• TUNE ADJUST: 27-53
Sets the tuning of Duo Buddy. The selectable range is between 427Hz and 453Hz; however,
the lower 2 digits only are indicated in Value indicator and, for example, [40] is indicated when
440Hz is selected. The tone of that selected pitch is available at the output.
Editing Styles
In Edit mode, when PARAMETER control is set to ORIGINAL, the contents of style can be checked.
The left side of the Value indicator shows the original note while the right side shows the harmony
note setting. For example, if [CE] is indicated, the incoming note at C adds an E note harmony.
With DATA control, you can see all harmony settings to the original sound.
• Making User Style
Assigning the harmony note to each original note for the entire octave makes the User Style. Let's
try making the Major 3rd User Style in C key, referring to the following chart, as U1 (User Style 1).
