F5: HARMONY/ECHO

This function selects the type of harmony or echo effect to
be applied when the [HARMONY/ECHO] button is turned on
(page 37), and the volume of the harmony sound.
Use the TYPE LCD dials to select the desired harmony type.
Use the VOLUME LCD dial to set the volume of the harmony
sound. The SPEED LCD dial becomes active when any of the
echo-based effects are selected (12 through 14), and can be used
to adjust the speed of the echo effect. The ASSIGN LCD dial is
active when harmony types other than 11 are selected, and can
be used to assign the harmony effect to the various parts as
follows:.
AUTO Harmony notes are automatically assigned to the R1, Lead, and R2 parts, in that order or priority.
MULTI MULTI ASSIGN automatically assigns the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd added harmony notes to separate parts
(voices). For example, if the R1, and LEAD parts are turned on and the DUET HARMONY type is se-
lected, then the note you play on the keyboard will be played by the R1 voice, and the added harmony
note will be played by the LEAD voice.
R1 Harmony is only applied to the R1 part. If R1 is OFF there will be no harmony effect.
R2 Harmony is only applied to the R2 part. If R2 is OFF there will be no harmony effect.
LEAD Harmony is only applied to the LEAD part. If LEAD is OFF there will be no harmony effect.
• The ASSIGN setting is not available when the MULTI ASSIGN type (page 37) is selected.
• Changing the VOLUME setting may have no effect with some voices.
