Plugin (PLG) — Harmony Parameters
In general, the Chordal Type is best suited
when you want to simply play the chords
and have the Harmony effect automati-
cally sort out the suitable notes.
Chords Recognized in Chordal Type
Detune
This produces a slightly "detuned" pitch
and mixes it with the input signal for a
rich chorusing effect. The amount of the
detuning is set in the Mode parameter.
MIDI note data from a keyboard or se-
quencer has no effect in this type.
NOTE
When Detune is selected, the Harmony Gen-
der Type and Lead Pitch Correction param-
eters are not available.
Chromatic (CHROMAT.HM)
This produces a harmony at a fixed pitch
interval from the original sound (such as
an octave, or a third). The amount of the
pitch shift is set in the Mode parameter.
MIDI note data from a keyboard or se-
quencer has no effect in this type.

Settings: (Available settings differ de-
pending on selected Type;
see below.)
148
For Vocoder Type:
no trans
No transposition. The harmony notes
correspond exactly to the pitch of the in-
coming MIDI notes.
auto trans
Automatic transposition of the harmony
notes. This keeps the harmony notes close
( 600 cents) to the input signal, no mat-
ter which octave the MIDI notes are
played. For example, if your vocal is at a
pitch of C3, playing an E note anywhere
on the connected MIDI keyboard results
in a harmony note of E3.
-3oct trns — +3oct trns
This fixes the octave transposition of the
harmony notes, selectable from 3 octaves
below (-) to 3 octaves above (+).
For Chordal Type:
duet above (Duet Above)
Produces one harmony note, in a pitch
above the lead note.
duet below (Duet Below)
Produces one harmony note, in a pitch
below the lead note.
duet abv+b (Duet Above + Bass)
Produces two harmony notes — one in a
pitch above the lead note, and one an oc-
tave below the chord root harmony. (The
"+b" in the type name stands for "added
bass note.")
trio above (Trio Above)
Produces two harmony notes, in pitches
above the lead note.
trio a&b (Trio Above & Below)
Produces two harmony notes — one in a
pitch above the lead note, and one below.
