COMPRESSOR
This effect holds down the output when the input signal from the microphone exceeds a specified level. This is
useful when recording a signal with widely varying dynamics. It effectively “compresses” the signal, making soft
parts louder and loud parts softer.
SW
.............. “SW” is the abbreviation of Switch. This turns Compressor on or off.
TH.
............. “TH.” is the abbreviation of Threshold. This adjusts the input level at which compression begins to be
applied.
RATIO
........ This adjusts the compression ratio.
OUT
........... Adjusts the final output level.

VOCAL HARMONY CONTROL
The following parameters determine how the harmony is controlled.
VOCODER CONTROL
The Vocal Harmony effect is controlled by note data — the notes you play on the keyboard and/or the notes of the
song data. This parameter lets you determine which notes are used to control the harmony.
• SONG CHANNEL
MUTE/PLAY:
When set to “MUTE,” the channel selected below is muted (turned off) during keyboard performance or song
playback.
OFF:
Song data control over harmony is turned off.
1-16:
When playing back a song from disk or external MIDI sequencer, the note data recorded to the assigned song
channel controls the harmony.
• KEYBOARD
OFF:
Keyboard control over harmony is turned off.
UPPER:
Notes played to the right of the split point control the harmony.
LOWER:
Notes played to the left of the split point control the harmony.
BALANCE
This lets you set the balance between the lead vocal (your own voice) and Vocal Harmony. Raising this value
increases the volume of the Vocal Harmony and decreases that of the lead vocal. When this is set to L<H63 (L: Lead
Vocal, H: Vocal Harmony), only the Vocal Harmony is output; when it is set to L63>H, only the lead vocal is output.
MODE
All of the Vocal Harmony types fall into one of three modes which produce harmony in different ways. The harmony
effect is dependent on the selected Vocal Harmony Mode and Track, and this parameter determines how the
harmony is applied to your voice. The three modes are described below.
VOCODER:
The harmony notes are determined by the notes you play on the keyboard (Main, Layer and Left) and/ or song
data which includes Vocal Harmony tracks.
CHORDAL:
During accompaniment playback, chords played in the auto accompaniment section of the keyboard control the
harmony. During song playback, chords contained in song data control the harmony. (Not available if the song
does not contain any chord data.)
AUTO:
When the auto accompaniment or Left part is set to ON and if chord data exists in the song, the mode is
automatically set to CHORDAL. In all other cases, the mode is set to VOCODER.
CHORD
The following parameters specify the song data which will be used for chord detection.
OFF:
Chords are not detected.
XF:
Chords of XF format are detected.
1-16:
Chords are detected from note data in the specified song channel.
■
MIC (MICROPHONE)
The following parameters determine how the microphone sound is controlled.
MUTE
.............. When set to OFF, the microphone sound is turned off.
VOLUME
......... Adjusts the volume of the microphone sound.
