• MODE
All of the Vocal Harmony types fall into one of three modes, which produce har-
mony in different ways. The harmony effect is dependent on the selected Vocal
Harmony mode, and this parameter determines how the harmony is applied to
your voice. The three modes are described below.
AUTO When the [ACMP] or [LEFT] is set to ON and if chord data exists
in the song, the mode is automatically set to CHORDAL. In all
other cases, the mode is set to VOCODER.
VOCODER The harmony notes are determined by the notes you play on the
keyboard and/or song data. You can specify whether the Vocoder
effect is controlled by your keyboard performance or by the Song
data (page 189).
CHORDAL The harmony notes are determined by the following three types
of chord: chords played in the chord section of the keyboard
(with the [ACMP] turned on), chords played in the LEFT Voice
section of the keyboard (with the [ACMP] turned off and the
[LEFT] turned on), and chords contained in song data for control-
ling the harmony. (Not available if the song does not contain any
chord data.)
• CHORD

chord detection.
