Harmony Parameters
4. Lead Gender Depth (L.GendrDpt)
Range: -64 — +63
This determines the quality or character of the lead voice, and depends on the setting
made in Lead Gender Type above. (This parameter has no effect when Lead Gender
Type is set to “off.”) Extreme negative or positive values result in pronounced distor-
tion of the voice quality. Also, the effect may vary according to the quality, character
and pitch of the actual voice. Experiment with this to find values that sound most
natural (or unnatural, if you prefer).
5. Lead Pitch Correction (PchCorrect)
Settings: off, on
This determines whether the pitch of the lead voice is controlled by MIDI note data or
not. When this parameter and Lead Gender are set to “on,” the pitch of the lead voice
is “corrected” to the pitch of the received MIDI note.
• The Pitch Correction parameter is not available when Harmony Type is set to Detune. Also, this
parameter has no effect when Lead Gender Type is set to “off.”
6. Auto Upper Gender Threshold
(Not selectable from MU128 panel controls.)
Range: 0 - 12 (semitones)
This determines which harmony notes above the melody will be gender-transformed
when Harmony Gender Type is set to “Auto.” More specifically, it sets the range or
interval of unchanged harmonies. When set to “0,” the gender of all harmony notes
above the melody will be changed. When set to another value, any harmonies within
the interval specified will not be changed.
For example, when this is set to 7 semitones, any harmonies a perfect fifth or lower
will remain at the same gender as the original vocal.
Used with Auto Lower Gender Threshold below, this gives you flexible control over
the gender of the harmony notes, both above and below the melody.
• This parameter has no effect when Harmony Gender Type is set to “off.”
Harmonies in this range are
left unchanged as to gender.
Auto Upper Gender Threshold (set to 7)
Melody note
Harmonies in this range
change gender.
