Fixing the pitch of vocals/Adding a backing chorus to vocals (Vocal Tool Box)
Rev0.02
HI.MALE (High Male)
Select this setting for a high-pitched, male voice.
LO.FEML (Low Female)
Select this setting for a low-pitched, female voice.
HI.FEML (High Femail)
Select this setting for a high-pitched, female voice.
* If the BR-1200CD is frequently incorrect when detecting the pitch,
either change the type setting. In certain cases, this will reduce the
number of incorrect detections.
Balance 100:0–0:100
This sets the balance of volumes between the original vocal part
and the backing chorus. A setting of 0:100 results in only the
backing chorus being heard. Similarly, a setting of 100:0 results
in only the original vocal being heard.
Chorus Send 0–100
This adjusts the amount of the backing chorus that is sent to
chorus, delay, or doubling. Higher values result in a larger
amount of the backing chorus being sent to the selected effect.
Alternatively, a value of 0 should be used when no chorus,
delay, or doubling is to be applied to the backing chorus.
Reverb Send 0–100
This adjusts the amount of the backing chorus that is sent to
reverb. Higher values cause reverb to be applied to a greater
degree. Alternatively, a value of 0 should be used when no
reverb is to be applied to the backing chorus.
5. Press [BLOCK<=] to return to the Harmony Sequence
Edit screen.
6. Press [EXIT/NO] to return to the Harmony Sequence
patch selection screen.
In order to indicate that the effect settings have been
temporarily changed, the bank number will be displayed
as “*TMP.”
If you select a different patch, load a different song, or
turn off the BR-1200CD while “*TMP” is being
displayed, all of the patch settings will return to their
original condition. As it may not be possible to restore
these settings, due caution should be observed.
7. To save your modified settings, carry out the procedure
described below in “Saving Vocal Tool Box settings
(Patch Write)” (p. 140).
Making More Detailed Backing Chorus
Settings (Harmony Event Map)
In the procedures described thus far, what has been
explained is how to add the backing chorus automatically to
all of the vocals in the song, from start to finish.
In actual practice, however, there may be situations where
you want to have the backing chorus only a certain section or
make detailed adjustments to the composition of the
harmony. In such instances, use the following procedure.
1. Start by switching to BOUNCE mode and selecting the
patch to which you want to apply the harmony
sequence.
2. Press [F1] (EDIT) in the Vocal Tool Box pitch selection
screen.
The Harmony Sequence Edit screen appears.

3. Press [F2] (MAP EDIT).
The Harmony Event Map screen appears.
fig.03-374d
In the Harmony Event Map screen, you can input the
time at which you want addition of the backing chorus
to start as well as the pitch for each of the three voices
comprising the harmony.
Taken together, this timing and pitch data is referred to
as a “harmony event.”
fig.03-400d
You can freely add backing chorus wherever you want
in the song by arranging harmony events in the
preferred sequence.
