5. Harmony voice will play three voices pitched Bb2 seventh below F2 D2 third below F2 and F2 You see from the example that the notes played on the keyboard are not taken with their absolute notes only their relative intervalls are taken to for the harmony In other words Play a Major 7th chord at any base note and the result will be always the same You hear four voices tuned as Major 7th chord with the highest note having the pitch of your voice FOLLOW VOICE gt AUTO HARMONY If you want Harmony Voice to harmonize your melody automatically than this is the right option for you The underlying algorithm how the chords are constructed from your melody line was invented by the American composer David Kraehenbuehl Basically it takes the pitch you re currently singing and build a triad or dominant seventh chord with the highest note egual to the sung pitch The chord is based on the key and mood set in the Circle of fifth control in the center of the Harmony page To make the harmony more interesting Harmony Voice selects either the base chord or the 1st 2nd inversion of the chord This selection is made on a random basis FOLLOW KEY gt KEY HARMONY With Follow Key gt Key Harmony the notes played on the piano keyboard determine the pitch of the harmony The sung pitch doesn t matter any longer Up to four keys can be pressed simultaneously FOLLOW KEY gt AUTO HARMONY This mode works the same way as Follow Voice
