Using Auto Harmonize

Auto harmonize does not work when you select full range chord auto accompaniment or no auto accompaniment.

The harmony melody in auto harmonize mode uses Channel 5. You can change the tone or volume setting of the harmony by using the keyboard’s mixer function (see “Using the Mixer”).

Using the Mixer

Normally, keyboard play is assigned to Channel 1. When you use auto accompaniment, parts are assigned to Channels 6–10.

When you use the keyboard as the sound source for another MIDI device, all 16 channels are assigned musical instrument parts, Channel 10 is reserved for drum parts only, per MIDI standard.

The mixer settings also affect the corresponding MIDI output.

When using auto-accompaniment in the fingered or concert chord modes, press AUTO HARMONIZE to automatically add harmony to your melodies. The indicator next to AUTO HARMONIZE lights, and the keyboard adds harmony based on the chord playing on the accompaniment key section.

The keyboard plays multiple parts at the same time in up to 16 separate channels during auto accompaniment, or memory playback, or when receiving MIDI data. You can control the on/off setting, volume, and parameters of each of the keyboard’s channels just as you would with a sound mixer.

This table shows the parts assigned to each channel. ￿
