Harmony Settings
OK to Load Harmonies With Songs
If set to YES, the harmony settings for each song will be loaded and saved with each song. If set to NO, the
harmony setting won’t be saved or leaded with the songs. If you are using a certain harmony, you should set this
setting to NO, otherwise you’ll have to keep re-selecting the harmony when you load in new songs.
Change Harmony With New Chords
Example: If a harmony is played on bar 1 on a C chord, and then the note is held as the chord changes to a Fm7
chord, (if this setting is set to YES) the harmony notes will change so that they will be still be playing chord tones.
If they don’t the harmony sounds dissonant. Leave this setting to YES, unless you have a specific reason to disable
it. The harmony is changed by moving the voices to the nearest chord tone.
Overall Harmony Volume Adjust
Sets a level for the overall harmony in a range of -128 to 128, with 0 leaving the settings as programmed in the
Harmony file.
Harmony Channels

these 4 harmony channels produces potentially 11 channels of information.
