Motif ES and the Modular Synthesis Plug-in
Vocal Harmony Effect Processor
•
The PLG100-VH board is part of the Modular Synthesis Plug-in System. It is an effect processor that can be
used in Performance mode or 'live' in a Song or Pattern to effect a microphone plugged into the A/D input
(analog-to-digital), it can be used in a sampling session to record the Vocal Harmony effects to tracks of the
sequencer or it can be applied to audio samples after the fact. Please follow all the instructions in the Owner's
Manual concerning installation. You can verify proper installation by powering up and viewing the UTILITY/ F6
PLUG /SF Status screen. This Guide will take you through setting up the A/D input and editing the PLG100-VH
from the front panel of the Motif ES. (There is also available a VH EFFECT EDITOR that brings the front panel
parameters to your computer screen).
This Guide assumes you are at the Motif ES with the PLG100-VH properly installed in slot 1 and have a quality
microphone plugged into the LEFT (L) A/D input on the back panel of the unit. Follow this guide step-by-step at least the
first time through. When you are comfortable with the setup procedures feel free to experiment creating your own
setups.
Some terminology that you will find in the VH area:
Lead (Melody) – Refers to your natural voice or the synthesized lead Voice w/pitch correction. Can be assigned an
independent MIDI channel from the Harmony
Harmony (H) – MIDI controlled backing vocals (3 max.) follow chord/MIDI input. Can be triggered on it's own channel.
Gender (G) – male or female voice. Change gender without expensive, painful medical procedures.
Depth (Dpt) – how much a parameter will effect the sound
Threshold (Thresh) - the level at which a particular effect kicks in. Signals below the threshold are not effected.
Pitch Correction (PchCorrect) - when activated and a Gender type is selected you can create a 'vocode' effect that will
follow your played notes. You can balance this with your normal voice or mix it completely to the vocoder effect.
