Selecting/Producing the Vocal Harmony effect
■
Vocal Harmony Parameters
Basic Procedure
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 automati-
cally.
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.
Harmony3 Volume
Sets the volume of the third harmony note.
Harmony1 Pan
Specifies the stereo (pan) position of the first harmony note. When “Random” is selected the ste-
reo 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.
Harmony3 Pan
Specifies the stereo (pan) position of the third harmony note. When “Random” is selected the ste-
reo 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.
Harmony3 Detune
Detunes the third harmony note by the specified number of cents.
Pitch to Note
When “ON” the lead vocal sound “plays” the PSR-9000 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-9000 parts will be controlled by the lead vocal when the Pitch to Note
parameter is “ON”.
