Quick Guide 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). 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. Split Point Chord section In this example, harmony notes in the scale of C major (the chord played in the left hand) are automatically added to the notes played in the Chord section right-hand range of the keyboard. 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 Harmony 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. Try out Harmony/Echo with some of the voices below... Many of the voices have been automatically set to play certain Harmony/Echo types that match the particular voice. Try out some of the voices below-playing chords with your left hand and melodies with your right-and listen to the various Harmony and Echo effects. Category Voice Name Harmony/Echo Type Piano Live!
