Hi2Low: Throat Lengths optimized for a
high input voice that is generally being
shifted down (e.g., the original input is
a soprano and the harmony voices are
in the alto, tenor, or even bass range).
THINGS TO TRY:
Just play with the various chords and voicings
with your input voice. Do they work?
If the key of the original input is totally
incompatible with the chords, mute the original
input and listen to just the harmony voices.
Since Chord Name mode always generates
the correct harmony notes regardless of
the input pitch, you can create an entirely
re-harmonized version of your input.
Add three new chords of your choice to the
three unassigned Harmony Preset buttons.
Customize some (or all) of the Voice Parameters
and save them to the unassigned buttons.
Play with the Freeze buttons as described
above. Check out their effects when you
have complete control of the harmonization.
Try CHOIR on one or more of the voices.
Since all of the Cool Chords presets operate
on basically the same principle, we will just
describe their differences below:
COOL CHORDS 2
In this preset, we’ve provided five chords, each
in a low, medium and high voicing.
The Voice Parameter Presets provide a No
Variation version, along with Low, Medium,
and High settings that are optimized for those
voicing ranges.
THINGS TO TRY:
Create harmonizations that are entirely in the
Low, Medium or High registers. Select various
Voice Parameter Presets, both matching and
non-matching ranges.
COOL CHORDS 3
Same as Cool Chords 2, but with a different set
of chords.
COOL CHORDS 4
Six chords, each with a mid register and low
register version.
Voice Parameter Presets include the standard
No Variation, Varied, and Vibrato settings.
COOL CHORDS 5
Ten different chords, all in a relatively wide
mid-range voicing. Voice Parameter Presets the
same as Cool Chords 4.
THINGS TO TRY:
Add up to five additional chords (or inversions)
of your choice to the unassigned Harmony
Preset buttons.
Change the Register and/or Spread and/or
Inversion of the supplied chords and resave
the new versions to the same (or a different)
button.
DISSONANCE
This preset uses Fixed Interval mode to provide
three different special effects. In each case, the
original input is muted.
diss 1: Four harmony voices at half-tone
intervals two octaves below the input.
diss 2: Four harmony voices at half-tone
intervals two octaves above the input.
diss 3: Four harmony voices at half-tone
intervals clustered around the input.
The two Voice Parameter Presets demonstrate
pan control, offering a contrast between all
voices panned center and the spread across
the stereo soundstage.
THINGS TO TRY:
Unmute the original input.
Try modifying individual voice intervals
Add various amounts of vibrato to one or more
of the harmony voices.
Experiment with various Glide settings.
Try various combinations of Humanize settings.
Try CHOIR.
