Singing with Song Playback—Setting Up
3
5 Follow the steps below, depending on which Type (and mode) you selected.
 If you selected the Chordal Type:
5-1 Make sure that the [ACMP] button is turned on.
5-2 Play back a Style while playing chords, or play back a Song which contains chords.
Vocal harmonies based on the chords are applied to your singing.
 If you selected the Vocoder or Vocoder-Mono Type:
5-1 As necessary, change the “Keyboard” setting to “O,” “Upper,” or “Lower.”
When “Upper” or “Lower” is selected, playing the right-hand or left-hand section of the keyboard will control the
Vocoder eect. When “O” is selected, playing the keyboard will not control the Vocoder eect.
5-2 Play melodies on the keyboard or play back a Song, and sing into the
microphone.
You’ll notice that you don’t actually have to sing pitched notes. The Vocoder eect
takes the words you say and applies them to the pitch of the instrument sounds.
Using Synth Vocoder
These are special eects that graft the characteristics of your voice onto synthesizer and other sounds, for unusual machine‐like
or robotic eects, as well as unique choir sounds, which you can control with your own singing and playing.
1 Execute steps 1–3 in “Using Vocal Harmony” on page80.
2 From the Vocal Harmony Type Selection display, select the Synth Vocoder category from the sub
categories.
3 Touch the desired Synth Vocoder Type to select it.
4 Try holding down a note on the keyboard and speak or sing into the
microphone.
Also, try changing notes as you say/sing dierent words, hitting a separate note for each
word.
NOTE
For Vocoder Types, the eect is
applied to a maximum of three
notes of the chord you play; for
Vocoder-Mono, the eect is only
applied to single notes (last note
applied).
NOTE
You can change the Keyboard
setting (O/Upper/Lower),
determining which part of the
keyboard (or Song) controls
the eect. For details, refer to
the Reference manual on the
website.
