About the VH Effect Editor

TheVH Effect Editor is providing an exceptionally simple and convenient way to edit and

control the PLG100-VH Vocal Harmony Plug-in Board. It also features comprehensive,

detailed control of the Harmony effect by giving you access to all of the “hidden” param-

eters of the PLG100-VH.

Setting Up

■

Microphone Setup........................................................

Connect a microphone to the A/D INPUT jack.

Select Part “A1,” then select the “Mic” preset (bank #000, program

#002).

■

MIDI Setup.....................................................................

If you wish to control the Harmony effect from a MIDI keyboard or with song data played

on a MIDI sequencer, make the following MIDI-related settings.

• MIDI is used only when the Harmony Type is set to Vocoder or Chordal. For the Detune and

Chromatic types, Harmony is unaffected by a connected MIDI device.

Set up the MIDI keyboard or sequencer.

Connect the MIDI OUT of the MIDI device to MIDI IN of the tone generator/sound

card. Set the device’s MIDI transmit channel to 1 (or to the same channel you’ll be

setting in step #2 below).

Set the Harmony Channel.

This determines the MIDI receive channel for the Harmony effect, and should be

set to the same value as set for the MIDI device in step #1 above.

Assign the Harmony effect to the desired Part (with the Part parameter).

Disable all other Parts set to the same channel as the Harmony Channel.

You'll want to make sure that the connected keyboard or sequencer doesn’t sound

any of the instrument Parts of the tone generator/sound card. If one or more Parts

are set to the same MIDI channel (as set in step #2 above), change the MIDI chan-

nel setting of the Part(s), mute them, or set the volume of each Part to 0.

Set the HarmonyType to Vocoder or Chordal.

■

Easy Setup....................................................................

You can quickly and easily make many of the above settings directly from the VH Effect

Editor, with the Easy Setup dialog box.

Connect a microphone to the A/D INPUT jack of the“mother”device.

Make the appropriate settings on the“mother”device — ensuring that

the signal received via the A/D INPUT jack is properly sent to the

PLG100-VH.

(For details, refer to the owner’s manual of your particular “mother”

device.)

Setting up with XG Plug-in System “mother” device

(MU series, etc.)

Setting up with Modular Synthesis Plug-in System“mother”device

(S80, MOTIF series, etc.)

Harmony Types

The Harmony effect features four separate types: Vocoder, Chordal, Detune, and Chro-

matic.

The Vocoder type produces up to three harmony notes, corresponding to the notes you

play on a connected MIDI keyboard. In other words, you can sing the melody and

“play” the harmony or harmonies from the keyboard (or from a sequencer).

The Chordal type produces up to three harmony notes that correspond to the chords

you play on a connected MIDI keyboard (or chords recorded to a sequencer). Thirty-

four different chord types are recognized in this mode.

The Detune type produces a slightly “detuned” pitch and mixes it with the input signal for

a rich chorusing effect.

The Chromatic type produces a harmony at a predetermined, ﬁxed pitch interval from

the original sound (such as an octave, or a third).

When the Type is set to Thru, no Harmony effect is applied, and the only other available

parameter is Insert Part.

About the HarmonyTypes

Harmony Types /

Applying Vocoder Harmony

The Vocoder type allows you to “play”up to three harmony notes from a connected MIDI

keyboard or sequencer.

Click on the Effect tab.

Set the HarmonyType to Vocoder.

Set Part to“Ad1.”

• If you are using a Modular Synthesis Plug-in-compatible tone generator or synthesizer, you’ll

need to set the Part Number from the device itself.

Click on the System tab.

Set the Harmony Channel to match the MIDI transmit channel of the

connected MIDI keyboard or sequencer.

Make sure that Harmony Mute is set to “off” and that all three Har-

monyVolume settings are set to appropriate levels (90 or greater).

• When you play the keyboard and sing into the microphone, the harmony or harmonies match

the pitch of the notes you play.

• You can create automatic harmonies for an entire song (on sequencer) by recording the

appropriate notes to one track of the song.

• The Mode parameter gives you access to a wide variety of harmonies by letting you set how

the harmonies are transposed.

ApplyingVocoder Harmony

Harmony Types /

Applying Chordal Harmony

The Chordal type produces up to three harmony notes according to the chords you play

on a connected MIDI keyboard (or chords recorded to a sequencer).

Click on the Effect tab.

Set the HarmonyType to Chordal.

Set Part to“Ad1.”

• If you are using a Modular Synthesis Plug-in-compatible tone generator or synthesizer, you’ll

need to set the Part Number from the device itself.

Click on the System tab.

Set the Harmony Channel to match the MIDI transmit channel of the

connected MIDI keyboard or sequencer.

Make sure that Harmony Mute is set to “off” and that all three Har-

monyVolume settings are set to appropriate levels (90 or greater).

• When you play the keyboard and sing into the microphone, the harmonies correspond to the

chord you play.

• If you continue to hold your vocal note, the harmony notes will also continue to sound, even

after you release the keys.

• You can create automatic chordal harmonies for an entire song (on sequencer) by recording

the appropriate chords to one track of the song. The chords can also be speciﬁed and input

from the Chord tab.

• The chord data for controlling the harmonies can be recorded as system exclusive data —

eliminating the need for a keyboard or for dedicating a MIDI channel for harmony data.

• The Mode parameter gives you access to a variety of harmony styles (Duet,Trio, and Quartet)

and various voicings (above and below the original vocal note).

Applying Chordal Harmony

Harmony Types /

Applying Detune Harmony

Applying Chromatic Harmony

The Detune produces a slightly “detuned” pitch and mixes it with the input signal for a

chorus-like effect.

Click on the Effect tab.

Set the HarmonyType to Detune.

Set Part to“Ad1.”

• If you are using a Modular Synthesis Plug-in-compatible tone generator or synthesizer, you'll

need to set the Part Number from the device itself.

Click on the System tab.

Make sure that Harmony Mute is set to “off” and that all three Har-

monyVolume settings are set to appropriate levels (90 or greater).

• When you sing into the microphone, a rich, natural chorus effect is produced.

• The Mode parameter lets you change the amount of detuning, letting you set how subtle or

dramatic the effect is.

• The gender of the harmony note cannot be changed in Detune.

The Chromatic type produces a harmony at a speciﬁc pitch interval from the original

sound.

Click on the Effect tab.

Set the HarmonyType to Chromatic.

Set Part to“Ad1.”

• If you are using a Modular Synthesis Plug-in-compatible tone generator or synthesizer, you'll

need to set the Part Number from the device itself.

Click on the System tab.

Make sure that Harmony Mute is set to “off” and that all three Har-

monyVolume settings are set to appropriate levels (90 or greater).

• When you sing into the microphone, the Harmony effect produces a single harmony note — at

a speciﬁed interval from the original vocal note.

• The Mode parameter lets you change the amount of pitch shift, or the interval from the origi-

nal note.

Parameters /

Effect Parameters

■

Thru...............................................................................

When the Type is set to Thru, no Harmony effect is applied, and the only other available

parameter is Insert Part.

■

Vocoder Harmony Parameters....................................

TheVocoder type produces up to three harmony notes whose pitches correspond to the

notes you play on a connected MIDI keyboard. This lets you sing the melody and “play”

the harmony or harmonies from the keyboard (or from a sequencer). The Harmony

sound can also be transposed (see the Mode parameter).

• When more than four MIDI notes are received, priority is given ﬁrst to the most recently

played notes, then the highest notes. (In other words, the harmonies of lower notes and ear-

lier notes are cut off.)

VocoderType is best suited when:

• You want to determine the precise harmony notes yourself, including their octave register and

whether they are above or below the original melody note.

• You want to use harmony notes and voicings that fall outside the standard chords available in

the Chordal type.

• You can play the harmony part on the keyboard, or have it played on a sequencer.

• You want to precisely control how the harmony note or notes change pitch around a ﬁxed

melody pitch.

Vocoder Harmony Parameter Descriptions

1. Mode

1: NoTranspose (default)

No transposition. The harmony notes correspond exactly to the pitch of the incoming

MIDI notes.

2: AutoTranspose

Automatic transposition. This keeps the harmony notes close (±600 cents) in interval

to the input signal, no matter which octave the MIDI notes are played.

3: -3 OctaveTranspose ... 8: +3 OctaveTranspose

Octave transposition. This ﬁxes the octave transposition of the harmony notes, select-

able in octaves from 3 octaves below (-) to 3 octaves above (+).
