Vocoder Harmony Parameters ....................................

The Vocoder type produces up to three harmony notes whose pitches correspond to the
notes you play on a connected MIDI keyboard. This lets you sing the melody and "play"
the harmony or harmonies from the keyboard (or from a sequencer). The Harmony
sound can also be transposed (see the
• When more than four MIDI notes are received, priority is given first to the most recently
played notes, then the highest notes. (In other words, the harmonies of lower notes and ear-
lier notes are cut off.)
Vocoder Type is best suited when:
• You want to determine the precise harmony notes yourself, including their octave register and
whether they are above or below the original melody note.
• You want to use harmony notes and voicings that fall outside the standard chords available in
the
Chordal
• You can play the harmony part on the keyboard, or have it played on a sequencer.
• You want to precisely control how the harmony note or notes change pitch around a fixed
melody pitch.

to the input signal, no matter which octave the MIDI notes are played.
3: -3 Octave Transpose ... 8: +3 Octave Transpose
Octave transposition. This fixes the octave transposition of the harmony notes, select-
able in octaves from 3 octaves below (-) to 3 octaves above (+).
