harmony note as desired.
• Select various other input notes and remap
as desired. Repeat the above steps for each
harmony voice.
• The custom map can be transposed under
the Harmony Edit page by changing the
SCALE ROOT.
HARMONY KEY
This key allows the enabling/disabling/editing
of the harmony parameters that affect all 4
harmony voices.
A single click will turn on/off the all harmony
voices. Double clicking gives access to the
following parameters:
H
ARMONY MODE
Change the current harmony mode. Available
parameters: Scale
(Scalic presets), Chord
(Chordal presets), Shift, and Notes (Shift and
Notes presets).
See the “Harmony, and Tuning” section of the
manual for a full description of each harmony
mode.
R
OOT
In Scalic presets this sets the scale root. In
Chordal presets sets the chord root.
S
CALE/CHORD
In Scalic presets this sets the scale type. In
Chordal presets this sets the chord type. (The
Chord will change if incoming MIDI notes are
detected as representing Valid chords).
L
EVEL
Sets the overall harmony voice level.
S
MOOTH
Sets how much of the input pitch nuance is
applied to the output voice. Not applicable to
Shift presets.
L
EAD
This allows turning the lead voice On or Off,
independent of the Lead Level parameter in
the setup menu. This is useful in creating pre-
sets where you want to hear harmony voices
only.
S
TYL
Humanization style. This is a list of humaniza-
tion style types, each made up of a combina-
tion of FlextimeTM based time randomization,
pitch randomization and pitch inflection
(scoop).
STYL AMT
The amount that the humanization style is
applied to the harmony voices.
B
END
Pitch Bend Wheel assignment. Allows assign-
ment of the pitch bend wheel to Pitch (applica-
ble in Notes and Chord harmony modes) or
Gender.
P
ORTA
Portamento. This is defined in milliseconds as
the time to reach a target note when a harmo-
ny voice needs to change pitch.
L
ATCH
When enabled in chordal mode, the last chord
played remains active after the notes have
been released from the MIDI keyboard. When
enabled in Notes mode, the harmony voices
will only respond to MIDI note input when the
number of notes being played equals the har-
mony voices enabled. This ensures logical
voice assignment when voices change.
When Latch is On, the envelope parameters
Attack and Release are not applicable.
A
TK
Sets the envelope attack time for harmony
voices. Available in Notes and Chords mode.
R
EL
Sets the envelope release time for harmony
voices. Available in Notes and Chords mode.
T
UNING
This gives the option of either Equal tempera-
ment, Just intonation, or Barbershop tuning
modes. See the “Harmony, and Tuning” sec-
tion of the manual for a full description of each
tuning mode.
THICKEN KEY (Lead Voice)
This key allows enabling/disabling/editing of
lead voice thickening parameters.
