More Information on Manual Mode
The Manual button disengages Harmony-M’s musical
intelligence. If you sing while the Manual button is lit, you
can directly “play” four harmony voices as if they were a
polyphonic keyboard part.Your harmonies will not move
automatically in response to your sung melody as they
do in normal operation, but you will be capable of
unique and unusual harmony arrangements.
This
method of harmony generation is also called “Notes” or
“Vocoder” in other harmony products and it is most
commonly used by commercial MIDIfiles.
If you want to use commercial MIDIfiles that have been
authored with harmony control tracks, set the Manual
button to on and ensure that the MIDI channels of your
MIDIfile and Harmony-M match.
The Voice 1 and Voice 2 buttons as well as their
associated LEDs are disengaged in Manual mode
because the notes you play on your keyboard determine
what the harmony notes are.
You can store a preset with the Manual function active
by holding the Preset button.
Advanced FX Style Select
Each effect style (Hall, Room etc.) has three selections.To
browse additional Hall sounds, for example, first cycle the
FX button to the Hall style, then hold the FX button.Tap
the FX button to sample the options that are numbered
in the preset display. Once you’ve found one you like, press
and hold the FX button to exit. Hold the Preset button to
store if desired. Note that cycling through the FX styles
again outside of Advanced FX mode will return your edit
to the default style.
How to Choose Alternate Tone Settings
The factory default setting for the Tone button
accomodates a wide range of singers but there are
options to further customize this feature.
To access the Alternate Tone settings, hold the Tone
button until you see the Preset number display flash.You
