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.
