● Vibrato DEPTH—Allows you to set the vibrato intensity.
Vibrato is an effect that changes (“modulates”) the pitch.
The higher the DEPTH value, the more outspoken these
periodic pitch changes will be.
● Vibrato RISE TIME—Allows you to set a swell for the
vibrato effect. This parameter specifies how long it takes
before the DEPTH value is reached – once the Delay Time
is up.
● Vibrato DELAY TIME—Allows you to set a delay between
the moment you start singing and the moment the
vibrato effect kicks in.

If you press the
[EQUALIZER]
field…
…the display looks as follows:
This page contains a simple equalizer for the Voice-
FX, Auto Pitch and Singer parts.
• Press the field of the parameter you want to edit and
set the desired value with the [DATA÷ENTRY] dial or
the [DEC]/[INC] buttons.
[EQUALIZER] Press this field to switch the equalizer of the
corresponding part on or off. The parameter settings of
that column are only used if the [EQUALIZER] indicator icon
lights.
The equalizer can be used for two things: (a) empha-
sizing a specific frequency range to create a special
effect or make the part more distinguishable; (b) to
reduce the level of frequencies that mask other
sounds or produce a “boomy” sound.
● FREQUENCY Hz—Use this parameter to select the fre-
quency whose level you wish to change with the GAIN
parameter. The smaller the value, the lower the fre-
quency that will be boosted or cut.
● GAIN—This parameter sets the level of the selected fre-
quency. “0” means that the frequency’s level does not
change (no difference between equalizer on and off).

Voice-FX settings
When the [VOICE-FX] indicator lights, your original
voice is no longer output by the Vocal Harmonist.
Instead, it will be changed (transformed) according to
the preset you select here.
(1) Press and hold the [VOICE-FX] button.
(2) Press one of the 12 fields in the middle to select
the kind of transformation you want.
(3) Press the [VIBRATO] field to add an automatic
vibrato effect to the transformed voice.
The Vibrato parameters can be set on the EDIT page.
(4) When you are done, either press the [EXIT] button
to return to the main page or one of the other
fields to set those parameters as well.
Note: The [VOCAL¥EFFECT] and [EQUALIZER] fields allow you
to jump to the effects or tone controls.
If you press the
[EDIT]
field…
…the display looks as follows:
Note: Be sure to select the desired preset before pressing the
[EDIT] field and modifying the following parameters.
• Press the field of the parameter you want to edit and
set the desired value with the [DATA÷ENTRY] dial or
the [DEC]/[INC] buttons.
Here’s what the parameters mean:
● GENDER—Allows you to change the timbre of the part.
Negative values produce a “masculine” effect, positive
values add “feminine” qualities.
This parameter should be set in relation to the COARSE
value (if you want to achieve a realistic effect).
● Pitch COARSE—Allows you to transpose the processed
voice signal in semitone steps. “12” corresponds to 1
octave, “24” to 2 octaves.
● Pitch FINE—Allows you to change the tuning of the pro-
cessed voice in very small (cent) steps.
For the following, the [VIBRATO] indicator icon must
“light” for the effect to be noticeable.
