HARMONIST
"Harmonist" is an effect which the amount of shifting is
adjusted according to an analysis of the guitar input,
allowing you to create harmonics based on diatonic scales.
* Because of the need to analyze the pitch, chords (two or more
sounds played simultaneously) cannot be played.
RATE/KEY knob
Specify the key of the song you are playing. By specifying the
key, you can create harmonies that fit the key of the song.
The selected key is shown in the display.
The key setting corresponds to the key of the song (#, b) as
follows.

DEPTH/HARMONY knob
This determines the pitch of the sound added to the input
sound, when you are making a harmony. It allows you to set
it by up to 1 octave higher or lower than the input sound.
When set to "0," this yields a "detuned" effect that adds
sound of slightly different pitch to the input sound.
