Effect Connection and Harmony Types
The Harmony effect features four separate types: Vocoder, Chordal, Detune, and Chro-
matic.
Vocoder
This type produces up to three harmony notes, corresponding to the notes you play on
a connected MIDI keyboard. In other words, you can sing the melody and “play” the
harmony or harmonies from the keyboard, or you can have the harmonies automati-
cally generated by song data on a sequencer. (Page 13)
Chordal
This 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). Thirty-four
different chord types are recognized in this mode. (Page 19)
Detune
This type produces a slightly “detuned” pitch and mixes it with the input signal for a
rich chorusing effect. (Page 21)
Chromatic
This type produces a harmony at a predetermined, fixed pitch interval from the origi-
nal sound (such as an octave, or a third). (Page 22)
The included CD-ROM contains the following demonstration songs:
1. AMAZING.MID Amazing Grace
2. JINGLE.MID Jingle Bells
The Effect Type is set to Vocoder Harmony for these demonstration songs.
To setup the MU128 for demonstration play, connect the microphone to one of A/D INPUT jacks.
To setup the SW1000XG, connect the microphone to the External Audio Input terminal.
