Notes mode is the most flexible harmony control mode because you control the harmony notes directly. This allows you to create counter-melodies and interesting chords in live performance or recorded and edited using a MIDI sequencer. The pitch bender and modulation controls on your keyboard are active in Notes mode and can be used to add realism such as scooping and varying vibrato intensity. Double Double programs do not produce harmony and do not require any user input for key/scale, chords or notes. Doubling just produces thick and fat vocal sounds. The effect is produced by making exact copies of your voice which are slightly detuned from the original. On Double programs you can add up to four copies of your voice, making for thick and full doubled vocal sounds. A single voice assigned to doubling can also be selected in Chord and Scale programs. This is done by turning on the Double voicing button when making a voicing selection. This helps to thicken the overall harmony sound. 11 The Aux Input to Reverb This input jack allows you to share the reverb processor in Vocalist with the other instruments in input jack allows processor in Access with the other instruments in your band or with other tracks in your recordings.
