Making More Detailed Backing Chorus Settings (Harmony Event Map)
In Version 2, when applying backing chorus, you can now
specify precisely the time and pitches in the harmony and the
backing chorus ON/OFF status. This allows you, for
example, to freely add harmonies to solo vocals. In adding
detailed backing chorus, the time at which the backing
chorus starts and stops and the pitches used in the harmonies
are specified together. This timing and pitch data is referred
to as the “
Harmony Event Map
.”

Harmony Event Map.

as a “
harmony event
.”

You can freely add backing chorus wherever you want
in the song by arranging harmony events in the
preferred sequence.
The sequence of harmony events with the information
they contain is called a “
harmony event map
.”

the beginning of the harmony event map.
