EDIT Mode

It is not possible to obtain the correct harmony when the KEY setting of the program and that of the

actual song are different. Set the appropriate KEY according to the song.

The program in DecaBuddy using the STYLE generates the harmonies automatically according to

the melody of the input signal. However, it is important to set the appropriate KEY and STYLE in

order to obtain the correct harmony.

The STYLE automatically adjusts the interval of the harmony according to the note of the input, not

just adding the harmony of fixed interval to the melody input. For example, if the style 3E is set for

the song in C major, it generates E (major 3rd) note for the C note input but generates F (minor

3rd) note for the D note input.

In this way, by adjusting the interval of harmony depending on the input note, it can generate the

harmony more musically. To obtain the musical harmony, it is inevitable to set the KEY and select

the STYLE appropriately matched to the song.

When there is a modulation in the middle of the song, a single setting of KEY/STYLE may not be

enough to cover the entire song. In such a case, you may need to pre-arrange the User Styles

and/or Programs customized for the song and switch them in the middle of the song. Also, using

the Sub Parameter (refer to Sub Parameters), the Key and/or Style could be switched temporarily.

The Programs can be switched using the footswitch and/or via the MIDI Program Change from the

external MIDI devices.

Editing the STYLE Program

Here, we use the PROGRAM A in BANK17 to explain editing the STYLE Program. Select the

PROGRAM A in BANK17 ([17A Oct Unison] displayed on screen) using the BANK/DATA control

and PROGRAM A button.

Before editing, sing into the microphone. The harmonies of 1 Octave Up and 1 Octave Down are

added to the original voice. Let’s edit this program to add the harmony of major 3rd in C key.

1. Press the EDIT button (the EDIT LED lights up). Confirm that the lower line of the screen shows

[STYLE]. (If not, press the < button to move the cursor down to the lower line of the screen and

then select [STYLE] using the BANK/DATA control. Press the EDIT button to move the cursor up

to the upper line of the screen.)

2. Turn the BANK/DATA control to select KEY parameter. Confirm that the lower screen line shows

[C/Am]. (If not, select [C/Am] using the steps described above.)

3. Turn the BANK/DATA control to select VOICING parameter. The lower screen line shows [8v, 8v,

- -, 8v, 8v].
