CVP-909/CVP-905 Owner’s Manual
88
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.
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.
Using the Talk Function
This function lets you instantly change the microphone settings for talking or making
announcements between song performances.
To call up the Talk setting, touch [Talk] located at the left on the Vocal Harmony display. To
recall the Vocal Harmony settings, touch [Vocal] and turn it on.
NOTE
You can adjust the microphone settings for Talk on the Mic Setting display called up via [Menu] [MicSetting].
To get the most convenient use of this function, assign one of the pedals or ASSIGNABLE buttons to “Talk
On/Off” ([Menu] [Assignable]). For details, refer to the Reference Manual on the website (page 9).
