Vibrato Style & Amount
A unique modeled vibrato based on the analysis of human singers can be
added to each harmony voice using a combination of these two parameters.
When Style, and Amount are chosen, vibrato occurs when the pitch of the lead
voice has settled momentarily. This more closely simulates human singing.
Vibrato may not occur if the lead voice melody is changing quickly.
The styles are randomized so that they sound slightly different on each voice
even when the same style is chosen for all. Mixing different styles can create a
very realistic sounding vocal group.
Scoop Style & Amount
The Scoop parameter adds a brief pitch envelope to the onsets of the harmony
notes, further disconnecting the harmonies from the lead. Select a style, then
use the Amount control to determine the shift range of the scoop
The Control Tab
The Control Tab is used to configure parameters that relate to the different
harmony modes. Depending on the mode, different parameters are available. A
brief description of each harmony mode follows here with more detailed
discussion following in Chapter 3.
Mode: Shift
Shift Mode is best used for doubling, and special FX. Shift is the most basic
mode of operation for the Harmony Block. The harmony voices can be shifted
away from the input note in semi-tones.
Mode: Scale
In Scale Mode, harmonies use key, and scale information to create musically
correct, diatonic harmonies. Scale Mode harmonies are more parallel than
Chord Mode harmonies. To overcome situations where the harmony interval is
incorrect for one, or two sung notes, the custom scale editing parameters may
be used. Refer to Appendix: Scale Types, and Voicings Table
Mode: Chord
In Chord Mode, musically correct harmonies are produced by chords
recognized from the incoming MIDI notes.
Mode: Notes & Notes 4CH
In this Mode, incoming MIDI notes determine the pitches of up to four harmony
voices. When "Notes" is selected, a single MIDI channel controls the 4 harmony
voices. When Notes 4CH, or “Notes Four Channel” is selected, each harmony
voice is assigned a unique MIDI channel in the Setup tab which has many
benefits including:
1. the ability to use unique pitch bends on each channel
2. full stability of panning, and gender assignments for each voice.
