Notes Harmony Mode; Harmony Voicing - DigiTech VOCALIST VL3D Owner's Manual

Notes Harmony Mode

In MIDI Notes mode, Harmony Gender controls apply to the first two of four
Harmony Voices. Gender control of the remaining Harmony Voices three and
four can be achieved by using MIDI CC messages for these Harmony Voices.
Since in MIDI Notes mode the Harmonies are controlled directly by the key-
board or sequencer, there is no need to specify a harmony voicing.
Normally, all four harmony voices are controlled using a single MIDI channel.
There is another more powerful mode which is most often used when se-
quencing the harmony parts. This is 4-channel MIDI mode. In this mode each
harmony voice is controlled from a separate MIDI channel. This allows one to
specify a separate Gender setting for each harmony voice (see MIDI CC Mes-
sages section later in this document). This mode provides complete control of
the harmonies.

Harmony Voicing

Because musIQ technology adjusts the harmony voices depending on the
singers note and the music being played on the guitar or keyboard, it is not
possible to exactly specify the exact musical interval using the harmony voicing
controls. However, it may be convenient to think of the High and Higher set-
tings to be roughly a third and a fifth above the sung note. Similarly, the Low
and Lower settings can be thought of as being roughly a third and a fifth below
the sung note. The Bass setting is a full octave below.

In MIDI Notes mode the VL3D will "sing" up to four notes
being played on the MIDI keyboard. For example if you play an
E, G, C, and E notes, then four harmonies will be generated at
those notes.

Voices by cycling through the Voicing options.
The Double option sets the Harmony Voice to "sing"
the same note as the lead voice. This provides a rich
doubling sound. By cycling through the options until
none of the options are lit, the corresponding Har-
mony Voice is turned off completely.
