Mono. Chordal is for conventional vocal harmonies, while Vocoder and Vocoder-
Mono are for Vocoder effects. (Vocoder-Mono is for single-note melodies.) When
Vocoder or Vocoder-Mono is selected, the Chordal Type parameter below is not
available.

CHORDAL TYPE

nies. The harmony and lead notes are also shown as notation in the display. For a list
of the Chordal Types, refer to the Data List on the website.

BALANCE
Lets you set the balance between the lead vocal (your own voice) and Vocal Har-
mony. Raising this value increases the volume of the Vocal Harmony and decreases
that of the lead vocal. When this is set to L<H63 (L: Lead Vocal, H: Vocal Har-
mony), only the Vocal Harmony is output; when it is set to L63>H, only the lead
vocal is output.
