You can edit the VE-5’s parameters to adjust the sound in detail.
Here we’ll explain some advanced techniques, starting from the factory-set sounds.

How do I get back to the factory-set sound?
The sound settings will automatically be saved when you press the [EXIT] button to return to the top screen.
If you want to return a sound to its factory settings, refer to “COPY PRESET (Copying a Preset Sound)” (p. 18).
If you want to return all sounds to their factory settings, refer to “Restoring the Factory Settings” (p. 19).
For details on the procedure, refer to “Editing procedure in the menu” (p. 15).
Harmony is typically at intervals of a third or fth, but you can make your song musically richer by
adding harmony at a fourth or sixth. By editing the DOUBLE/HARMONY parameter “Type,” you can
add harmony at intervals of a fourth or sixth.
1. Select the “14 3rd HARMONY” sound.
2. Specify the key of the song (p. 6).
3. Change the “DOUBLE/HARMONY” menu parameter “Type” from “+3rd” to
“+4th.”
DOUBLE/HARMONY provides a unique parameter named “Gender,” allowing you to switch the
character of the harmony voice between male and female.
1. Select the “14 3rd HARMONY” sound.
2. Specify the key of the song (p. 6).
3. Edit the “DOUBLE/HARMONY” menu parameter “Gender.”
Negative (–) settings give the voice a more masculine character, while positive (+) settings make
the voice more feminine.
If you want to switch the characteristics of your own voice between masculine and feminine, edit
the PITCH CORRECT “Gender” parameter.
1. Select the “18 PitchCorrect” sound.
2. Edit the “PITCH CORRECT” menu parameter “Gender.”
Negative (–) settings give the voice a more masculine character, while positive (+) settings make
the voice more feminine.
Here’s how to get a mechanistic sound in which the pitch changes in steps (recently popular in
pop music). To make this eect more convincing, specify the key of the song so that the pitch is
corrected to that key.
1. Select the “21 ElectricTune” sound.
2. Specify the key of the song (p. 6).
3. Change the “PITCH CORRECT” menu parameter “Scale” from “Chromatic” to
“Maj (Min).”
Now the pitch will be corrected to t the scale of the song’s key.
When singing, try to avoid applying delicate vibrato; use your voice to describe fairly large
curves when changing pitch.
You can also produce an electrical feel by adjusting the “Gender” parameter mentioned above.
