the Unison mode by default.

F9 Vocalize Lead On:

This is present only on the first ten algorithms of the Automatic Chord 1 and Fixed Interval mode. It tunes the third
voice generated by the Vocalizer in unison with the singer voice. It is deactivated by pressing the

F9 Vocalize Lead

function key again.

F10 Status:

pressing repeatedly the

F10

button modifies the Vocalizer status switching from

Active

Internal

None

Inactive

“

Active

” indicates that the Vocalizer is active and able to receive data from the keyboard, via MIDI and from the

sequencer. “

Internal

” assures that the Vocalizer is controlled only by the keyboard and by the algorithms assigned to

the control buttons of the Arranger, and not via MIDI and not via the sequencer. “

None

” completely deactivates the

VEGA Vocalizer but still transmits the information for the Vocalizer control to the MIDI Out, to be able to control a sim-
ilar external unit. “

Inactive

” deactivates the Vocalizer control via the keyboard, but not via MIDI.

HARMONISATION MODES AND DESCRIPTION OF THE ALGORITHMS

After you have selected a harmonisation mode using

F3 Modes

, at the centre of the screen the relevant algorithms you can select using the

push buttons are displayed. Following is a short description of the single algorithms for each mode:

AUTOMATIC CHORD 1

The voices added by the Vocalizer depend on the chord recognised on the keyboard area to the left of the splint point, independently from its
inversion, and on the note sung, of which the intonation and the inversion, if any, will be determined according to the recognised chord. If the
note sung is extraneous to the chord, this note will not be reproduced by the Vocalizer but will be present as a direct audio signal. In this case
the Vocalizer reproduces a voice with a note that is as close as possible to the note sung, but compatible with the chord. If the note sung belongs
to the chord, the Vocalizer creates the harmonisation as a function of this note, producing the single inversions. The single algorithms can vary
the position of the note sung within the chord and can place it to the centre, on the third or on the fifth. Modifying the note sung can, as a con-
sequence, also cause the inversions to change. The following algorithms are available for Automatic Chord 1:

Trio Standard:

This maintains the note sung in the centre of the chord. If the Vocalize Lead is active (On), the note sung is doubled.

Trio Up:

This maintains the note sung in the bass of the chord. If the Vocalize Lead is active (On), the note sung is doubled.

Trio Down:

This maintains the note sung in the treble, generating the two voices under it. If the Vocalize Lead is active (On), the
note sung is doubled.

Trio Octa 1:

This maintains the note sung in the centre, with the keynote of the chord always in the bass. If the Vocalize Lead is
active (On), the note sung is doubled.

Trio Octa 2:

This performs a third above the note sung and doubles the note sung in the higher octave. If the Vocalize Lead is active
(On), the note sung is doubled.

Trio Octa 3:

This performs a third above and the unison with the note sung and doubles the note sung in the lower octave. If the
Vocalize Lead is active (On), the note sung is doubled.
