Using a Microphone to Control Expression
( VOICE EXPRESSION)
You can use the loudness of your voice via the microphone to add expression to the Ensemble part.
Press the [VOICE EXPRESSION] button to make it light.
To hear the result as clearly as possible, turn on an Ensemble part sound, and turn off the sound but-
tons of the Vocal Designer part and the Bass & Percussion part.
To hear the result as clearly as possible, turn the [DIRECT] knob (which sends your own voice directly
from the output) all the way down.
Play the keyboard.
While continuing to hold down notes, vocalize into the microphone.
Try varying the loudness of your voice.
The volume and tone of the Ensemble part will change according to the loudness of your vocalizing.
Adjusting the Voice Expression Sensitivity
Hold down the [SHIFT] button and press the [VOICE EXPRESSION]
button.
The VOICE EXP SETTINGS screen will appear.
Use the value dial to change the value.
Parameter Value Description
Voice Exp Sens 0–127 You can adjust the Voice Expression sensitivity. Higher sensitivity settings mean that the
Voice Expression eff ect will begin applying even when your voice is still at a low loudness
level.
Lower sensitivity settings mean that the Voice Expression eff ect will begin applying only
when your voice reaches a fairly high loudness level. You’ll fi nd it easier to control Voice
Expression if you set this to a sensitivity that’s appropriate for your singing voice.

The Voice Expression eff ect does not apply to some sounds (GUITAR, OTHERS, and decay-type
sounds).
