Chapter 3: Harmony EFX Controls
This chapter is a reference for all of the controls used in the Harmony EFX interface.
Controls
Continuous controls in Harmony EFX are
represented by virtual knobs or faders.
Knobs can be controlled by either vertical or
horizontal movement:
VERTICAL: Position the cursor over a knob,
press and hold the left mouse button (or
the only mouse button, if you’re using a
one-button mouse) and move the cursor
up to turn the knob clockwise or down
to turn the knob counterclockwise. The
current value of the knob’s parameter
appears in its associated numeric display.
HORIZONTAL: Just like Vertical, but move
the mouse right for clockwise rotation
and left for counterclockwise rotation.
For faders, simply click on the “thumb” of the
fader and move it to the desired setting.
Option (Mac)/Control (PC)-clicking a control
returns it to its default value.
NOTE: The specific modifier
key may vary from host to
host (Steinberg hosts on the
Mac, for example, use the Command
(Apple) key instead of the Option key).
Input Audio
For accurate harmony generation and best
modeling performance, Harmony EFX needs
to be able to detect the pitch of the original
performance. To do that, Harmony EFX
requires a clean, pitched, monophonic signal.
(In this context, “clean” refers both to lack of
noise and lack of processing with effects like
chorus, reverb, etc.)
