VOCAL DESIGNER EDIT
Here you can make settings for the Vocal Designer part.
Parameter Value Description
Input Source Selects the modulator (p. 20).
The audio signal of the part (AKEY, ENS, LOOPER) selected for Input Source will
be sent to the modulator, and therefore will no longer sound in the usual way;
however you can play the Input Source directly by raising the [DIRECT] knob.
MIC-EXT The audio signal from the mic jack will be used as the modulator. Normally,
you can use this setting. By turning on the rear panel [MIX TO MIC] switch, the
audio signal from the EXT IN jack can also be used as the modulator.
AKEY The audio signal from Audio Key will be used as the modulator. For example,
this lets you use Audio Key to play back a wave fi le containing a vocal, and use
that sound to play Vocal Designer.
ENS The audio signal from the Ensemble part will be used as the modulator.
The Ensemble part’s Ambience Send will be disabled. *
LOOPER The audio signal from the Sound Looper will be used as the modulator. For
example, this lets you play Vocal Designer using a vocal that was recorded into
the Sound Looper using direct microphone.
Level 0–127 Specifi es the volume of the tone.
Pan L64–0–63R Specifi es the pan. “L64” is far left, “0” is center, and “63R” is far right.
Dry Send 0–127 Specifi es the volume of the part.
Ambience Send 0–127 Specifi es the level of the signal sent to the ambience.
Coarse Tune -12–+12 Adjusts the pitch up or down in semitone steps (+/-1 octave).
Fine Tune -50–+50 Adjusts the pitch up or down in 1-cent steps (+/-50 cents).
One cent is 1/100th of a semitone.
Octave -3–+3 Adjusts the pitch of the sound up or down in units of an octave (+/-3 octaves).
Tone -64–+63 Adjusts the tone.
Increasing the value will strengthen the highs, producing a clearer sound.
Decreasing the value will restrain the highs, producing a milder sound.
Attack -64–+63 Adjusts the attack.
Increasing the value will make the attack more gentle.
Decreasing the value will make the attack sharper.
Release -64–+63 Adjusts the release.
Increasing the value will lengthen the time from note-off (releasing the key)
until the sound disappears.
Decreasing the value will shorten the time from note-off (releasing the key)
until the sound disappears.
Vibrato Rate -64–+63 Adjust the vibrato speed (the rate at which the sound is modulated). The sound
will be modulated more rapidly for higher settings, and more slowly with lower
settings.
Vibrato Depth -64–+63 Adjusts the depth of the vibrato eff ect (the depth at which the sound is
modulated). The sound will be modulated more greatly for higher settings, and
less with lower settings.
Vibrato Delay -64–+63 Adjusts the time delay until the vibrato (sound modulation) eff ect begins.
Higher settings will produce a longer delay time before vibrato begins, while
lower settings produce a shorter time.
Bend Range 0–12 Specifi es the degree of pitch change in semitones when the Pitch Bend lever is
all the way right/left. For example, if this parameter is set to “12,” the pitch will
rise one octave when the pitch bend lever is moved to the right-most position.
Bend Type NORMAL The pitch bend lever will operate in the conventional way (movement of the
lever will produce smooth changes in pitch).
CHROMATIC The pitch bend lever will change the pitch in semitone steps, simulating the
sound of vocal correction software.
Bend Mode NORMAL The pitch bend lever will operate in the conventional way.
LOCK1 In this mode, pitch bend will not be applied to a new note that is played while
the pitch of a previously played note is already being bent. By using this setting
in conjunction with playing legato, you can create portamento-like eff ects.
LOCK2 Operation is essentially the same as LOCK1, but there will be no pitch change
in response to the pitch bend lever returning.
