■ Changing the Harmony Mode...............................................................
HARMONY MODE
• Settings: AUTO, CHORDAL,
VOCODER
• Basic setting: AUTO
The majority of the Clavinova’s vocal harmony types can produce har-
mony notes using one of two vocal harmony modes: Chordal or Vocoder.
These modes differ mainly in the way performance data is used to produce
harmonies (see “The Vocal Harmony Modes” on page 185 for details). You
can use the HARMONY MODE function on page 3 of the VOCAL HAR-
MONY display to select one of these modes, or instruct the Clavinova to
select a mode automatically based on the current panel settings.
Press the HARMONY MODE button to select AUTO, CHORDAL, or
VOCODER as the harmony mode.
Gender Type Description
UNISON
Produces an effect between those produced by the MALE
and FEMALE settings.
MALE
Adjusts the pitch and timbre of the singer’s voice to sound
more masculine.
FEMALE
Adjusts the pitch and timbre of the singer’s voice to sound
more feminine.
• The HARMONY MODE value may
change automatically to either
CHORDAL or VOCODER, depending
on the current performance method, if
the HARMONY PART function (page
182) is set to a value other than the
basic value.
• The HARMONY MODE function is not
available when the current vocal har-
mony type uses either Chromatic
mode or Detune mode as the vocal
harmony mode (page 185). In such
cases, a row of dashes (- - -) is dis-
played in place of the HARMONY
MODE value.
Use the GENDER TYPE ▲ and ▼ buttons to select a gender type, or
highlight the
GENDER TYPE function and use the data dial or the [–]
and [+] buttons.
➔ The selected gender type is displayed.
When GENDER TYPE is set to any value
other than OFF, the Vocal Harmony
function will produce only one harmony
note.
Because the basic setting of the GENDER TYPE function depends on the
currently selected vocal harmony type, the value of this function may change
automatically when you change the HARMONY TYPE setting (page 177).
➔ The setting changes each time you press the button.
