6) Keyboard Harmony

When the Auto-Accompaniment is enabled, selecting the Keyboard Harmony function will automatically add notes
to your right hand (melody) part, helping you to sound more professional. This function analyzes the notes you play
and automatically adds notes from the Accompaniment chord (shown in the Main Screen when the Accompaniment
is on), creating a "harmony" part (even if you are only playing single notes in the left and right hands).
There are 10 types of Harmony.
Block
Open
Jazz
Rockn'
Dynamic
Duet
Octave
Octave Duet
Vocal 1
Vocal 2

the additional notes are added to the RIGHT 2 Part. If both parts are off, there will be no Harmony even though the
HARMONY button is lit. The Harmony notes are played with the same sound as the part they are added to.
You can volume mix the Harmony separately in the MIXER screen.
If the Accompaniment in not enabled, you will not be able to activate Harmony.
