Chapter Overview

Presets are configured as Harmony or Modeling. The

following pages detail only the editing interface for

presets configured to produce harmony. The edit

interface for modeling presets is discussed in the

chapter entitled Lead Voice Modeling Editing.

Preset Type - menu PC

This configures the current preset’s edit menus for

either Harmony/Doubling processing or Lead

Modeling processing.

Harmony Control - menu HC

The parameters in this screen determine the type of

harmony processing for the current preset and it’s

associated musical requirements.

Mode allows you to choose between the multivoice

shift modes.The menu interface will change adding or

removing additional parameters depending on the

mode chosen.

o Shift - no additional parameters in this screen

o Scale - Key and Scale

o Chord - Chord Root and Type

o Notes - no additional parameters

o Combi - Key and Scale

When the current value is Scale or Combi, this screen

is where you set Key and Scale for your song.

(***Replace current text with:) If the current value is

Chord mode, you can store the preset with default

values for the Root and Chord Type.

Voicing Screens - menus V0 to V6

These edit screens apply to the pitch shifting aspects of

your four harmony voices.

V0:Voice Level

The four EDIT knobs control the volumes of each of

the voices. Note that the range of values goes from Off

to +6 dB. Typically, you would avoid the 0dB to +6dB

values unless only a single voice is active and you need

extra level for it. The presets were created at the

factory at optimum levels designed to minimize output

distortion that may arise when adding the levels of the

voices together at high levels.

V1:Voice Pans

Each voice may have a unique pan position. There are

100 possible steps in each of the left and right pan

positions.

V2:Voicing: Harmony Intervals

Here you set the pitch shifting intervals depending on

the harmony mode chosen in the Harmony Control

menu.The representations of the pitch shifts also vary

according the current harmony mode.

In Shift mode, you may pitch shift the voice in

chromatic (fixed), one semitone intervals up to two

octaves in either direction.

In Scale mode, the pitch shift follows diatonic (moving

third) rules.The choices are musically useful and cover

the +/- two octave range.

In Chord mode, the interval range covers the range of

harmony motion defined by Chord mode.

In Notes mode voicing is determined by the notes you

hold down on your MIDI keyboard and so adjustment

is not applicable in this screen.

In Combi mode the intervals are the same as for Scale

mode because these two modes are similar.

V3:Voicing Gender

Each voice has its own timbre adjustment in the form

of Gender control. Values below 0 lend each voice a

more masculine and deeper effect and values above 0

lend a more feminine or thinner effect.

V4: Portamento Times

Each voice has its own Portamento time. Portamento

is a delayed response to the pitch movement of your

singing voice. It is also referred to as “Glide” in

synthesizers.The range of values equals approximately

how long the upwards or downwards slide will take to

reach each new note. Setting each voice to different

values greatly assists the illusion of other singers

singing with you.

V5: Smoothing Amount

Like Portamento, setting each voice with a unique value of

the Smoothing parameter helps the harmonies sound

more natural. At low values, Smoothing acts like pitch

correction of the harmony voices according to the shifting

rules applied by the current harmony mode. With the

voices corrected like this, some Portamento is usually

required to help soften note to note transitions. Higher

values offer progressively less correction.
