Editing the MODAL Program

Here, we use the PROGRAM A in BANK41 to explain editing the MODAL Program. Select the PROGRAM A

in BANK41 ([41A C6th Modal] displayed on screen) using the BANK/DATA control and PROGRAM A button.

We will create the program to make the appropriate harmonies when the song with its key in C major

and its chord progression in C-F-G-C format is played.

1. Press the EDIT button. Confirm that the lower line of the screen shows [MODAL]. (If not, press

the < button to move the cursor down to the lower line of the screen and then select [MODAL]

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. Confirm that the lower screen line shows [C/Am]. (If

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

3. Select TEMPLATE parameter using the BANK/DATA control. The lower line of the screen shows

[1-3-56-].

4. Press the < button to move the cursor down to the lower line of the screen. In this example, as we

add the harmonies of 1st (unison), 3rd and 5th, we will turn the 6th OFF.

5. Press the > button to move the cursor to [6] and change it to [-] using the BANK/DATA control.

6. Press the EDIT button to move the cursor up to the upper line of the screen.

7. Select VOICING parameter using the BANK/DATA control. The lower line of the screen shows

[UN, UN, - -, UN, UN].

8. Press the < button to move the cursor down to the lower line (L2) of the screen.

9. Change [UN] to [H1] using the BANK/DATA control.

10. Press the > button to move the cursor to L1 and change [UN] to [H2].

In similar way, change the H1 setting from UN to [H3] and H2 setting from [UN] to [H4]. The

screen now shows [H1, H2, - -, H3, H4].

While singing into the microphone, when the C (Do) – F (Fa) – G (So) – C (Do) notes are played on

the keyboard, the appropriate harmonies are generated.

Since we set the H1, H2, H3 and H4 settings in this example, specifying the root note of C on the

keyboard while singing in C (Do), the harmonies of E (Mi), G (So), C (Do) and E (Mi) are generated.

If the VOICING parameter is set as L1, L2, L3 and L4, the harmonies of G (So), E (Mi), C (Do) and G

(So) are generated.

FLEXICHORD

The harmony is generated by the chord automatically detected based on the MIDI note information of

3 note chord received from the external MIDI keyboard or Sequencer. The appropriate harmonies to

the original voice can easily be made by just playing the chord on the keyboard.

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).
