(3) Press the field of the parameter you wish to edit
and set the desired value with the [DATA÷ENTRY]
dial or the [DEC]/[INC] buttons.
VOICE column
● Reverb Send—Allows you to specify how strongly the
currently selected VOICE part should be processed by the
VOICE Reverb processor.
● Delay Send—Allows you to specify how strongly the
currently selected VOICE part should be processed by
VOICE Delay.
HARMONY column
● Reverb Send—Allows you to specify how strongly the
currently selected HARMONY part should be processed
by the HARMONY Reverb processor (which is a separate
processor).
● Chorus Send—Allows you to specify how strongly the
currently selected HARMONY part should be processed
by the Chorus processor of the VOCAL HARMONIST sec-
tion. (The VOICE section doesn’t have a chorus effect.)
● Delay Send—Allows you to specify how strongly the
currently selected HARMONY part should be processed
by the HARMONY Delay processor.
(4) Repeat the above for the remaining combinations.
To select a different Harmonist part, switch on its
button. (The names of the currently selected parts
appear below the “VOICE” and “HARMONY” mes-
sages.)
Note: All settings for all VOCAL HARMONIST buttons are writ-
ten to a User Program (page 125).
(5) Set the MIC INPUT parameters as desired.
As explained under “Compressor, Gate and effects”
on p. 46, the Compressor and Gate apply to the MIC
INPUT signal before it reaches the VOCAL HARMON-
IST section.
(6) Press the [EXIT] button to return to the main page
or continue with the next section to program the
effect processors.
Reverb, Delay and Chorus effects
Each Vocal Harmonist part can have its own effect set-
tings. These settings change automatically as you press
[TALK], [VOICE–FX], [AUTO¥TUNE] or [SINGER], on the
one hand, and [VOCODER], [SMALL] or [ENSEMBLE] on
the other.
[TALK] can therefore use a short Reverb (“Room”, for
example), while [SINGER] can be processed with the
“Church” algorithm and so on. Thus, by pressing
[VOICE-FX], you not only select that part and its voice
transformations, but also the reverb and delay settings.
In fact, the Roland engineers already programmed the
effect parameters for you, so that you only need to
read on if you want to edit those presets yourself.
Before you even consider spending some time with the
Vocal Harmonist effects, you need to change the fol-
lowing parameter. If you don’t, your changes will be
lost as soon as you press another VOCAL HARMONIST
button.
Do not change this setting if you are happy with the
way the effects sound and therefore have no intention
to delve into this matter. The following setting is
remembered even after you switch off your E-80.
(1) Press the [MENU] button.
The display changes to:
(2) Press the [UTILITY], then the [GLOBAL] field.
(3) Press the [HARMONIST¥FX¥LINK] button icon.
Switch it on to use the most suitable effect settings
for each Vocal Harmonist part. Switch it off to leave
the current effect settings intact.
(1) Press and hold a button to the right of the [VOICE]
or the [HARMONY] knob.
This takes you to the page of the selected Vocal Har-
monist function.
