Standard MIDI Files are great but static, right? Wrong. The Roland DisCover 5 RealTime Orchestrator can turn them into interactive songs that do exactly what you want, without any editing at all on an external sequencer or software program. At the touch of an icon, you can change the orchestration of songs you buy on floppy disk or download from the Internet, or transpose a song to meet your singing range. Instantly and automatically. Also with one of the most "musical" realistic and versatile harmonist effects available, the DisCover 5 supplies harmony lines for your singing, and turns you into a singing sensation using four powerful modes. Add a sound engine with some of Roland’s finest sounds ever, 64MB Smart Media and the DisCover 5 provides you with everything you need. Instantly, automatically, and professionally.
Cover
Thanks to the pre-programmed "Cover" templates, you simply press a field on the touch-sensitive display to change the orchestration of the selected Standard MIDI File. There are 72 templates you can use straight away (30 "ALL", 18 "Drums", 24 "Bass"; "Drums" and "Bass" only affect the percussion or bass line).
Vocal Harmonist
Another highlight of the DisCover 5 is its Vocal Harmonist function with over 90 preset settings to achieve those perfect harmonies. Rivaling the best devices currently available, it not only produces amazingly realistic choir effects such as "Small" (i.e. duet) or "Ensemble", but also boasts various other modes.Voice-FX allows you to change a man's voice into a woman's or a robot's. You'll be amazed at how well it works! Auto Pitch Correct can correct flat singing or even spoken words into a perfectly usable vocal line. The Vocoder, on the other hand, can be used for adding a "spoken" effect to the notes of the selected track or keyboard (a popular effect in dance music, for instance).
Auto Harmony
Furthermore, a revolutionary technology allows you to add harmonies to your singing in realtime based on note information contained in the SMF, even if the Harmony track is not present in the data!
