Duo Buddy HV1

EDIT mode

In Edit mode, the settings of the Program and Style can be changed.

To set the Duo Buddy in Edit mode, select the Program you want to edit and press the EDIT button.

Any change made in the Edit mode immediately overwrites the currently selected Program for editing.

The value of each parameter is changed with DATA control. The Program A/B foot switches are not

used for this change. The foot switches, however, can be used while in Edit mode to switch between

the Program A and B.

Note: If you want to keep the contents of the current Program, copy it before editing (Refer to

Copying Program).

Editing Programs

1. Select the Program you want to edit by changing Banks with the DATA control and using the

PROGRAM A/B foot switches.

2. Press the EDIT button to enter the Edit mode.

3. Select the edit parameter by rotating the PARAMETER control. The available options are as

follows.

• LEVEL: 0~9

Sets the balance between the Programs.

• CORRECTION: 0~9

Quantises the pitch of harmony.

The effect is apparent when the singer is slightly out of

tune. When set to 0, the vocal harmony stays in accurate interval to the pitch of the

singer, i.e. out of tune as the singer is. When set to 9, the harmony will be in tune with

the background. If set in between, the pitch of the harmony will be set between these

limits.

• RANDOM DELAY: 0=Delay Off, 1~3=Normal Delay, 4~6=Random Delay, 7~9=Random

Delay with Pitch Change

The Normal Delay is an ordinary delay with a fixed delay time. The Random Delay changes its

delay time at random. The subtle changes in start time of the harmony give naturalness. The

Random Delay with Pitch Change gives slight pitch changes as well as the delay time. The

larger numbered option in each delay category has longer delay time. Select them as

appropriate.

• OCTAVE DOWN: On/Off

Turns the harmony sound 1 octave lower. For example, when the Lower 4th harmony is required,

since the Duo Buddy only generates the higher harmony, you have to set the harmony style as

Upper 5th and set this OCTAVE DOWN on.

• CHARACTER: -9~9

Changes the formant. Changing the formant makes the male vocal sounds like a female

vocal. The negative value makes it sound masculine while the positive value makes it more

feminine.
