■ Vocal Harmony Chords

Vocal Harmony is triggered by the chords you play. In the example instructions above, the chords played

in the style chord section of the keyboard are used to trigger the Vocal Harmony. Depending on the Har-

mony Mode setting and the particular application, different chords can be used to trigger Vocal Harmony

(as listed below). For details, see page 133.

Chord section

Split Point

The harmony is applied to your

voice according to the chord you

play. Try out various chords.

• If you experience distorted or out-

of-tune sound from the Vocal Har-

mony feature, your vocal micro-

phone may be picking up

extraneous sounds (other than

your voice) – the Style playback

sound from the TYROS, for exam-

ple. In particular, bass sounds can

cause mistracking of the Vocal

Harmony feature. The solution to

this problem is to ensure that as

little extraneous sound as possible

is picked up by your vocal micro-

phone:

• Sing as closely to the micro-

phone as possible.

• Use a uni-directional micro-

phone.

• Turn down the MASTER VOL-

UME, STYLE volume or SONG

volume control.
