Larger Size

Thanks to its icon-based interface, easy song management system and unique "Cover" function, the DisCover 5M Realtime Orchestrator gives musicians the ability to find, play and re-arrange SMFs on the fly. A powerful Vocal Harmonist and lyric display function make this innovative module ideal for vocalists and karaoke applications as well.
World's first sound module capable of realtime SMF manipulation
72 "Covers" permit realtime editing of a track's tone, velocity, reverb chorus, etc.
Professional Vocal Harmonist with revolutionary Singer Key function
Easy operation via large, graphic LCD and intuitive touchscreen interface
Manage large song archives via Song Finder and supplied 64MB SmartMedia card
Video output for displaying chords and lyrics on a TV monitor

With 72 preset Covers (30 for instruments, 18 for drums, 24 for bass), you can instantly change the orchestration of songs on the icon-based touchscreen, or edit detailed song parameters using the Song Makeup Tools. A powerful Vocal Harmonist lets you add realtime harmonies and effects using four modes: Talk, Voice-FX, Auto Pitch and Singer. It can also transpose the song to fit your vocal range automatically.

If you have a large SMF library, the DisCover 5M's Song Finder makes locating songs easy using classifications like genre, author and title. And they load fast, thanks to SmartMedia storage and a Next Song Reserve function that keeps your next song "on deck." A helpful Song Chord Extractor displays chord changes onscreen with lyrics, making it easy to follow along as you play and improvise
