■ Vocal Harmony Chords
Vocal Harmony is triggered by the chords you play. In the example instructions above, the chords played
in the style chord section of the keyboard are used to trigger the Vocal Harmony. Depending on the Har-
mony Mode setting and the particular application, different chords can be used to trigger Vocal Harmony
(as listed below). For details, see page 133.

Chord section
Split Point
The harmony is applied to your
voice according to the chord you
play. Try out various chords.
• If you experience distorted or out-
of-tune sound from the Vocal Har-
mony feature, your vocal micro-
phone may be picking up
extraneous sounds (other than
your voice) – the Style playback
sound from the TYROS, for exam-
ple. In particular, bass sounds can
cause mistracking of the Vocal
Harmony feature. The solution to
this problem is to ensure that as
little extraneous sound as possible
is picked up by your vocal micro-
phone:
• Sing as closely to the micro-
phone as possible.
• Use a uni-directional micro-
phone.
• Turn down the MASTER VOL-
UME, STYLE volume or SONG
volume control.
