Introducing the Sounds
VOCAL DESIGNER
Sound Description
CLASSIC Large choirs suitable for classical music. These are also a good choice for any choral sound—not
just classical—and will match nearly any style of music. They have a clear sound, and are a good
choice when you want the lyrics to be heard.
MALE &
FEMALE Mixed choirs with independent male and female parts. With sparser chords, they produce a
deeper and more three-dimensional sound than “CLASSIC.” You’ll hear the female voices in the
high range, and the male voices in the low range. Female voices will be heard on the right side
of the stereo sound fi eld, while male voices will be on the left side.
GOSPEL These choirs include the distinctive phrasings and irregularities that are distinctive of gospel
music. They are an ideal choice for jazz or gospel.
POP Choirs with a fewer number of members, broadly useful for popular music as well as songs that
contain rapid passages. The sound is clear, making these a good choice when the lyrics need to
be heard.
BACKGROUND Sounds suitable for a backing chorus.
VOCODER Vintage vocoder sounds.
For some sounds, you can access a list of variation sounds by holding down the [SHIFT] button and
pressing the sound button. Use the value dial or the up/down cursor buttons to select a sound from the
list. *
