Let’s try Harmony!
Navigate to Preset No. 2 (“Classic 3
rd
up”) using
the Preset up/Preset down switches or the Con-
trol Knob.
► Make sure that you are on the Vocal Layer.
The LEDs around the footswitches should be
blue. If they are not, press the Layer button.
► You should see the Reverb, HIT and Harmony
footswitch lit in blue.
If Harmony and HIT are not lit, press the HIT
button.
Preset 2 (“Classic 3rd up”)
If you are a guitar playing singer, you can play
your guitar and sing now. You should hear a har-
mony following your lead vocal and also hear
some guitar effects.
If you are a singer, and if you have set the key/
scale correctly in the previous step, the harmo-
nies should follow your lead melody correctly.
Even if you play an instrument that could be
used for NaturalPlay, you may want to try setting
the key/scale manually. Why? The manual set-
tings can give a slightly different harmony out-
put than the one you get when playing chords
(NaturalPlay). You may prefer one or the oth-
er depending on the song you are playing and
singing. It is not uncommon for advanced users
to utilize NaturalPlay for some Presets and Key/
Scale for others.
