Harmony Parameters
Chordal Harmony Parameters
The Chordal type produces up to three harmony notes that correspond to the chords you
play on a connected MIDI keyboard (or chords recorded to a sequencer). For example, if
you play a C major triad on the keyboard (with Chordal Mode set to “trio”) and sing a C
note, the resulting harmonies will be C, E, and G. Thirty-four different chord types are
recognized in this mode (see list below), giving you an amazingly full and flexible palette
of harmonies, suitable for nearly any music style. The number of harmonies produced and
their position above or below the melody is set in the Mode parameter (page 20).
In general, the Chordal Type is best suited when you want to simply play the chords and have the
Harmony effect automatically sort out the suitable notes.
