Lead/Harmony Balance
in Vocal Harmony Control
by David Lindsay
The Vocal Harmony processor uses two parts for
Vocal Harmony effects on the PSR-2000. One part is used to
produce the Harmony 1 and Harmony 2 sounds; the other part
is used for the original Lead sound, as well as the Gender
change sound. The VOCAL HARMONY CONTROL section of the MICROPHONE
SETTING screen displays a control for balancing between the
Lead (L) and Harmony (H) sounds. For effects using harmonization
and no Gender change, this control provides an easy way to
mix the Lead level with the Harmony level, including the ability
to hear only the Lead sound or only the Harmony sound.
However, this control
is not as useful on effects that use the Gender change effect.
This is because the Lead sound and Gender change sound are
both coming from the same part of the processor. They will
both be heard, therefore, when the Balance is panned all the
way over to the Lead L sound (not just the Lead sound).
For example, the effect,
Speedy Mouse creates a high-pitched, cartoon-like voice along
with the users original voice. Speedy Mouse uses Gender change
to accomplish this, so panning the Balance control fully to
L on the left does not give the user the Lead sound only;
it simply gets rid of the Harmony 1 and Harmony 2 sounds.
To eliminate the Lead sound and get the cartoon-like voice
only, the effect must be edited.

Speedy Mouse (Example):
