Harmony Parameters

The Vocoder type produces up to three harmony notes whose pitches correspond to the

notes you play on a connected MIDI keyboard. In other words, you can sing the melody

and “play” the harmony or harmonies from the keyboard (or from a sequencer). The

Harmony sound can also be transposed (see the Mode parameter below).

• When more than four MIDI notes are received, priority is given first to the most recently played notes,
then the highest notes. (In other words, the harmonies of lower notes and earlier notes are cut off.)
HINT
The Vocoder Type is best suited when:
• You want to determine the precise harmony notes yourself, including their octave register and whether
they are above or below the original melody note.
• You want to use harmony notes and voicings that fall outside the standard chords available in the
Chordal type (below).
• You can play the harmony part on the keyboard, or have it played on a sequencer.
• You want to precisely control how the harmony note or notes change pitch around a fixed melody pitch.
