25—Harmony
Harmony Module Common Parameters
Each of these parameters affects all of the generated harmonies:
CONTROLLER
This parameter determines whether Harmony operates in:
When the Harmony Module is set to Solo mode, all parts play the same note.
FINE TUNE
Harmony normally produces notes at concert pitch. If your source track wasn't
recorded at concert pitch, you can adjust the Harmony pitch to match the source's
pitch.
BEND RANGE
You can set the manner in which the harmonies respond to MIDI Pitch Bend messages
received from a MIDI controller:
•
•
PORTAMENTO
When the pitch of one note glides into the pitch of the next, it's called "portamento."
When Harmony is in Solo mode, you can turn on portamento by setting the
PORTAMENTO Sw to On, or by hitting TRACK/STATUS 3•Port. The PORTAMENTO
Time parameter sets the speed at which one note's pitch glides into the next note's.
VIBRATO
You can add a natural—or supernatural, if you wish—fluctuation to the harmonies'
pitch to simulate human vocal vibrato. To use vibrato, turn on the VIBRATO Sw
parameter. Then, set:
•
•
•
•
330
• Poly (for "polyphonic") mode—where it produces multiple notes at a time for
chordal harmonies.
• Solo mode—where only a single note is produced at a time. When Harmony is in
Solo mode, portamento (see below) can be used.
DOWN—sets the maximum amount of downward pitch bending.
UP—sets the maximum amount of upward pitch bending.
Rate—to set the speed of the vibrato.
Detune—to set the pitch width of the vibrato.
Depth—to set the strength of the vibrato.
Delay—to program a natural-sounding pause between when a harmony note starts
and when the vibrato begins.
