Voice Processor Preset: Harmony

Master On/Off
These are "switches" for the various Voice Processor sections.
Lead
This checkbox allows turning the lead voice On or Off, indepen-
dent of the Lead Level knob in the Voice Processor Setup section
(see "Level knob" on page 224). This is useful in creating presets
where you want to hear harmony voices only.
Note: This parameter is only available when the Harmony section
is turned on. If it is turned off, the Lead parameter is automatically
set to On.
Harmony
This checkbox allows the enabling/disabling of the Harmony
module.
Effects
This checkbox allows the enabling/disabling of the Voice Proces-
sor Effects module.
Voice Processor Preset: Harmony
In this page you can define general parameters for the Harmony
module.
Harmony
Harmony On/Off
This checkbox allows enabling/disabling of the Harmony mod-
ule. It is the same control found in the "Preset" page.
Latch On/Off
When enabled in Chord mode, the latest chord played remains
active after the notes have been released from the keyboard.
When enabled in Notes mode, the harmony voices will only
respond to note input when the number of notes being played
equals the harmony voices enabled. This ensures logical voice
assignment when voices change. When Latch is On, the envelope
parameters Attack and Release are not applicable.
Harmony Mode
Assuming the selected "Harmony Track" is "Global" (see
page 168), this parameter changes the current harmony mode. If
a diffeent option is selected, this parameter has no effect.
Available parameters are: Scalic (Scalic presets), Chord (Chordal
presets), Shift, and Notes (Shift and Notes presets). See "Har-
mony and Tuning with the Voice Processor" on page 230 for a
full description of each harmony mode.
VPp
Root
In Scalic presets this sets the scale root.
Type
In Scalic presets this sets the scale type. If the selected type is
Custom, a Custom Map can be used (see "Custom Voice Map-
ping" on page 228).
VPp
PB Assign
Pitch Bend control assignment. Allows assignment of the pitch
bend to Pitch (applicable in Notes and Chord harmony modes).
Note: For this to work, a value other than zero must be assigned to
VPp
the "Pitch Bend Range" in the "Voice Processor Setup: Setup" page
(see page 223).
Portamento
This is defined in milliseconds as the time to reach a target note
when a harmony voice needs to change pitch.
Note Octave Transpose
This transposes the harmony voices in Notes mode (see "Har-
mony Mode" on page 226). The value corresponds to octaves
(±4). This is useful when used in conjunction with "In Note
Range-High" and "In Note Range-Low" parameters (see
page 214).
When receiving notes from MIDI, this value is summed to the
value of the "Octave Transpose In" parameter, found in the
"MIDI: MIDI In Control" page (see page 214).
Harmony Note Input
In Style Play and Song Play mode, when the Harmony track is
set to Global, the Voice Processor's Harmony module can receive
notes and chords from a source different than the Arranger's
Chord Scanning area. This way, you can continue sending
chords to the Arranger with your left hand, while, for example,
VPp
sending chords or notes to the Harmony module with your right
hand.
Source
VPp
Assuming the selected "Harmony Track" is "Global" (see
page 168), this parameter allows you to select a source of notes
for the Harmony module of the Voice Processor. If a diffeent
option is selected, this parameter has no effect.
Note: This paremeter can only be edited when "Harmony Mode" is
"Note" or "Shift" (see above). When the "Chord" Harmony Mode
is selected, only the Chord Scanning option is available.
Chord Scanning
Notes are received from the same chord scanning
VPp
area dedicated to the Arranger. For example, if
the Lower chord scanning mode is selected on the
control panel, notes for the Harmony are received
from the Lower area of the keyboard.
