Explanation

My Voice

The melody played on the keyboard is played as the harmony.
The harmony is added to your voice regardless of the pitch.

Duo1

The added harmony matches the chords specified on the
keyboard. Adding harmony to a single voice gives the effect of
two people singing together.

Duo2

Variety

The melody played on the keyboard is played as the harmony.
The harmony added is matched to the pitch; for example, higher
pitches are used for female voices, lower pitches for male voices.

Trio

The added harmony matches the chords specified on the
keyboard. This adds a two-voice harmony that makes it seem that
a trio is singing.

Chord

The added harmony matches the chords specified on the
keyboard.
You can change the way harmonies are added with the Melody
Intelligence type (p. 72).

Unison

Sounds like two people singing the same melody.

Oct-Up

Adds another voice one octave higher than the original.

Oct-Down

Adds another voice one octave lower than the original.

5th Up

Adds harmony a fifth above the original.

3rd Up

Adds harmony a third above the original.

4th Down

Adds harmony a major fourth below the original.

When you use the Harmonist

function, the resonance setting

for the piano (see p. 152) may

sometimes be reset. And the

effects applied to the keyboard

(p. 42) may be canceled.

NOTE

With some Harmonist types,

you may not be able to play

harmony with some of the

vocals on the enclosed CD.
