Applying Harmony to Your Right-hand Melody
(HARMONY/ECHO)
Among the Voice Effects, Harmony is one of the most impressive. It automatically adds harmony parts to the notes you
play with your right hand—immediately giving you a more full and professional sound. For details on the Harmony/
Echo types, see page 89. An optional foot pedal can also be used to turn the effect on and off (page 194).
You can also use the Harmony effect with the style stopped (with the Stop Accompaniment function;
page 109). Simply hold down a chord with your left hand and play a melody with your right. Since the Har-
mony effect is added by detecting chords, if you play a melody with your right hand before playing any
chord, no Harmony effect is added to the notes.
1 Turn the [Harmony/Echo] button on.
2 Turn on both the [ACMP] button and [SYNC START] button (page 47) and make sure
that the RIGHT 1 part is on (page 30).
3 Play a chord with your left hand to start the style (page 47) and play some notes in
the right-hand range of the keyboard.
