DUET
This preset uses Scale Interval Mode to provide
one harmony voice at a variety of intervals.
(Don’t forget to change the presets buttons’
Key and Scale settings to match your track.)
Choices include:
5th up or down
4th up or down
3rd up or down
Octave up or down
Harmony Channel 1 is used for all presets.
The other channels are muted.
The Voice Parameter Presets provide a
No Variation version, along with Low and
High versions, which add Humanization
and Throat Length modifications
that accentuate the formant changes
associated with shifting up or down.
THINGS TO TRY:
Add vibrato to the harmony voice.
Try different values of Glide.
Unmute one or more of the other channels and
experiment with different intervals.
FIXED INTERVALS
This preset lets you explore the effect of
using various parallel intervals in Fixed
Interval mode. Other than unison and
octaves, this is not something you would
typically use in conventional diatonic
music, but as this preset will show, it can
be useful as an effect in sound design.
THINGS TO TRY:
Explore other combinations of parallel intervals.
GROUP
This preset demonstrates how the
Harmony Presets and the Voice Parameter
Presets can be used together to create
variously-sized vocal groups.
Using Scale Interval mode (don’t forget
to change the Key and Scale popups to
match your track), this preset provides
four variations of four harmony voices and
two variations of two harmony voices.
Up1, Down1, Up2 and Down2 are the
four voice presets and are designed
to be used with the Voice Parameter
presets No Variation, Up and Down.
The Harmony Presets TrioUp and TrioDown
are designed to be used with the Voice
Parameter presets TrioUp and TrioDown. The
Harmony Presets define the proper intervals,
while the Voice Parameter presets define the
“Trio” by muting harmony channel 3 and 4.
HUMANIZE FUN
This preset is designed to demonstrate
the variety of effects available from the
Humanize functions, as well show how
different Harmony Control modes can
be combined in a single preset.
The Voice Parameter presets include
one preset with no Humanize functions
and five additional presets with various
combinations of the three Humanize
functions (their names make their settings
pretty obvious, but you can also just watch
the controls as you select each preset).
Up in the Harmony Presets section, you
will see that four different harmony modes
are represented. The top three buttons are
chords in Chord Name mode. The next 6
are chords in Chord Degrees mode (be sure
to set the Key and Scale as necessary).
Finally there is a preset in Scale Interval
mode (again, set the Key and Scale)
and another in Fixed Interval mode.
