6. Effects
Harmony
Additional voices, created from your own voice, provide harmony as personal
backup singers. Chord information is captured via the guitar input to pick the
right key and scale for your song automatically.
We can also use music coming into the AUX input to automatically pick the right
key/scale for the harmony voices if you don’t have a guitar connected. If you have
no guitar or Aux input, we’ll use the built in RoomSense mic to listen for key/
scale. You’ll need to have a chorded instrument near the RoomSense mic for this
to work.
Reverb
Reverb creates a simulated physical space for your voice and guitar. It can
be a small space, like a shower (where everyone’s best singing takes place),
or something as big as a concert hall. It’s common to use a smaller (shorter)
Reverb for faster songs and a larger (longer) Reverb for slower ones.
Vocal and guitar share the reverb style, but control over the levels is independent.
Echo
Otherwise known as “Delay”, echo effects repeat your voice or guitar back to you
in various ways and amounts, simulating the effect of shouting into a mountain
range or very large space.
Vocal and guitar can each have independent echo styles and levels.
Chorus
Chorus adds pitch/time modulation effects to your guitar, giving you options to
further expand your sound.
7. Turning Effects On and Off
To activate or deactivate an effect, simply tap the Reverb, Harmony,
Echo or Chorus button. The button will glow WHITE when active and turn off
when inactive.
