Setting Up
■
Microphone Setup........................................................
z
Connect a microphone to the A/D INPUT jack.
x
Select Part “A1,” then select the “Mic” preset (bank #000, program
#002).
■
MIDI Setup.....................................................................
If you wish to control the Harmony effect from a MIDI keyboard or with song data played
on a MIDI sequencer, make the following MIDI-related settings.
• MIDI is used only when the Harmony Type is set to Vocoder or Chordal. For the Detune and
Chromatic types, Harmony is unaffected by a connected MIDI device.
z
Set up the MIDI keyboard or sequencer.
Connect the MIDI OUT of the MIDI device to MIDI IN of the tone generator/sound
card. Set the device’s MIDI transmit channel to 1 (or to the same channel you’ll be
setting in step #2 below).
x
Set the Harmony Channel.
This determines the MIDI receive channel for the Harmony effect, and should be
set to the same value as set for the MIDI device in step #1 above.
c
Assign the Harmony effect to the desired Part (with the Part parameter).
v
Disable all other Parts set to the same channel as the Harmony Channel.
You'll want to make sure that the connected keyboard or sequencer doesn’t sound
any of the instrument Parts of the tone generator/sound card. If one or more Parts
are set to the same MIDI channel (as set in step #2 above), change the MIDI chan-
nel setting of the Part(s), mute them, or set the volume of each Part to 0.
b
Set the Harmony Type to Vocoder or Chordal.
