Performing with Vocal Designer
( VOCAL DESIGNER)
Let’s go ahead and try performing with the Vocal Designer part. While vocalizing into the microphone, play
the keyboard and you’ll hear realistic and natural voices.
For more about how Vocal Designer works, refer to “About Vocal Designer” ( ➞ p. 12).
Selecting a Sound
Here’s how to select a Vocal Designer sound.
To play the Vocal Designer part, press a Vocal Designer sound button to make it light.
If you press the Vocal Designer sound button that’s already lit, the button will go dark and you will no longer
hear the Vocal Designer part.
You can play multiple parts simultaneously by turning on sound buttons for the Ensemble part
and/or Bass & Percussion part. If you want to play only the Vocal Designer part by itself, turn off the
sound buttons of the other parts (make the buttons go dark).
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.
Selecting a Variation Sound
