EFFECT

HARMONIST
Harmonist is an effect where the amount of shifting is adjusted according
to an analysis of the guitar input, allowing you to create harmony based
on diatonic scales .
* Because of the need to analyze the pitch, chords (two or more sounds
played simultaneously) cannot be played .
* When you are to play the next string while a certain sound is still playing,
mute the previous sound and then play the next one with a clear attack .
If the unit cannot detect the attack, it may not sound correctly .
* The sensitivity may vary according to the guitar’s TONE knob and pickup
type .
* You cannot use the Harmonist effect with audio input via USB .
Parameter Value Explanation
VOICE
Selects the number of voices for the pitch shift sound .
1-VOICE
One-voice pitch-shifted sound output in
monaural .
2-MONO
Two-voice pitch-shifted sound (HR1, HR2) output
in monaural .
2-STEREO
Two-voice pitch-shifted sound (HR1, HR2) output
through left and right channels .
HR1:HARM
HR2:HARM -2 oct–+2 oct,
USER
This determines the pitch of the sound added
to the input sound, when you are making a
harmony .
It allows you to set it by up to 2 octaves higher
or lower than the input sound . When the scale
is set to USER, this parameter sets the user scale
number to be used .
MASTER KEY C(Am)–B(G#m)
The key setting corresponds to the key of the
song (#, b) as follows .
Major
Major
Minor
Minor
HR1:PRE DLY
HR2:PRE DLY 0 ms–300 ms,
BPM –
Adjusts the time from when the direct sound
is heard until the harmonist sounds are heard .
Normally you can leave this set at 0 ms .
* When set to BPM, the value of each parameter
will be set according to the value of the
“MASTER BPM” specified for each patch . This
makes it easier to achieve effect sound settings
that match the tempo of the song .
* If, due to the tempo, the time is longer than
the range of allowable settings, it is then
synchronized to a period either 1/2 or 1/4 of
that time .
HR1:F .BACK 0–100
Adjusts the feedback amount of the harmonist
sound .
HR1:LEVEL
HR2:LEVEL
0–100 Adjusts the volume of the harmony sound .
DIRECT MIX 0–100 Adjusts the volume of the direct sound .

Specify the note name of the output sound . The minus (-) and plus (+) symbols
indicate sounds above or below the set note name . Triangles next to the note names
indicate octaves . One downward-pointing triangle indicates a note one octave below
the note displayed; two triangles indicates a two-octave drop . One upward-pointing
triangle indicates a note one octave above the note displayed; two triangles indicates
a two-octave rise .
* Effective with USER selected for HARM parameter .
SOUND HOLD
You can have sound played on the guitar be held continuously . This effect
allows you to perform the melody in the upper registers while holding a
note in the lower registers .
* This function will not work properly when two or more notes are played
simultaneously .
Parameter Value Explanation
HOLD OFF, ON
Switches the hold sound on and off .
Normally, this is controlled with the CTL
pedals .
• It is assumed that this parameter will be
assigned to the footswitch .
• Patches are written with the HOLD
parameter set to Off .
RISE TIME 0–100
Adjusts how rapidly the Sound Hold sound
is produced .
EFFECT LEVEL 0–120 Adjusts the volume of the hold sound .
