Chordal
Chordal Harmony Mode uses the notes played on a MIDI keyboard to determine
the current chord. This Chordal Harmony MIDI chord definition is used to pitch the
Harmony Voice to a note contained in the chord that is closest to the current Lead
Vocal pitch. Once the Chordal Harmony Mode is selected, the Chordal Voicings must
be defined in the Advanced Edit Mode menu or by selecting a patch in the Voicing Patch
menu. Note that the Chordal Voicing definitions are relative to the Chordal Note (the
note in the current chord that is closest to the note that the Lead Voice is currently
singing). When the Preset Screen is displayed for a preset using Chordal Harmony Mode,
the current Chordal Harmony Chord is displayed in the Harmony Mode portion of the
Preset Screen where the Harmony Mode Chor. was displayed.
A Chordal Voicing setting of 0 (Unison) will apply the Chordal Harmony Voice at the
current Chordal Harmony Note, while a setting of U3 will apply the Chordal Harmony
Voice three chord tones above the current Chordal Harmony Note based on the current
(or last if Chordal Note Latch is on) validly detected MIDI chord. If the chosen Chordal
Voicing has a greater number of chord tones that there are notes (or chord tones) in the
current chord, it will continue counting chord tones into the next octave. For example,
if you are singing a C over a C Major MIDI chord which has the defined notes of C, E
and G, and your Chordal Voicing is U4, that Harmony Voice pitch would be E in the next
octave up.
The following example shows the Lead Vocal singing the C Major Scale with a Chordal
Harmony C Major MIDI chord definition and a Chordal Voicing setting of U1.
Lead (Black) and Harmony (Grey)
In Chordal Harmony Mode, more than one Lead Vocal note can use the same Chordal
Harmony note. This gives a more stepped sound to the harmony as the changes are both
further apart and less frequent than when other Harmony Modes are used.
