About Auto Harmonize notes and tones

The notes you play on the keyboard are called “melody notes”, while the notes added to the melody by Auto Harmonize is called the “harmonize notes”. Auto Harmonize normally uses the tone you selected for the melody notes as the tone for the harmonize notes, but you can use the Mixer (page E-40) to specify a different tone for the harmonize notes. The harmonize note tone is assigned to Mixer Channel 5, so change Channel 5 to the tone you want to use for the harmonize notes.

In addition to the tone, you can also use the Mixer to change a number of other parameters, such as volume balance. See “Using the Parameter Edit Mode” on page E-41 for details on these procedures.

NOTE

•The default harmonize note tone when you first turn on Auto Harmonize is the same tone as the melody note tone.

•Changing the melody tone setting automatically changes the harmonize note tone to the same setting.
