EFFECTS HARMONY The Harmony section features a variety of performance effects that enhance the melodies you play when using the accompaniment styles of the PortaTone. A total of twenty-six Harmony types are available. Tremolo, Trill and Echo effects can be used even if accompaniment is off. There are five different Harmony Types that automatically create harmony parts (for notes played in the upper section of the keyboard) to match the accompaniment chords. 1 Turn on the Harmony effect. Press the HARMONY button. The Harmony effect can also be turned on and off with a connected footswitch (page 91), or from Function parameter #37 (page 44).

If the Harmony Volume is set to a value near or at "000," the Harmony effect may not be heard. These settings are not saved when you turn off the power. If you wish to save them, save them to a User bank in the One Touch Setting feature (page 72). 43
