Gender
The Gender styles introduce a unique harmonic character into the har-
monies to add the qualities associated with male or female voices. This
makes the harmonies sound more as if they are coming from a distinctly
separate group of people rather than being multiples of you. The two
editable parameters for Gender are Assignment and Setting.
Assignment
There are two Genders assignable for each program. You can assign a
male Gender to a lower harmony and a female Gender to a higher harmo-
ny for instance. This can also be reversed for special effects.
To assign no Gender to voices, you must still assign Gender 1 or 2 to
those voices and change the Gender setting to 0.
Setting
The Gender settings range from +50 to Ð50. The positive values shift the
overtones higher for female characteristics and the negative values shift
the overtones lower for male characteristics.
To assign no Gender to voices, you must still assign Gender 1 or 2 to
those voices and change the Gender setting to 0.
To edit the Gender parameters:
1.
