■ 3BAND EQ (selected by [A] or [F] button)
EQ (Equalizer) is a processor that divides the frequency spectrum into multiple bands which can be
boosted or cut as required to tailor the overall frequency response. The instrument features a high-grade
three-band (LOW, MID and HIGH) digital equalizer function for the microphone sound.
■ NOISE GATE (selected by [C] or [H] button)
This effect mutes the input signal when the input from the microphone falls below a specified level. This
effectively cuts off extraneous noise, allowing the desired signal (vocal, etc.) to pass.
■ COMPRESSOR (selected by [C] or [H] button)
This effect holds down the output when the input signal from the microphone exceeds a specified level.
This is especially useful for smoothing out vocals that have widely varying dynamics. It effectively
“compresses” the signal, making soft parts louder and loud parts softer.
■ MIC MUTE (selected by [C] or [H] button)
■ MIC VOLUME (selected by [E] or [J] buttons)
■ VOCAL HARMONY CONTROL (selected by [E] or [J] button)

VOCODER
CONTROL The Vocal Harmony effect in Vocoder mode ( page 81 ) is controlled by
note data—the notes you play on the keyboard and/or the notes of the
song data. This parameter lets you determine which notes are used to con-
trol the harmony.
MUTE/PLAY
When set to “MUTE,” the channel selected below (to control Harmony) is
muted (turned off) during keyboard performance or song playback.
OFF/1–16
When set to “OFF,” song data control over harmony is turned off. When
set to one of the values 1–16, note data (played from a Song on the Clavi-
nova or external MIDI sequencer) contained on the corresponding chan-
nel is used to control the harmony.
