Please feel free to experiment with a parameter.
Certain parameters will work together. For
example, with the Pitch Correction ON – the VH
will force the ‘lead’ voice to the pitch you play on
the keyboard when you select a Lead Gender
Type, male/female. The Threshold parameters will
set sensitivity for the male or female, or upper
and lower voices.
Keep in mind how you ‘shape’ your words (shape
of the mouth), the register of your voices and
volume that you speak or sing into the
microphone, all determine the results of the
synthesized voice(s). This allows endless and
unique performance possibilities.

EXAMPLE 3
This next example will use the PLG100-VH’s
CHORDAL harmony type and setup for a
SONG/PATTERN Mix. It is virtually the same. If
you are applying this effect to a MIX that already
exists skip step 1.
To do this:
1>Initialize a SONG Mix or PATTERN Mix:
•
Press [MIXING].
•
Push [JOB]. Select the Initialize job [F1].
•
Push [ENTER] and then push [INC/YES]
2>Select the Source Input Level:
•
Press [EDIT]/ then [COMMON]
•
Press [F5] AUDIO IN to make and verify
microphone settings.
•
Set the VOLUME = 127. Adjust the signal
“gain” level by turning the small GAIN
knob (located next to the left input jack).
•
Set the MONO/STEREO input to “L mono”
(we are using the Left input jack). This
will place your voice in the center of the
mix.
•
Set any Reverb and Chorus effects or pan
position to taste.
•
Output Select: You can route your vocal to
the regular stereo L&R or to any available
assignable outputs (with the vocal effect).
3>Applying the PLG100-VH:
•
Press [F6] EFFECTS/ [SF1] CONNECT. The
PLG100-VH is an effect processor and logically
this is where you will program all of its
parameters.
•
In the upper left corner of the screen you will
see an Input reserved for the PLG-EF or
Plug-In Effect Processor. The VH! It reads
“off’ initially. Move the cursor down to
highlight the word “off”.
•
Use the Data Wheel to set the EFFECT PART
as “PART AD” (your Microphone)
•
Highlight the PLG-EF box to view the various
VH board modes: select Chordal HM. Use the
Data Wheel to make selections.
In general, the Chordal Type will allow you to
simply play the chords and have the Harmony
effect - automatically sort out the suitable notes.
Select the parts that the synth voice will create:
duet, trio, above, above & below, below, etc.
The same setup method can be applied for using
DETUNE and CHROMATIC types.
Additional settings can be altered within all of the
Harmony Types to change the type of voicing of
the harmonization, gender type of the harmonies,
and detuning, transposition and pitch correction
parameters.
You must name and save the PERFORMANCE or
the MIX you used to retain these changes. Backup
your data in an ALL Data file to an optional
SmartMedia Card or USB storage device.
Performance data can be stored in the ALL data
type file (.w7a), or bulked to an external device as
system exclusive data. Song/Pattern Mixes can be
stored in the ALL data type file or bulked to an
external device as well. In general, your
Performance data will remain in memory even
after power down but you should back up all data
as a good habit.
Can I record the Vocal Harmony in the Motif
ES Integrated Sampling Sequencer?
You can record any of the Insertion Effects in the
Motif ES including your vocal using the Vocal
Harmony board, directly. Simply setup the Vocal
Harmony effect you want to use, go to Integrated
Sampling mode set the input to A/D and your
sampling through the VH Effect. What you hear is
what you get… You can also apply the powerful
DUAL INSERTION EFFECTS to the AD input (it can

If you are applying the VH effect to a sample audio
track you would dial up the PART 01~16 here and apply
it.
