The Voice Processor applies effects, doubling and four-part har-
mony to your voice. Some dedicated controllers on the control
panel (MIC SETUP section) allows you to quickly access the
most often used functions.
In addition, you can edit the Voice Processor Setup (general set-
tings for the singer’s voice) and Presets (programming of various
effects) in the dedicated pages of the Global edit mode,
described in this chapter.
Accessing the Voice Processor edit pages
While in the Global edit mode, press the MENU button to access
the edit section menu:
When this page appears, touch either the Voice Processor Setup
or the Voice Processor Preset item to access the relevant edit
pages.
An alternative way to access these pages is to keep the SHIFT
button pressed, and press either the MIC (Setup page), HAR-
MONY (Harmony page) or DOUBLE (Double page) button on
the control panel.
Voice Processor Setup: Setup
In this page you can set some general parameters for the Setup.
Global Setting
Lead Mute
This checkbox allows you to turn the lead voice on or off.
Voice Vibrato Boost
Specifies how the Mod Wheel message affects vibrato if it is
enabled in a preset. The Boost setting (default) will add more
vibrato once the part of the wheel movement reaches the corre-
sponding amount of vibrato and then returns to the original
amount at rest position. The Manual setting allows full range
control of vibrato once the wheel is moved.
Voices Pitch Bend Range
Sets the range in semitones that Pitch Bend information will
alter voice pitch shifts.
Pitch Correction
(Pitch Correction) On/Off
Checking this checkbox activates auto chromatic pitch correc-
tion. For most applications, this is all that is required to set this
feature. There is no need to set any Key or Scale parameter; all
notes that you sing in the 12-tone Western chromatic scale are
corrected to the nearest scale tone.
This type of vocal pitch correction is quite subtle at its factory
setting of 50% but even the most highly skilled and on-pitch
singers will hear a slight chorusing from the PA or monitors with
it engaged.
Auto-Chromatic Amount
The factory default value is 50%. Changing the value towards 0%
reduces the correction effect and changing towards 100%
increases it. Above 50% the effect becomes more noticeable
when you slide from note to note. This is the effect of faster tran-
sition speed between your input note and the closest scale tone
as well as the fact that the algorithm is trying to pull you closer to
the target.
