the entire octave.

Note 1: “#” is indicated as small dot at top left of the alphabet, e.g. C# = [

•

C].

Note 2: The sign “-“ means that no harmony is specified. When the song has an excessive

vibrato that may overshoot/undershoot more than a semitone, this non-specifying harmony

may give natural, better tracking result.

Note 3: The indication of the User Style setting changes according to the Key selected.

Note 4: The Style Editing is available for User Styles only. The editing cannot be made

when the Preset Style is selected.

used to set the Style automatically.

control.

3. Set the PARAMETER control to INPUT and select the original note using the DATA control

(the left Value LED flashes).

5. When the pitch of the incoming signal is detected, the right Value indication flashes for 2

seconds and the harmony is set.

Repeat the steps 3 to 5 for the entire octave.

Note 1: The harmony may not be set correctly when the incoming signal level is low.

Note 2: When the PARAMETER control is set to INPUT, the tone of the note selected at

left Value is available at output

but no harmony note is generated even when the effect

is set to ON.

can be switched using the foot switch.
