Chapter 8 Adding Harmonies in a Specific Key (The Harmonist)
Selecting Harmony Tones (HAR/
ARP SELECT)
The “HAR/ARP SELECT” (Harmony/Arpeggio select)
parameter for each patch determines whether the 1st tone,
the 2nd tone, or an external sound generator produces the
harmony.
■ Setting Harmony Select
1. Select the patch for which Harmonist settings are to be
modified, and press [EFFECTS] to go into Patch Edit
mode.
2. Press [PARAMETER] to select “HAR/ARP SELECT.”
fig.8-03
3. Turn [VALUE] to select the desired Harmonist setting.
For the harmonist settings in “HAR/ARP SELECT,” see
the subsequent section, “Harmonist Settings that can be
selected in HAR/ARP SELECT.”
4. Press [WRITE] to perform the Patch Write operation (p.
36).
To move to a different Harmonist parameter, use
[PARAMETER] to select the desired parameter, and turn
[VALUE] to change its setting.
* After performing the Patch Write operation, you will
automatically return to Play mode.
* If you don’t want to save the Patch, press [PLAY] to return to
Play mode.
◆ Harmonist Settings that can be selected in
HAR/ARP SELECT
Harmony All:
All tones—from the internal sound generator and the
external MIDI sound generator—produce harmonies.
Harmony 1st:
The 1st tone of the internal sound generator produces
harmony.
Harmony 2nd:
The 2nd tone of the internal sound generator produces
harmony.
Harmony 1&2:
Both the 1st and 2nd tones produce harmony.
Harmony Ext:
The external MIDI sound generator produces harmony.
Harmony Ext&1:
The 1st tone and the external MIDI sound generator produce
harmony.
Harmony Ext&2:
The 2nd tone and the external MIDI sound generator
produce harmony.
* You can also set the subsequent parameters—Arpeggio All,
Arpeggio 1st, ..., Arpeggio Ext&2—but choosing one of these
causes Harmonist to stop and selects Arpeggiator (p. 76).
Please note that if Arpeggiator is chosen here, it is not possible
to set the “HARMONY STYLE,” “HARMONY KEY,” or
“HARMONY REMOTE” parameters.
Setting Harmonic Intervals
(HARMONY STYLE)
The interval between the melody and harmony that
Harmonist uses—a third, a fifth, or the like—is set with the
“HARMONY STYLE” parameter.
■ Setting the Harmony Style
1. Select the patch for which Harmony Style settings are
to be modified, and press [EFFECTS] to go into Patch
Edit mode.
2. Press [PARAMETER] to select “HARMONY STYLE.”
fig.8-04
3. Turn [VALUE] to select the desired harmony style
interval.
An interval of -7th, -6th, -5th, -4th, -3rd, -2nd, +2nd,
+3rd, +4th, +5th, +6th, +7th, or Diminish can be selected.
“Diminish” produces a harmony that is always a
diminished third (three semitones) from the melody,
regardless of the HARMONY KEY setting. This is useful
when playing in a diminished scale.
4. Press [WRITE] to perform the Patch Write operation (p.
36).
To move to a different Harmonist parameter, use
[PARAMETER] to select the desired parameter, and turn
[VALUE] to change its setting.
* After performing the Patch Write operation, you will
automatically return to Play mode.
* If you don’t want to save the Patch, press [PLAY] to return to
Play mode.
