Vocal Harmony Parameter List
Chordal Type/Vocoder Type Determines how the harmony notes are applied.
Harmony Gender Type Can be set to “Off” or “Auto”. When “Auto”, the gender of the harmony sound is changed automatically.
Lead Gender Type Determines whether and how the gender of the lead vocal sound (i.e., the direct microphone sound) will be
changed. When “Off” no gender change occurs. When ”Unison”, “Male” or “Female” is selected the
corresponding gender change is applied to the lead vocal. (In this case the number of harmony notes which
can be produced in addition to the lead vocal is reduced to one.)
Lead Gender Depth Adjusts the degree of lead vocal gender change produced when one of the Lead Gender Types (above) is
selected.
Lead Pitch Correction When “Correct” is selected the pitch of the lead vocal is shifted in precise semitone steps. This parameter is
only effective when one of the Lead Gender Types is selected.
Auto Upper Gender Threshold Gender change will occur when the harmony pitch reaches or exceeds the specified number of semitones
above the lead vocal pitch.
Auto Lower Gender Threshold Gender change will occur when the harmony pitch reaches or exceeds the specified number of semitones
below the lead vocal pitch.
Upper Gender Depth Adjusts the degree of gender change applied to harmony notes higher than the Auto Upper Gender
Threshold.
Lower Gender Depth Adjusts the degree of gender change applied to harmony notes lower than the Auto Lower Gender
Threshold.
Vibrato Depth Sets the depth of vibrato applied to the harmony sound. Also affects the lead vocal sound if a Lead Gender
Type is selected.
Vibrato Rate Sets the speed of the vibrato effect.
Vibrato Delay Specifies the length of the delay before the vibrato effect begins when a note is produced.
Harmony1 Volume Sets the volume of the first harmony note.
Harmony2 Volume Sets the volume of the second harmony note.
Harmony1 Pan Specifies the stereo (pan) position of the first harmony note. When “Random” is selected the stereo position
of the sound will change randomly whenever the keyboard is played.
Harmony2 Pan Specifies the stereo (pan) position of the second harmony note. When “Random” is selected the stereo
position of the sound will change randomly whenever the keyboard is played.
Harmony1 Detune Detunes the first harmony note by the specified number of cents.
Harmony2 Detune Detunes the second harmony note by the specified number of cents.
Pitch to Note When “ON” the lead vocal sound “plays” the PSR-2100 tone generator system. (However, dynamic changes
in the vocal sound do not affect the volume of the tone generator.)
Pitch to Note Part Determines which of the PSR-2100 parts will be controlled by the lead vocal when the Pitch to Note
parameter is “ON”.
