Vocal Harmony

This unique feature incorporates advanced voice-processing technology to

automatically produce vocal harmony based on a single lead vocal. An extensive

selection of preset VOCAL HARMONY “types” are provided, each functioning in

one of four main “modes” which determine how the harmony notes are applied. In

addition to straightforward harmony, the PSR-8000 VOCAL HARMONY feature

can change the pitch and timbre of the harmony and/or lead vocal sound to

effectively change the apparent gender of the voice. So, for example, if you are a

male singer you can have a two-part female vocal backup (the VOCAL HAR-

MONY feature can add up to two harmony notes to the main lead voice). A full

range of parameters is provided to allow detailed editing to produce precisely the

type of vocal harmony sound you need.

• Sources other than a single human voice may not produce the expected effect.

Using Vocal Harmony

■ Setting Up........................................................................................

In order to use the VOCAL HARMONY feature, a microphone

must be plugged into the PSR-8000 MIC/LINE IN jack and the

MIC/LINE and INPUT VOLUME controls set appropriately.

This procedure is the same as for connecting and setting up a

microphone for sampling — see “Setting Up for Sampling” on

page 89.

• Turn the INPUT VOLUME control all the way down when connecting or

disconnecting a microphone.

• Placing a microphone which is connected to the PSR-8000 too close to

the PSR-8000 speakers (or those of an external sound system con-

nected to the PSR-8000) can cause feedback. Adjust the microphone

position, and the MIXING CONSOLE MIC volume level or MASTER

VOLUME control level if necessary, so that feedback does not occur.

■ The VOCAL/SAMPLING Buttons.............................

The VOCAL/SAMPLING buttons all affect the microphone

(or line) sound. The [VOCAL HARMONY(8)] button is used

to turn the VOCAL HARMONY feature on or off. The [HAR-

MONY VARIATION] button turns the VOCAL HARMONY

variation parameter specified in the FULL MIXING CON-

SOLE EFFECT PARAMETER display on or off.

REVERB(1) Turns the REVERB effect (DSP 1) on or off for the microphone sound.

CHORUS(2) Turns the CHORUS effect (DSP 2) on or off for the microphone sound.

DSP(7) Turns the DSP effect (DSP 7) on or off for the microphone sound.

VOCAL Turns the VOCAL HARMONY effect on or off.

HARMONY Turns the VOCAL HARMONY effect variation on or off.

TALK Engages or disengages the FUNCTION mode F7: TALK SETTINGs for the microphone sound (page 130).

The TALK settings only take effect while the TALK button is on.
