As mentioned back at the beginning of the manual, you will find two additional learning tools on the
installation DVD (if you’ve purchased a boxed copy) or included with your download: the Factory
Presets Guide and the Tutorial Sessions Guide.
Factory Presets
Harmony EFX comes with a selection of
factory presets that configure Harmony EFX
to let you quickly and easily interact with its
various modes and functions. The Factory
Presets Guide includes brief descriptions of
each of the presets as well as suggestions for
modifying them for your particular use.
Since it is extremely unlikely that any factory
preset will be immediately useful for any of
your personal projects, we have designed the
presets to demonstrate various ways of using
Harmony EFX. Simply start with a vocal track
whose key and chord progression you know
and run through the presets while reading their
descriptions in the Guide.
Tutorial Sessions
As mentioned in Chapter 1, the composers
who produced some of the Harmony EFX
demo compositions have been kind enough to
allow us to include the actual sessions for you
to load into your host and experiment with.
In each case, we’ve provided versions of each
demo for a number of the most popular host
applications. The Tutorial Sessions Guide
provides information about how to make use
of the tutorial sessions, as well as providing
insight into how Harmony EFX was used in
each session.
Open them up. Check out the Harmony EFX
settings. Tweak some controls and see what
happens.
