25—Harmony

Using a MIDI Controller
To use a MIDI keyboard for Harmony note entry, connect the MIDI OUT of the
controller to the VS-2000’s MIDI IN Jack (Page 48) using a MIDI cable. Set Harmony to
receive MIDI on the channel the controller is using for MIDI transmission as described
on Page 329.
When you want Harmony to produce a particular note, simply play the desired note on
the MIDI controller. To play the currently selected chord type, play its root note on the
MIDI keyboard. You can also send the VS-2000 MIDI continuous controller messages
when using Harmony—please see the MIDI implementation section of the
VS-2000

Part(y) of the First Part
Each of the notes you enter is assigned a part identity based on the order in which the
notes were played. The:
•
first note you play
—is designated as Part 1.
•
second note you play
—is designated as Part 2, and so on.
Therefore, if your Harmony patch assigns different attributes to different parts, make
sure to always play them in the desired order so that the right note gets the right
attributes.
Moving In and Out of Harmony Mode
When you’re in Harmony mode, the track channel faders operate normally. You may,
however, wish to turn the playback of other recorded tracks on or off as you work out
your harmonies. To return the TRACK/STATUS buttons to their normal operation—so
that you can turn tracks on or off—press HOME. The HARMONY button flashes and
you can use the TRACK/STATUS buttons as you normally do. To re-assign them to
Harmony operation, press HARMONY so it lights solidly.
If you prefer to choose from among the available Harmony chords using the Time/Value
dial, you can simply select the desired chord by setting the INPUT MODE chord value
(Page 337)—the TRACK/STATUS buttons light to reflect the dialed-in choice.
You can capture your notes in the Harmony sequencer, and quantize them and then
move them slightly in time so that the notes play through the desired parts.
