Microphone

Adjust the knob so that the sound from the mic is not distorted.

To adjust the volume balance between the mic sound and your performance, 

use the top panel [MIC IN] level slider.

Using the Vocoder/Auto Pitch

A “vocoder” is an effect that is typically applied to a human voice. By sending 

a human voice through a vocoder, you can give it an unexpressive robot-like 

character. The pitch is controlled by playing the keyboard.
“Auto Pitch” sounds suppress pitch irregularity, producing a pitch-corrected sound. 

By applying a stair-step constraint to pitch change, this creates a mechanical effect.

The preset bank (PRST) contains 10 vocoder settings and 10 auto-pitch settings.

USER

User bank

4. 

While playing the keyboard, vocalize into the microphone.

If you’ve selected an Auto Pitch, there’s no need to play the keyboard.

5. 

To turn off this function, press the [VOCODER/AUTO PITCH] button once 

again to make it go dark.

MEMO
