Song Chord Detection; Instant Access To Any Function Menu - Yamaha 9000Pro Owner's Manual

5. Power Tips

Song Chord Detection............................................

Try this technique if you want to learn the chord progression for a song, or apply Harmony/Echo
effects or Vocal Harmony that match the song.
Most songs will have one part which is playing the chord progression – the first step is to locate
that part. While playing the song, turn the parts on and off, "soloing" each part until you find the
one that is playing the chord backing. Next, if the chord part is on Track 6, for example, Set the
Mic Setup Chord parameter to TR6 and return to the main display page. The chord names should
appear on the display as the song plays back. To learn the chord progression all you need to do is
make a note of the chords that appear on the display. Turn Harmony/Echo ON if you want to add
harmony to a part you play on the keyboard, or turn Vocal Harmony ON and select the Chordal
Mode to produce appropriate vocal harmony.
You might also want to memorize the settings with the song selection in the Registration Memory
so that the next time you select that Registration Memory the Mic Setup Chord parameter settings
will automatically be recalled.
