Description
This harmony type produces a duophonic melody with the
second voice below the melody line.
A parallel voice is produced a fifth above the melody voice.
Similar to Duet, but the second voice is above the melody
line.
This harmony type generates two voices in addition to the
melody voice.
Three or four notes are added to the melody to produce
four or five-note chords.
Three harmony notes are generated to produce a four-note
chord.
Similar to the preceding type, but depending on the chords
played this type will sometimes produce a more colorful
sound.
Four-note chords with open voice (large intervals between
the notes). The result is a very "open" sound. Since the
harmony notes can be as much as two octaves below the
melody, avoid playing in the lower registers.
One note is added an octave below the melody.
The notes and assignments are the same as in the Block
type, but the notes are arpeggiated.
This type creates quarter-note delayed repeats.
This type creates quarter-note triplet delayed
repeats.
This type creates 8th-note delayed repeats.
This type creates 8th-note triplet delayed
repeats.
