(Unit: semitone)
* Wizen HARMONY STYLE is "+3," and HARMONY KEY is
set to "minor," the harmony is made in a minor scale.
Setting Transpose and
11
HARMONY STYLE"
Transpose settings include the TONE "lST TRANSPOSE"
and "2ND TRANSPOSE" parameters, as well as COMMON
"MIDI [TRANSPOSE]." Each of these is separate from
"HARMONY STYLE," the Harmonist setting for the interval,
and each produces its own independent effect.
111.is means that when using Harmonist, the transposition
setting for any tone (or external sound generator) you intend
to use as a harmony should normally be set to "O." "
On the other hand, you may find it helpful to use Transpose
to shift a melody or Harmonist harmony sound by octaves.
An Example:
Transposing the Harmony Down an Octave
As an example, let's use the 1st tone and 2nd tone to create a
counter-melody relative to the main melody played by the
guitar sound. The 1st tone will be shifted one octave down,
and the 2nd tone will play a harmony a third above.
1. Set the GK-2A Guitar/Synth selector switch to "MIX."
2.
Select the patch you wish to use, and set up the 1st and
2nd tones.
* For the
to11e
settings, refer to "Creating Synt/1 So1111ds" (p.
49).
3. Press [TONE), and use [PARAMETER) to select "1ST
TRANSPOSE."
4. Turn [VALUE) to select "-12" (1 octave down).

The 1st tone will play one octave lower than the guitar
sound.
* A TRANSPOSE value can be set i11dcpe11dentlyfor each
string. In this example, if you wish to shift all strings down
l1y
an octave, use [STRING SELECT] to make the three-digital
display read "ALL," a11d then
sci
the TRANSPOSE value to
"-12."
5. Press [EFFECTS), and then use [P ARAMETERJ to
choose "HAR/ARP SELECT."
6. Tum [VALUE] to select "Harmony 2nd."

TI1e 2nd tone will play a harmony of a third above the
guitar sound.
TI1is produces a fat sotmd that sandwiches the guitar
between a synth sound transposed down an octave and a
synth harmony one third higher.
• The values for Transpose (TONE "1ST TRANSPOSE" and
"2ND TRANSPOSE" and
"MIDI
[TRANSPOSE]"-36 to
0
to 24)-are displayed in semitones (one octave=
12). ln
contrast to this, however, the "HARMONY STYLE" values (-
7th to +7th, and Diminish) are displayed in intervals (third,
fifth, and so
011).
Remembering this
will
keep you from
getting
