If you sing the same note repeatedly into the microphone
while playing different notes on the keyboard, you will start
to recognize this classic vocoder effect. In this way, you
can actually talk the words to a song while playing the
correct notes on the keyboard.
At the moment we are only hearing Voice 1 from the four
harmony voices available. If you play two notes together
on the keyboard, you will hear Voice 1 singing the lowest
note while Voice 2 sings the highest note. Playing three
notes will bring in Voice 3 and four notes will add Voice 4.
Press EDIT again and select VOLUME on the right side of
the screen.
Now you can adjust the individual volumes of each voice in
the harmony.
Using the four harmony voices in this way allows you to cre-
ate some fairly complex vocal group arrangements. Remem-
ber that, since the harmony voices will sing any note you
play on the keyboard, you can play wide harmonies using
both hands across more than one octave of the keyboard.
Now try turning up the MIC volume again so that you can
hear your own voice in addition to the harmony voices and
experiment with some of the beautiful effects you can create
with your own five-part vocal group.
