VoicePrism User Manual Vocals: Lead & Harmony
VOCALS BUTTON
This is the heart of VoicePrism, where you can fatten up your voice and create gor-
geous harmonies without having to placate a backup group or multitrack your voice.
We have already programmed a sizable quantity of presets, available at the spin of
the data wheel. You can use these as they are, or edit them to suit yourself. You
access the following menus by pressing
VOCALS and paging left and right with the
tab arrows.
LEAD
Twisting the softknobs will change the settings for the lead voice. No submenus are
available, so pressing the softknobs does nothing.
THICKEN DEPTH
(0 - ± 50cents): modifies the lead voice to make it sound fuller.
THICKEN LEVEL
: (OFF - 0dB): sets the loudness of the detuned lead voice.
LEAD PAN
(100%Left - 100%Right): sets the lead voice pan.
LEAD LEVEL
(OFF - 0dB): sets the level of the lead voice. This is reflected in the set-
tings of the
MAIN MIX
menu accessed by the MIX button (page 26).
HARMONY
Here is where you configure the harmony settings for each harmony voice. The soft-
knob under each harmony head tweaks the selected parameter for that harmony
voice. Press any of the softknobs to view the submenu of harmony voice parame-
ters, as shown in the graphic to the left. Twisting the same softknob scrolls up and
down the list, click again to select.
ON
/
OFF
: twisting the softknob will turn its affiliated harmony voice on or off .
LEVEL
(Off - 0dB): sets the loudness of the associated harmony voice. This is reflect-
ed in the settings of the menus accessed by the MIX button (page 24).
PAN
(100% left - 100% right): shifts the location of the voice in relation to the left and
right speakers.
GENDER
(-50 Male - +50 Female): changes the gender of the associated harmony
voice, with the current setting indicated by the head icon shown above the softknob.
Scroll through the range and watch the heads change -- it’s fun!
VOICING
(-2 Octaves - +2 Octaves, or -24 - +24 for Shift presets): spin the softknob
and watch the voice head move vertically to indicate its pitch relative to the lead
voice. Voicing only applies to certain harmony modes, and is different in each
mode.The exact harmony setting is shown on the LCD just above the softknobs.
