Microphone 
– Adding Vocal Harmony Effects to Your Singing –

By connecting a microphone to the [MIC/LINE IN] jack (standard 1/4" phone jack), you can enjoy singing along with your keyboard performance or with Song playback. The instrument outputs your vocals through the built-in speakers. Moreover, you can automatically apply various Vocal Harmony effects to your voice as you sing.


Connecting a Microphone

1	Before turning on the power of the instrument, set the [INPUT VOLUME] knob to the minimum position. 
(Figure)

2	Connect the microphone to the [MIC/LINE IN] jack. 

NOTE
Make sure you have a conventional dynamic microphone.

(Figure)

3	Set the [MIC/LINE] switch to "MIC." 

4	Turn on the power of the instrument.

5	(If necessary, turn on the microphone.) Adjust the [INPUT VOLUME] knob while singing into the microphone.
Adjust the control while checking the [MIC] lamp on the panel. Make sure to adjust the control so the lamp lights in green. Make sure that the lamp does not light in red, since this indicates that the input level is too high.

Disconnecting the microphone
1. Set the [INPUT VOLUME] knob to the minimum position.

4	Touch the Vocal Harmony name to call up the Vocal Harmony Selection display.

5	Select a Vocal Harmony type.
The Vocal Harmony features three different Modes which can be selected automatically by selecting a Vocal Harmony type.

Harmony mode 
(Table)
Chordal	The harmony notes are determined by the chords you play in the chord section (with [ACMP ON/OFF] turned on), the left hand section (with [ACMP ON/OFF] turned off and the Left part turned on) or chord data of Song.
Vocoder	The microphone sound is output via the notes you play on the keyboard or the Song playback notes.
Vocoder-Mono	Same as the Vocoder basically. In this mode, only single-note melodies or lines can be played back (with last-note priority).
(Table end)

Icons shown in the Vocal Harmony Selection display indicate the following meanings. 

(Table)
Mic icon (Blue/pink)	Vocal Harmony Type of Chordal Mode
In general, blue icon types are to be used by male singers, and pink by female singers.
Mic & keyboard icon	Vocal Harmony Type of Vocoder Mode
Mic & sound icon	Vocal Harmony Type having unusual effects, such as a robotic voice.
Mic idon (Gray)	Vocal Harmony Type without any effect.
(Table end)

6	Follow the steps below, depending on which Type (and mode) you selected.

If you selected the Chordal Type: 
6-1	Make sure that the [ACMP ON/OFF] button is turned on. 
(Figure)
6-2	Play back a Style, 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:
6-1	As necessary, change the "Keyboard" setting to "Off," "Upper," or "Lower."
When "Upper" or "Lower" is selected, playing the right-hand or left-hand section of the keyboard will control the Vocoder effect. When "Off" is selected, playing the keyboard will not control the Vocoder effect.
6-2	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 effect takes the words you say and applies them to the pitch of the instrument sounds.
