TC Electronic Harmony4 TDM - Manual (Page 12)

Mode: Chord
In Chord Mode, musically correct harmonies are produced by chords
recognized from the incoming MIDI notes.
Mode: Notes & Notes 4CH
In this Mode, incoming MIDI notes determine the pitches of up to four harmony
voices. When "Notes" is selected, a single MIDI channel controls the 4 harmony
voices. When Notes 4CH or “Notes Four Channel” is selected, each harmony
voice is assigned a unique MIDI channel in the Setup tab which has many
benefits including:
1. the ability to use unique pitch bends on each channel
2. full stability of panning and gender assignments for each voice.
To take full advantage of this mode, you will need to have 4 tracks of MIDI data
on separate channels driving Harmony4.
Key & Scale (available only in Scale Mode)
Use these parameters to set the key and scale type. The scale defines the map
for how the harmony voices will react to the input pitch. Available scales are
Major/Minor 1,2 and 3. Custom scales can be created for situations where the
predefined scales don’t produce the desire results. Refer to Appendix: Scale
Types and Voicings Table
Attack and Release
Available only in Chord and Notes Modes, these parameteres set the envelope
attack and release times for harmony voices. Using these parameters can make
entrances and exits of the harmony notes softer or harder. This function works
when Latch is "Off" and MIDI notes are being received.
Latch (available only in Chord and Notes Modes)
When enabled, the last chord remains active after the notes have been
released. When disabled, harmony output stops when MIDI notes are released.
In notes mode, the number of notes played must equal the number of harmony
voices enabled for any voices to be triggered.
Bend Range
You can define how far the harmony pitches are shifted when you move the
pitch wheel on your MIDI keyboard. The values go from 0 to +\- 24 semitones.
Tuning
There are three micro tuning options for all harmony modes except Notes,
Notes 4CH and Shift.
Equal tuning uses approximations for the tuning of each note, allowing you
to easily alter the key of your music without re-tuning your instruments. This
is the same way synthesizers are tuned. Most non-digital instruments are
tuned this way.
