Harmony Assign Parameters

Pitch Correct Parameters

1Abv&2Blw.WideBlues Harmony based on 3 total tones from chords and scales, 1 above and 2 below; it can produce a feeling of movement. Since it handles a major triad as

add 6th chord, and handles the major second as a scale tone, it can also provide passing tones. Because it adds the major second as a scale tone to

harmony during 7th chords, it provides a passing tone during 7th chords. Suitable for 3-tone chord in major keys or for country rock. Basically it

generates open harmonies of an octave or more.

1Abv&1Blw+Bass Harmony based on tone chords and scale tones used as duet, 1 above and 1 below; (+ chord root); it can produce a feeling of movement. Harmony1 is

a tone above and nearest the input pitch. Harmony2, tone which is below the input pitch and nearest the input pitch, handles a major triad as add 6th

chord, and since it handles the major second as a scale tone in major triads, it can provide passing tones.

1Abv&1Blw+UnsD.Modal6th Harmony suitable for a trio based on 2 total tones from chords and scales, a above and below (+ Oct. below the input pitch); it can produce a feeling of

movement. Because it handles a major triad as add 6th chord, and handles the major second as a scale tone, it can provide passing tones.

1Abv&1Blw+Bass.Modal6th Harmony based on tone chords and scale tones used as duet, 1 above and 1 below (+ chord root); it can produce a feeling of movement. Harmony1 is

harmony of above tone with priority on the chord character. Harmony2, harmony near the below side, handles a major triad as add 6th chord, and since

it handles the major second as a scale tone in major triads, it can provide passing tones.

3Blw.Jazz Harmony based on 3 total tones from chords and scales, 3 below; it handles a major triad as add 6th chord. Because it handles the major second as a

scale tone in major triads, it can also provide passing tones. Basically it generates harmonies within an octave. It is suitable for high pitched vocals.

3Blw.JazzBlues Harmony based on 3 total tones from chords and scales, 3 below; it handles a major triad as add 6th chord. Because it handles the major second as a

scale tone in major triads, it can also provide passing tones. Because it adds the major second as a scale tone to harmony during 7th chords, it provides

a passing tone during 7th chords. Suitable for 3-tone chord blues or for country rock in major keys. Basically it generates harmonies within an octave. It

is suitable for high pitched vocals.

2Blw+UnsD.Modal6th Harmony suitable for a trio based on 2 total tones from chords and scales, 2 below (+ Oct. below input pitch); it handles a major triad as add 6th chord.

Because it handles the major second as a scale tone in major triads, it can also provide passing tones. Basically it generates harmonies within an

octave. It is suitable for high pitched vocals.

2Blw+Bass.Modal6th Harmony suitable for a trio based on 2 total tones from chords and scales, 2 below (+ chord root); it handles a major triad as add 6th chord. Because it

handles the major second as a scale tone in major triads, it can also provide passing tones. Basically it generates harmonies within an octave. It is

suitable for high pitched vocals.

ScaleDiatonic This generates harmonies based on the scale specified by the KEY ROOT/TYPE value and the degree specified by the DEGREE value. The harmonies

are not dependent on a chord. If there are many notes, the chord feeling intensifies, so it is suitable for use as duets, fixed at a third above. This setting

is good for modal church music or modal jazz.

Parallel This can reproduce harmonies for which semitone pitches are fixed 4th build or diminished sounds, for example. This setting is good, for example, in

modal jazz scales (when you want to eliminate chordal feeling) or in progressive music.

Parameter Value Description

TRANS.MODE

*These are effective only when

Vocoder or Vocoder-Mono is

selected in Mode.

0 Assigns the harmony to the octave range centered around the pitch of the played note.

Auto Assigns the harmony to the same octave range as the vocal (microphone) input.

-3 Assigns the harmony to a range roughly 3 octaves below the pitch of the played note.

-2 Assigns the harmony to a range roughly 2 octaves below the pitch of the played note.

-1 Assigns the harmony to a range roughly 1 octave below the pitch of the played note.

1 Assigns the harmony to a range roughly 1 octave above the pitch of the played note.

2 Assigns the harmony to a range roughly 2 octaves above the pitch of the played note.

3 Assigns the harmony to a range roughly 3 octaves above the pitch of the played note.

SESSION TABLE

*These are effective only when a

Diatonic or Parallel is selected.

Normal The chord designation is used as shown. This is for general use in conventional music genres.

Simple Tends to add a simpler harmony. Use this when you need simple accompaniment.

KEY ROOT

*These are effective only When the

Chordal Type parameter is set to

Scale Diatonic.

Determines the root key for the transposition. Refer to the Reference Manual.

KEY TYPE

*These are effective only When the

Chordal Type parameter is set to

Scale Diatonic.

Determines the scale type for the transposition. Refer to the Reference Manual.

Parameter Description

OFF The input sound is not pitch corrected. Since the harmony has a more natural sound, this setting is good for duets, etc.

SOFT1 The input sound is almost without pitch correction. Since the pitches of the harmony are more accurate, this setting is good for backing chorus parts, etc.

SOFT2 The input sound is slightly pitch corrected. Since the harmony has a more natural sound, this setting is good for duets, etc.

HARD The input sound is pitch corrected. Since the pitches of the harmony are more accurate, this setting is good for backing chorus parts, etc.
