Creating Harmony Scales (User Scale)
When HARMO is set to any value from -2oct to +2oct, and the
harmony does not sound the way you intend, use a User scale. You
can set the corresponding pitches to be output for each input pitch.
1. Set HARMO to USER in the Harmony screen.
2. Press PAGE [ ] to display Page 2.
The User Interval screen appears.
fig.04-0100d
3. Use PAGE [ ] [ ], [F1]–[F6], and the F1–F6 knob to set
the amount of pitch shift for each voice.
-1 OCT This tuning lowers all the strings one octave.
-2 OCT This tuning raises all the strings one octave.
USER This assigns the tuning set in USER TUN-
ING.
USER TUNING 1st–6th
-24–+24 This sets the amount of shift for each indi-
vidual string.
BEND
SW
OFF, ON This setting switches BEND function on and
off.
BEND TUNING 1st–6th
-24–+24 This sets the amount of pitch shift in each
string when the bend is set to 100.
The amount of shift from the current pitch is
set in semitone increments.
BEND
0–100 When set to 0, bending causes no shift in the
pitch; when set to 100, the strings’ pitches are
shifted by the amount set in 1st–6th.
Normally, this pitch bend is set to 0, and the set-
ting 0–100 assigned with Control Assign is used.
* This setting cannot be saved to patches. This
is reset to 0 when patches are switched.
12STR (12-String)
SW
OFF, ON This setting switches 12STR function on and
off.
SHIFT 1st–6th
-24–+24 This sets the amount the pitch that each sec-
ondary string is shifted relative to the re-
spective main string in semitone
increments.
FINE 1st–6th
-50–+50 This sets the amount the pitch that each sec-
ondary string is shifted relative to the re-
spective main string in one cent (1/100 of a
semitone) increments.
LEVEL 1st–6th
0–100 Adjusts the volume level for each secondary
string.
DELAY 1st–6th
0–100ms Adjusts the time the sound of each second-
ary string is delayed relative to the respec-
tive main string.
With conventional twelve-string
guitars, the 1st and 2nd secondary
strings are tuned to the same pitch as
the main strings, while the 3rd through
6th are tuned one octave higher.
Slightly raising the FINE settings and
adding a little delay produces a more
realistic twelve-string sound.

DETUNE
SW
OFF, ON This setting switches DETUNE function on
and off.
1st–6th
-50–+50 This sets the shift in pitch in one cent (1/100
of a half-step) units.
When playing both COSM GUITAR
[A] and COSM GUITAR [B], slightly
detuning produces an effect
resembling double tracking (a
recording technique whereby the same
phrase is recorded twice on separate
tracks), creating a sound with greater
breadth and depth.
Using PAN in the MIXER section to
pan A to the left and B to the right
further emphasizes the effect.
HARMO (Harmony)
SW
OFF, ON This setting switches HARMO function on
and off.
KEY
C Am–B G#m Specify the key of the song you are playing.
This KEY parameter is the same as the Key
setting in the [NAME/KEY/BPM] section
(p. 163) and FX MOD1, 2 HARMONIST.
Altering either one changes the key.
HARMO (Harmony)
-2oct–TONIC–+2oct,
USER This sets the pitch for the harmony interval rel-
ative to the input sound.
When this is set to USER, you can set this to the
desired harmony in USER INTERVAL.
USER INTERVAL C–B
-24–+24 This sets the output pitch relative to the in-
put pitch for the selected key.
