EFFECTS

HARMONY

The Harmony section features a variety of performance effects that enhance the melodies you play when using the accompaniment styles of the PortaTone. A total of twenty-six Harmony types are available.

Tremolo, Trill and Echo effects can be used even if accompaniment is off. There are five different Harmony Types that automatically create harmony parts (for notes played in the upper section of the keyboard) to match the accompaniment chords.

1 Turn on the Harmony effect.

Press the HARMONY button.

Restoring the Default Value

If you’ve changed the parameter setting, you can instantly restore the default setting by pressing both +/- buttons simultaneously.

The Harmony effect can also be turned on and off with a connected footswitch (page 91), or from Function parameter #37 (page 44).

•For the first five Harmony Types (Duet, Trio, Block, Country, and Octave), chords must be played in the Accompaniment section of the keyboard.

•The speed of the Trill, Tremolo, and Echo effects depends on the Tempo setting (page 76).

If the Harmony Volume is set to a value near or at “000,” the Harmony effect may not be heard.

These settings are not saved when you turn off the power. If you wish to save them, save them to a User bank in the One Touch Setting feature (page 72).
