Level 2: Editing Individual Harmony Styles

If you can’t find the harmony style you need from the pre-programmed

harmony styles, you can enter the next editing level and create or modify

one for yourself.

You have a choice of the following harmony style editing parameters:

Harmony Type, Scale or Chord Select

You can choose between Chromatic, Scalic, Chordal, Vocoder and Pitch

Correct harmony types to assign to your harmony style.

For Chordal harmonies, this screen allows you to choose between major,

major 7th, minor, minor 7th, dominant 7th, minor 7th flat 5, diminished

7th, augmented 7th, suspended and suspended 7th chord types.

If you choose Scalic harmony, this screen also allows you to choose the

scale type which can be Major, Minor,Whole tone, Diminished, Blues,

Dorian, Harmonic Minor and Melodic Minor.

The Chromatic, Vocoder and Pitch Correct types do not require any scale

or chord selection.

Unison is not a specific Harmony Type, but you will see it in some of the

Program titles. It is a Chromatic harmony set to double the lead voice at

the same pitch, or very close to it.

Harmony Voicing (Except Pitch Correct and Vocoder)

This parameter allows you to arrange the intervals relative to your input

note such as a 3rd above or 5th below harmony. The Harmony Voicing

screen is available only to the Chordal, Scalic and Chromatic harmony

types only. Each of the three types has a different number of voicing

intervals available because of the nature of each type of harmony.

Chordal harmonies allow you to choose intervals that belong to the current

chord type only. The range is plus or minus 2 octaves with a separate bass

voicing. The Bass voicing stays on the chord root and does not move with

your voice like the other voicings.

Scalic harmonies allow you to choose intervals that belong to the scale

type only. The same ranges apply (plus or minus 2 octaves). There is no

bass voicing in Scalic harmonies.

Chromatic harmonies allow you to choose any interval between 2 octaves

up or down.

Bending (Chromatic and Scalic only)

Bending relates to pitch correction of the harmony voices and is indepen-

dent of pitch bending. In Chromatic and Scalic harmony types, you have

the option of pitch-correcting the harmony notes or not. When you want

the harmony notes to be corrected, this is referred to as “Stepped” bending.
