Congratulations on your purchase of the Intelligent Harmony

Machine (IHM): a compact, harmony generating, polyphonic

pitch-shifting powerhouse! The IHM creates authentic sound-

ing diatonic harmonies—harmonies within a given key, tracked

from single notes—and performs polyphonic pitch-shifting—

xed pitch shifts independent of key, on both single notes

and chords—all from a standard electric guitar, bass or many

other electronic instruments. It accepts power from 9V bat-

teries and standard 9VDC center-negative power supplies. In

addition to the required input and output jacks, the IHM also

features a dry output jack for extra routing exibility.

WARNING: This device comes equipped with an Electro-Harmonix 9.6DC-200 power sup-

ply. It requires 26mA at 9VDC with a center negative plug. Use of the wrong adapter or

a plug with the wrong polarity may damage the device and void the warranty. Do not

exceed 10.5VDC on the power plug. Power supplies rated for less than 30mA will cause

the device to act unreliably.

Operating Instructions Insert the output plug from the supplied 9VDC AC adapter into the power jack at the top of the IHM, or make sure a working 9V battery is installed in the unit. The IHM must be powered to pass signal, even in bypass. Connect an instrument cable from your guitar to the INPUT jack. Connect an instrument cable between the OUTPUT jack and a suitable amplifier.
