Select a Harmony/Echo Type
.............................................................................................
Use the [–/NO] and [+/YES] buttons, the number buttons or the data dial
to select one of the available harmony/echo types (listed below).
● The Harmony (01~10) / Echo (11~22) Types
Type Description
01: Duet This harmony type produces a duophonic melody with the
second voice below the melody line.
02: 1+5 A parallel voice is produced a fifth above the melody voice.
03: Country Similar to Duet, but the second voice is above the melody
line.
04: Trio This harmony type generates two voices in addition to the
melody voice.
05: Block Three or four notes are added to the melody to produce
four or five-note chords.
06: 4WayClose1 Three harmony notes are generated to produce a four-note
chord.
07: 4WayClose2 Similar to the preceding type, but depending on the chords
played this type will sometimes produce a more colorful
sound.
08: 4WayOpen Four-note chords with open voice (large intervals between
the notes). The result is a very “open” sound. Since the
harmony notes can be as much as two octaves below the
melody, avoid playing in the lower registers.
09: Octave One note is added an octave below the melody.
10: Strum The notes and assignments are the same as in the Block
type, but the notes are arpeggiated.
11: Echo1/4 This type creates quarter-note delayed repeats.
12: Echo1/6 This type creates quarter-note triplet delayed
repeats.
13: Echo1/8 This type creates 8th-note delayed repeats.
14: Echo1/12 This type creates 8th-note triplet delayed
repeats.
• If the VOICE SET function is ON
(page 69), the harmony/echo
type will change automatically
whenever a different voice is
selected via the VOICE function.
• The harmony/echo type can be
reset to its default by simultane-
ously pressing the [–/NO] and [+/
YES] buttons.
