The Vocal Harmony Modes

The vocal harmony mode determines how the Vocal Harmony function applies harmony notes

to the lead vocal. Refer to the list of vocal harmony types on page 13 of the Reference Booklet to

determine which vocal harmony mode is used by a given vocal harmony type.

● Chordal Mode

When a vocal harmony type uses the Chordal mode, the pitch of the harmony notes is automati-

cally determined by the Auto Accompaniment chords or the chord data in an XF song.

● Vocoder Mode

When a vocal harmony type uses the Vocoder mode, the pitch of the harmony notes is di-

rectly controlled by notes played on the keyboard or included in a specified song track.

● Chromatic Mode

A vocal harmony type that uses the Chromatic mode always produces notes at a fixed inter-

val from the lead vocal.

● Detune Mode

A vocal harmony type that uses the Detune mode adds notes that are detuned by a specific

amount, thus adding a chorus effect to the lead voice.

The vocal harmony settings that you save as part of a song will be

recalled automatically when you select that song for playback. (You can

override the Vocal Harmony data in the song by changing the settings in

the VOCAL HARMONY display before you begin playback, however.)
