Performing with Ensemble
Now let’s try performing with the Ensemble part.
Select a sound.
To ensure that you can clearly hear the sound of the Ensemble part, turn off the sound buttons of the
Vocal Designer part and the Audio Key/Bass & Percussion part.
Raise the Ensemble [LEVEL] slider (p. 44).
Play the keyboard.
You’ll hear the Ensemble part.
Playing the Ensemble part by itself will give you a wonderful sound, but layering it with the Vocal Designer
part will raise this to the level of truly amazing!
For brass ensemble sounds using SuperNATURAL technology, you’ll probably want to split the keyboard
(p. 54) and use your left hand to play the Vocal Designer while your right hand plays the brass.
By layering powerful strings or beautiful choir sounds together with Vocal Designer, your performance on
the VP-770 can sound unbelievably rich. Vocal Designer will stop sounding when your voice is not being
input from the microphone (such as when you take a breath), but the Ensemble part will sound as long as
you are playing the keyboard (regardless of the microphone input). Layering the Ensemble part with the
Vocal Designer ensures that the sound will not be interrupted.
If You Don’t Hear Sound, Check the Following
Is the VP-770 correctly connected to your amp, speaker, or headphones?
Is the VP-770’s volume raised?
Is the Ensemble [LEVEL] slider raised?
Is one of the Ensemble sound buttons lit?
