Harmony Types

Reverb Types

No. Type Description
01 Duet Harmony types 01–05 are pitch-based and add one-, two- or three-note harmonies to the single-
note melody played in the right hand. These types sound when chords are played in the auto
accompaniment range of the keyboard. These Harmony types will also work when playing songs
that contain chord data.
02 Trio
03 Block
04 Country
05 Octave
06 Trill 1/4 note
Types 6–26 are rhythm-based effects and add embellishments or delayed repeats in
time with the auto accompaniment. These types sound whether the auto accompani-
ment is on or not; however, the actual speed of the effect depends on the Tempo setting
(page 64). The individual note values in each type let you synchronize the effect pre-
cisely to the rhythm. Triplet settings are also available: 1/6 = quarter-note triplets, 1/12 =
eighth-note triplets, 1/24 = sixteenth-note triplets.
The Trill effect Types (06–12) create two-note trills (alternating notes) when two notes
are held.
• The Tremolo effect Types (13–19) repeat all held notes (up to four).
• The Echo effect Types (20–26) create delayed repeats of each note played.
