The Roland's pitch correction does allow you to just play the keyboard and sing and your voice is singing the notes you play in perfect pitch. You only have to select the right part or the left part of the keyboard or hit both to tell the vocal processor where you want it to follow. This way you can still be playing the left hand styles or the right hand sound and using the pitch correction feature. The other choice is the choose which track of the song you wish the pitch correction to work on.
There is also a vocoder mode which works much like auto pitch correction except that it sounds the entire amount of keys you play as vocal pitches and includes your original voice, where the auto pitch correction is only the one note.
There is also a chordal mode where you play chords and have up to 4 voices of harmony plus your original voice.
On the Roland you can adjust the original voice volume, the vocal harmony volume and the digital effects amount all seperately with dedicated knobs.
Something else to explain:
the pitch correction section is part of the "dry" vocal area, so you always sound just like your original voice sound. The vocoder effect is in the vocal harmony section and therefore is an effect and depending on where you play the keyboard, will make your voice sound more electronic than natural (pitch correction).
I hope this is understandable!
