Fixing the pitch of vocals/Adding a backing chorus to vocals (Vocal Tool Box)
Section 2
Applying a backing chorus to
vocals (Harmony Sequence)
Lets now use the BR-1600CD’s harmony sequence feature to
apply a backing chorus to a solo vocal performance. A three-
part backing chorus will be created based on the chord
sequence specified for your rhythm arrangement.
Backing chorus parts are created by modifying the pitch
of the original solo vocal track. As a result, it will not be
possible to create a backing chorus that uses different
lyrics or a different rhythm than the original part.
1.
Before using harmony sequence, record a solo vocal
track to work with.
2.
Enter a chord sequence for your rhythm arrangement.

The BR-1600CD will now enter Bounce mode.
4.
Press [VOCAL TOOL BOX].
This button will light up to indicate that the Vocal Tool
Box is turned on. The Vocal Tool Box’s patch selection

chorus will be applied. At the same time, the backing
chorus will be recorded on the selected track.

Press [STOP] on the point where you want to stop
recording.
The playback on the BR-1600CD will stop.
14.
Press [ZERO] to jump to the start of the song once again
and then start playback of the recorded track.

part all the way down, and raise the fader for the track
containing the backing chorus to an appropriate point.
