Harmonist - Boss GX-100 Parameter Manual

EFFECTS

HARMONIST

Harmonist is an effect where the amount of shifting is adjusted according to an analysis of the guitar input, allowing you to create
harmony based on diatonic scales.
* Because of the need to analyze the pitch, chords (two or more sounds played simultaneously) cannot be played. Be sure to
mute all the other strings and play only one note at a time.
* When you are to play the next string while a certain sound is still playing, mute the previous sound and then play the next
one with a clear attack. If the unit cannot detect the attack, it may not sound correctly.
* The sensitivity may vary according to the guitar's TONE knob and pickup type.

Settings(P.35)
* When set to BPM, the value of each parameter will be set according to the value of the "MASTER
BPM" specified for each memory. This makes it easier to achieve effect sound settings that match
the tempo of the song.
* If, due to the tempo, the time is longer than the range of allowable settings, it is then
synchronized to a period either 1/2 or 1/4 of that time.
* BPM (beats per minute) indicates the number of quarter note beats that occur each minute.
