On Your Own - Yamaha MU100R Owner's Manual

7 Set the Harmony Type to Chordal.
Select "Type" (with the [SELECT <] button), then set the param-
eter to "CHORDAL HM" (with the [VALUE -/+] buttons or data
dial). When set to Chordal, chords you play on the connected
MIDI keyboard determine the notes of the Harmony effect. (For
more information on Chordal and the other Types, see page 147.)
8 Set the Harmony Mode to "trio above".
Select "Mode" (with the [SELECT </>] buttons), then set the
parameter to "trio above" (with the [VALUE -/+] buttons or
data dial).
9 Sing into the microphone and play chords on the MIDI keyboard.
The Harmony function recognizes thirty-four different chord
types. Chords can be played at any register on the keyboard and
result in the same harmonies. Experiment with different chord
types (major, minor, seventh, etc.) and hear how the harmonies
change — even while holding the same pitch with your voice.
Hints
• Keep in mind that you don't need to hold the chord down — simply play it once
at the point you want the harmony to change, then release it and continue
singing until the next chord change.
• If another Part is set to MIDI channel 1, you'll hear its Voice playing the chord.
To keep this Voice from sounding, use the [MUTE/SOLO] button to mute the
part, or turn its Volume setting down.

Here is a summary of the steps you should follow when using the Harmony
effect:
1) Set up one of the A/D input Parts, and select one of the presets.
Do this if you want to apply Harmony to an external source (such
as a microphone or guitar). (See page 87.)
2) Set the Harmony Channel to match the transmit channel of a connected
MIDI keyboard.
Do this if you want to control the Harmony effect via MIDI.
Path: UTILITY
3) Set the Insert Part to the corresponding Part.
For the A/D inputs, this would be set to "AD01" or "AD02."
Path: EFFECT
4) Make other appropriate settings in the "PLG100-VH" menu (called up in
step #3 above).
Most important of these are Harmony Type, Harmony Mode, and
Lead/Harmony Balance. (See page 147.)
