Voice-FX settings
When the [VOICE-FX] button lights, your original
voice will not be output by the Vocal Harmonizer.
Instead, it will be changed (transformed) according
to the preset you select here.
(1) Press one of the 12 fields in the middle to
select the kind of transformation you want.
(2) Press the [Vibrato] field to add an automatic
Vibrato effect to the transformed voice.
The Vibrato parameters can be set on the Edit
page.
(3) When you are done, either press the [EXIT]
button to return to the main page, or one of
the other fields in the right column 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 press-
ing the [Edit] field and modifying the following parame-
ters.
• Use the [PREV] and [NEXT] buttons to select the
parameter you wish to edit, and set the desired
value with the [VALUE] dial.
Parameter fields can also be selected by press-
ing them.
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
parameter (if you want to achieve a realistic effect).
■ Pitch Coarse: Allows you to transpose the pro-
cessed voice signal in semitone steps. “12” corre-
sponds to 1 octave, “24” to 2 octaves.
■ Pitch Fine: Allows you to change the tuning of
the processed voice in very small (cent) steps.
For the following, the [Vibrato] indicator icon
must be white for the effect to be noticeable.
■ Vibrato Rate: Sets the speed of the vibrato effect.
■ Vibrato Depth: Allows you to set the vibrato
intensity. Vibrato is an effect that changes (“modu-
lates”) the pitch. The higher the Depth value, the
more outspoken these periodic pitch changes will be.
■ 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.
■ Delay Time: Allows you to set a delay between the
moment you start singing and the moment the
vibrato effect kicks in.
• Press [EXIT] to leave this page (or [Back≈to≈V-FX]
if you want to select another preset).
Note: If you select another preset, the Pitch and Vibrato
parameters on the Edit page are reset to their factory
values.

If you press the
[Equalizer]
field…
…the display looks as follows:
This page contains a simple equalizer for the
Voice-FX, Auto Tune and Singer parts.
• Use the [PREV] and [NEXT] buttons to select the
parameter you wish to edit, and set the desired
value with the [VALUE] dial.
Parameter fields can also be selected by press-
ing them.
[Equalizer] Press this field to switch the equalizer of
the corresponding part on or off. The parameter set-
tings 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
frequency whose level you wish to change with the
Gain parameter. The smaller the value, the lower the
frequency that will be boosted or cut.
■ Gain: This parameter sets the level of the selected
frequency. “0” means that the frequency’s level does
not change (no difference between equalizer on and
off).
• Press [EXIT] (or [Back≈to≈VocalH]) to leave this
page.
