About Routing MIDI to Harmony EFX
In order to use the MIDI Harmony Control
modes described above, you must be able
to route MIDI data to Harmony EFX. The
method of routing MIDI to a plug-in varies
pretty dramatically (both in technique and ease)
among various hosts. If you are unsure how to
do it in your particular host, you should refer to
your host’s manual for instructions. Additionally,
you can open one of the Tutorial Sessions
that make use of one of the MIDI modes (as
described in the Tutorial Sessions Guide) and
simply observe how it is done.
Harmony Presets
The Harmony Preset system allows you
to assign combinations of harmony control
settings to each of 12 buttons for instant
recall, either manually or via automation. It
is a powerful tool, both for ease of creating
vocal arrangements and as a creative tool for
quickly and easily experimenting with a variety
of harmonic approaches. Particularly in Chord
Degrees or Chord Names modes, assign a
variety of chords to the preset buttons and,
with just a few clicks, audition your vocal with
an almost limitless combination of harmonic
structures.
Here’s how it works:
Harmony Presets store the value of the
following controls:
Harmony Source
Key/Root
Scale
Chord
Inversion
Register
Spread
Harmony Voice Intervals
Note that not all of the above controls are
available in every mode. When assigning
a Harmony Preset to a button, only those
controls that are active in the selected Harmony
Mode are remembered.
In normal operation, a button with a preset
assigned to it is blue and displays the preset’s
name (either automatically generated or
customized by you). A button with no preset
assigned to it is gray and displays no text.
To assign a new preset to a button:
1. Select a Harmony Source and set the
controls listed above as desired.
2. Click the Preset Assign button. The button
will flash red.
3. Click on the Harmony Preset button to
which you want to assign the preset. The
Assign button will stop flashing and the
selected button will turn (or remain) blue
and its preset name text will be displayed.
