Harmony Patches
You can save Harmony module settings as a Harmony “patch.” The VS-2000 ships with
50 preset Harmony patches for you to use. You can edit these patches—or create your
own from scratch—and save them as your own user patches. You can store as many as
50 user Harmony patches.
Harmonization
The notes that Harmony’s voices actually “sing” are determined in either of two ways.
You can:
•
enter the desired notes using the TRACK/STATUS buttons
—Beneath each TRACK/
STATUS button is a label that shows the button’s job when Harmony is turned on.
We’ll describe the use of the TRACK/STATUS buttons on Page 332.
•
play the desired notes on a connected MIDI controller
—When you’ve connected a MIDI
keyboard or other pitched MIDI controller, you can easily play the desired
harmonies into the VS-2000. You can also manipulate the Harmony voices using
MIDI continuous controller messages. Using a MIDI controller for Harmony is
described on Page 336.
The Harmony Sequencer
The VS-2000 contains a Harmony sequencer in which you can record all of the desired
Harmony notes for a hard disk recorder track as well as any changes you wish to make
to Harmony module settings as your project plays. The sequencer captures and plays
back all of this information as MIDI data.
The Harmony sequencer provides a separate sequencer track for each recorded hard
disk recorder track you want to harmonize, running run alongside the hard disk
recorder track—a Harmony sequencer track therefore takes up no hard disk recorder
space whatsoever.
You can record a Harmony sequencer track by performing it on the TRACK/STATUS
buttons or a connected MIDI controller, or by programming in the desired data
manually. Once recorded, the track’s data can be manipulated edited as desired.
Harmony and Effects
FX Processor Use
The Harmony feature utilizes the power of the two built-in FX processors and any
additional VS8F-2 effect expansion boards you’ve installed. Each pair of processors can
produce two harmony notes. Therefore, with:
•
the built-in effects
—you can create two harmonies.
•
one additional VS8F-2
—you can create four harmonies.
•
two additional VS8F-2s
—you can create six harmonies.
You can change Harmony module settings as your project plays and capture the
settings from any given moment as a patch. See “Harmony Snapshots” on Page 339.
