Chapter 11: User Programmable Functions 170

For example, in the Shearing Quintet harmony, we want the 2nd voice of the

Piano part to drop down an octave when the melody note is higher than MIDI

note 68 (the Ab above middle C). So when the melody is higher than this, the

harmony will become a “drop 2” voicing.

There is also an Overall Harmony Octave setting, available by pressing the

[More…] button that changes the octave of the entire harmony.

O. Double (Octave Double)

This setting lets you double any voice. Usually you want to do this by doubling

an octave below (i.e. octave =-1), but you can set the octave from -2 to +2. (The

doubling will always be on the same channel, if you want a different instrument

to double the voice, then use the Melody Doubling Voices.)

For the Shearing Quintet harmony, the only voice that needs a doubling like this

is the Piano melody, so we'll set this to = -1 on mel (the melody voice).

V. Boost (Velocity Boost)

This allows you to increase or decrease the velocity (loudness) of each voice, to

make the voice stand out more or less in the harmony. Default =0.

For the Shearing Harmony, we set the Melody to a boost of 10, and the vibes

and guitar to a negative boost of (-5, and -20). This makes the piano stand out,

and the vibes and guitar quieter.

The Patches setting at the bottom allows you to assign a patch to the harmony.

If you set “No Patch change” the harmony won't change the patch. This is a

useful setting for making a generic harmony that doesn't change the patch of the

Melody or Thru channel for example.

For the Shearing Quintet harmony, we will set the patches as follows:

Channel A: Piano

Channel B: Vibes

Channel C: Guitar

When we have made changes to the harmony, we

will hear these changes on the harmony channel. Important note: You need to

press the UPDATE button after you've made any changes for the changes

to take effect.

You make Copy a Harmony to the ClipBoard, and then move to a new harmony

and PASTE the harmony to the new location.

For example, if you want to make a harmony similar to the Shearing Quintet

harmony, choose [Copy], move to a new harmony, and choose [Paste]. Then

1 2 ... 165 166 167 168 169 170 171 172 173 174 175 ... 266 267
