Fig. 172b. VOCALIZER – Vocalizer to Arranger
Now below each Arranger button is the box displaying the current vocalizer setting that
will be heard when that Arranger button is on. Touch each box and select from the drop-
down menu which harmonizer setting you want each arranger button to use when active.
When done, your screen should look something like this –
Fig. 172c. VOCALIZER – Vocalizer to Arranger
In the example above, the vocalizer has been set up such that if you press –
ARRANGER A:- You’ll hear UNISON (double voice but same notes).
ARRANGER B:- You’ll hear TRIO DOWN (your voice plus harmonies below
your voice).
ARRANGER C:- You’ll hear DUET STANDARD (your voice plus another
with standard harmony).
ARRANGER D:- You’ll hear TRIO DOWN (your voice plus 2 others below
your voice)
STOP (when the arranger is off/not playing). OFF – no harmonies.
Tips:-
Although exciting and very ‘sweet’ sounding in most cases, it is wise to use the vocal
harmonizer just as you would harmonize in actual tunes … sparingly here and there (maybe
reserve it for chorus … etc). If harmonies are used throughout the entire tune, there is the tendency
for ‘ear fatigue’ to set in and as such, the harmonizer is no longer an ‘effect’ you bring in to
enhance your song. Bring it in and out of your tune
– let your audience miss it rather than get
bored of it
!
