Overview of the PLG100-VH
About the PLG100-VH
The PLG100-VH provides a sophisticated harmony effect that takes the sound of your
voice (via a microphone and the A/D inputs) and reproduces it as a harmony vocal, provid-
ing up to four-part harmonies (including your original voice).
Once it is connected, the PLG100-VH automatically becomes another effect block (Har-
mony) in the tone generator/sound card, and can be applied to one of the Parts. Although
Harmony can be applied to normal instrument Parts, it is designed specifically to work
with the A/D inputs.
You can pre-program the pitch interval of the harmony, or you can “play” the harmony
from your connected MIDI keyboard (or sequencer), and even have the harmony interval
change, depending on the chord you play. As long as your own voice is in pitch and you
play the appropriate chords, the PLG100-VH ensures that the harmony “voices” will be
enharmonically correct and stay in pitch with the chord changes of the song. It also in-
cludes a “gender changer” effect that turns a male voice into a female voice (or vice versa),
and a vibrato effect that automatically adds a warm, natural vibrato to your voice.
