Master Compressor (only for CVP-609)

Compressor is an effect commonly used to limit and compress the dynamics (softness/loudness) of an audio signal. For signals that vary widely in dynamics, such as vocals and guitar parts, it “squeezes” the dynamic range, effectively making soft sounds louder and loud sounds softer. When used with gain to boost the overall level, this creates a more powerful, more consistently high-level sound. This instrument features the Master Compressor applied to the entire sound of this instrument. Although the preset Master Compressor settings are provided, you can create and save your original Master Compressor by adjusting the related parameters. This display is available only when the “Master” tab is selected at the top of the Mixer display.

NOTE Master Compressor cannot be applied to an Audio Song or the Metronome sound.

Type  Multi Assign

The Multi Assign effect automatically assigns notes played simultaneously on the right-hand section of the keyboard to separate parts (Voices). Both of the keyboard parts [Main] and [Layer] should be turned on when using the Multi Assign effect. The Main and Layer Voices are alternately assigned to the notes in the order you play.

 Echo Type (Echo, Tremolo and Trill)

When one of the Echo Types is selected, the corresponding effect (echo, tremolo, trill) is applied to the note played in the right-hand section of the keyboard in time with the currently set tempo, regardless of the [ACMP ON/OFF] and the Left part on/off status. Keep in mind that Trill works when you hold down two notes on the keyboard simultaneously (last two notes if more than two notes are held), and it plays those notes alternately.

EQ (Equalizer) is a processor that divides the frequency spectrum into multiple bands which can be boosted or cut as required to tailor the overall frequency response. The instrument features a three-band (Low, Mid and High) digital equalizer function for the microphone sound. For each of three bands, you can adjust the center frequency (Hz) and level (dB) via the corresponding knobs on the display.

This effect mutes the input signal when the input from the microphone falls below a specified level. This effectively cuts off extraneous noise, allowing the desired signal (vocal, etc.) to pass.

On/Off

Th.

Turns Noise Gate on or off.

Adjusts the input level above which the gate begins to open.

On/Off

Mode

Although one of the three following Modes is automatically selected when a Vocal Harmony type is selected, you can change the Mode.

Chordal

Vo c od e r

Vo c od e r -M o no

The harmony notes are determined by the following three chord types: chords played in the chord section of the keyboard (with [ACMP ON/OFF] turned on), chords played in the left hand section of the keyboard (with the Left part turned on), and chords contained in Song data for controlling the harmony. (Not available if the Song does not contain any chord data.)

NOTE If you want to apply the Vocal Harmony by pressing the chords in

the chord section when the Style is stopped, you need to set the “Stop ACMP” parameter to a setting other than “Disabled” in the Style Setting display (page 76).

The microphone sound is output via the notes you play on the keyboard or via the Song playback notes.

Basically the same as the Vocoder. In this mode, only single-note melodies or lines can be played back (with last-note priority).

Chord Source

Determines which data or event of a Song will be used for chord detection.

Detects no chord from the Song data.

•Off:

•XF: Chord data defined via XF will be used.

• 1 – 16: Detects a chord from notes of the MIDI channel specified here.

Type

Determines how the harmony notes are applied to the microphone sound by selecting one of the Chordal Types. Almost all Types apply the harmony notes based on the chord specified via the left hand section of the keyboard, chord section of the keyboard, or the Song data, with the exception of the following two Types.

•ScaleDiatonic:

specified in the Harmony Assign display (7), meaning that the harmony notes do not depend on the chord but match the diatonic scale of the current song’s key signature.

This generates harmony notes based on the Key Root and Key Type

• Parallel: This adds a note to the lead note (microphone sound) with the interval specified

at 6, regardless of the chord.

NOTE “Abv” in the Chordal Type List means that the harmony notes are generated above the lead

note (microphone sound) while “Blw” means that the harmony notes are generated below the lead note.

(When the Mode is set to “Vocoder” or “Vocoder -Mono”)

Song Ch

When set to one of 1 – 16, note data (played from a Song on this instrument or the connected computer) of the corresponding channel is used to control the harmony. When set to “Off,” Song data control over harmony is turned off.

Part

When set to “Mute,” the channel selected above (to control Harmony) is muted (turned off) during Song playback.

Keyboard

Balance

Balance adjustment for each Lead note and Harmony note

•Off: Keyboard control over harmony is turned off.

•Upper: Notes played to the right of the Split Point control the harmony.

•Lower: Notes played to the left of the Split Point control the harmony.

Lets you set the balance between the lead vocal (the microphone sound) and Vocal Harmony sound. Raising this value increases the volume of the Vocal Harmony and decreases that of the lead vocal. When this is set to L<H63 (L: Lead Vocal, H: Vocal Harmony), only the Vocal Harmony is output; when it is set to L63>H, only the lead vocal is output.

The following parameters can be adjusted for each Lead note (microphone sound) and Harmony note.

• Transpose/Degree:

range for all notes is the same; however, the lead note can only be adjusted in octaves. When the Chordal Type is set to “ScaleDiatonic,” this parameter changes to Degree, letting you shift the pitch in degree from -3 octaves (-22 scale degrees) – Unison (1 scale degree) – +3 octaves (+22 scale degrees).

Lets you shift the pitch for each Harmony note and Lead note. The

• Detune: Determines the fine pitch setting for each Harmony note from -50 cents to +50

cents.

•Formant: Determines the formant setting for each Harmony note. The higher the value,

the more “feminine” the harmony voice becomes. The lower the value, the more “masculine” the voice.

•Pan: Determines the pan position setting for each Harmony note. Setting each Harmony

note to a different pan position, with the Lead vocal at center, for example, results in a naturally wide stereo sound.

• Volume: Determines the volume setting for each Harmony note. Use this to adjust the

relative level balance among the Lead vocal and the Harmony notes.

NOTE When PITCH CORRECT MODE (7) is set to OFF the Lead part is not available for the

Transpose, Degree, Detune and Formant parameters.

NOTE The Transpose values of the Harmonies are available only when the Mode (2) is set to

“Chordal.”

Detail Setting

Lets you set how the Harmony notes are assigned or voiced to the Lead note (microphone sound). For details, refer to the “MIDI Reference” (Vocal Harmony Parameter List) on the website.

 When the Harmony mode is set to “Chordal”

• Session Table: Determines how the harmonies will be voiced, or what type of chord will

be used in creating the harmonies, according to different musical styles.

NOTE This parameter is available only when the Chordal Type is set to something other than

ScaleDiatonic or Parallel.

•Key Root, Key Type: When the Chordal Type (3) is set to “ScaleDiatonic,” this

parameter is available. Harmony notes based on the settings here do not depend on the chord but match the diatonic scale of the current song’s key signature.

 When the Harmony mode is set to “Vocoder” or “Vocoder-Mono”

•Transpose Mode: Determines the amount by which the harmony parts are transposed. A

setting of “0” results in no transposition, while the “Auto” setting results in automatic transposition.

• PITCH CORRECT MODE: Corrects the pitch of the Lead note (microphone sound).

“Off” does not correct while “Hard” corrects the pitch most accurately.

• LEAD PITCH DETECT SPEED, HARM.PITCH DETECT SPEED: Determines how

fast the pitch of the Lead note and the harmony notes are detected in response to the signal via the microphone. “1” responds most slowly, “4” is standard, “15” responds most quickly, and “as MIC SETTING” gives priority to the speed specified at the Pitch Detect “Speed” of the Microphone Setting display (page 23).

• HARMONY EFFECT: Determines the Effect type applied to the Harmony notes added

to the Lead note.

• HARMONY STABILITY: Determines the stability degree to which the Harmony is

applied to the Lead note. When set to “Stable,” this has a relatively stable sound with little harmony motion. When set to “Dynamic,” this tends to add harmony with motion according to the input sound.

•LEAD VIBRATO DEPTH: This specifies the vibrato depth of the lead sound.

•HARM.VIBRATO DEPTH: This specifies the vibrato depth of the harmony sound.

•VIBRATO SPEED: This specifies the vibrato speed of both the lead and harmony sounds.

•VIBRATO DELAY: This specifies the vibrato delay of both the lead and harmony sounds.
