Using the Harmony Effect
This section guides you through the steps of setting up and using the Harmony effect. Since the
PLG100-VH functions as an Insertion effect, it can be edited in the same fashion as the other
Insertion effects in the XG tone generator.
• Keep in mind that actual operation procedures may differ depending on which XG device you are using, the
MU128 or SW1000XG. In general, the instructions below assume you are using the MU128. On the whole, these
instructions are also applicable to the SW1000XG; however, since the SW1000XG has no panel controls, you’ll
need to use the corresponding software controls in the XGworks software. For specific operating instructions on
either the MU128 or SW1000XG, refer to the corresponding owner’s manual.
• When the Performance (PFM) mode is selected, the effect settings change when a different Performance number
is selected. To avoid this, make sure to store the Performance after editing. (Performance is not available on the
SW1000XG.)
Operation
Z Set up the MIDI keyboard or sequencer.
Do this if you wish to control the Harmony effect from a MIDI keyboard or with song
data played on a MIDI sequencer.
To do this:
1) Connect the MIDI device.
If the tone generator features both MIDI IN-A and B ports, connect the MIDI
device to the A port.
X Set up the A/D Part on the MU128 or SW1000XG.
To do this:
1) Connect a microphone to the A/D INPUT jack (INPUT 1 on the MU128).
2) Set the device’s MIDI transmit channel to 1 (or to the same channel you’ll be
setting in step #3 below).
• When the Harmony Type is set to Detune or Chromatic (pages 21~23), Harmony is unaffected by
a connected MIDI device.
HINT
• If you are using a sequencer to control the Harmony effect, dedicate one track of the song data
for control purposes, and set this to a MIDI channel different from all other tracks. (This chan-
nel setting should be matched in step #3 below.)
• Also, you’ll want to make sure that the connected keyboard or sequencer doesn’t sound any of the
MU128’s Parts. If one or more Parts are set to the same MIDI channel (as set above), change the
MIDI channel setting of the Part(s), or set the volume of the Part(s) to 0, or mute the Part(s).
2) Select Part “A/D1,” then select the “Mic” preset (bank #000, program #002).
