EFFECT
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 .
* 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 .
* You cannot use the Harmonist effect with audio input via USB .

This determines the pitch of the sound added
to the input sound, when you are making a
harmony .

or lower than the input sound . When the scale
is set to USER, this parameter sets the user scale

The key setting corresponds to the key of the
song (#, b) as follows .

Specify the note name of the output sound . The minus (-) and plus (+) symbols
indicate sounds above or below the set note name . Triangles next to the note names
indicate octaves . One downward-pointing triangle indicates a note one octave below
the note displayed; two triangles indicates a two-octave drop . One upward-pointing
triangle indicates a note one octave above the note displayed; two triangles indicates
a two-octave rise .
* Effective with USER selected for HARM parameter .
SOUND HOLD
You can have sound played on the guitar be held continuously . This effect
allows you to perform the melody in the upper registers while holding a
note in the lower registers .
* This function will not work properly when two or more notes are played
simultaneously .

Switches the hold sound on and off .
Normally, this is controlled with the CTL
pedals .
• It is assumed that this parameter will be
assigned to the footswitch .
• Patches are written with the HOLD
parameter set to Off .

is produced .
Adjusts the volume of the hold sound .
