Microphone Settings
This section lets you set parameters for various Effects that are applied to the microphone sound. You should make both
“Vocal” and “Talk” settings — “Vocal,” for your singing performance, and “Talk,” for making announcements between
songs, for example.
1
Microphone
On/Off
Turns on or off the microphone sound. When set to On, the microphone sound will be input to
the instrument.
NOTE
The setting here is equivalent to that in the Vocal Harmony display (
2
Vocal/Talk
Switch
When you sing into the microphone for your performance, set this to “Vocal.” When you talk
normally or need to make announcements between songs of your performance, set this to
“Talk.” This lets you instantly change the microphone settings depending on the situation.
NOTE
The setting here is equivalent to that in the Vocal Harmony display (
3
Volume
Adjustment
Adjusts the input volume of the microphone sound. The input level is shown at the right.
NOTE
The setting here is equivalent to that in the Vocal Harmony display (

3 Band EQ
EQ (Equalizer) is a processor that divides the frequency spectrum into multiple bands which
can be boosted or cut as required to tailor the overall frequency response. The instrument
features a three-band (Low, Mid and High) digital equalizer function for the microphone
sound. For each of three bands, you can adjust the center frequency (Hz) and level (dB) via the
corresponding knobs on the display.
5
Noise Gate
This effect mutes the input signal when the input from the microphone falls below a specified
level. This effectively cuts off extraneous noise, allowing the desired signal (vocal, etc.) to pass.
On/Off
Turns Noise Gate on or off.
Th. (Threshold)
Adjusts the input level above which the gate begins to open.
6
Compressor
This effect holds down the output when the input signal from the microphone exceeds a
specified level. This is especially useful for smoothing out vocals that have widely varying
dynamics. It effectively “compresses” the signal, making loud parts softer, or vice versa.
On/Off
Turns Compressor on or off.
Th. (Threshold)
Adjusts the input level above which compression begins to be applied.
Ratio
Adjusts the compression ratio. Higher ratios result in a more compressed
sound, with a reduced dynamic range.
Output
Adjusts the final output level.
