MODAL

The harmony is generated by setting the KEY, TEMPLATE (specifies the interval, unison, 3rd, 5th,

etc.) and VOICING (specifies the harmony pattern) and receiving the root note of the harmony via

MIDI from the external MIDI keyboard. For example, with the song with its key in C major and its chord

progression in C-F-G-C format, after specifying the KEY, TEMPLATE and VOICING, playing the C

(Do) – F (Fa) – G (So) – C (Do) keys on the keyboard according to the chord progression while

singing into the microphone generates the appropriate harmonies.

Note: It is necessary to set the MIDI channel of both DecaBuddy and the external MIDI device to be

the same (refer to the MIDI SYSTEM in GLOBAL parameter).

✽ In MODAL mode, it is important to set the KEY appropriately as in STYLE mode (refer to On Key

in STYLE mode).
