Topic: Selecting harmony button effects

[Dupe]

I've had my SX700 for a few months now, and very satisfied with its performance. However, I'm still very much a novice, when it comes to using its many features. Having only two fingers on my right hand to play with, and restricted wrist movement, I always use the voice effect > (harmony/arpeggio) button, it adds more depth, richness, and fulness to my right-hand playing, especially on piano pieces. Works well when playing with styles of course, but when I just want to play without styles, using just the keyboard for practice or solo piano playing, the voice effect button is then lost. My question is can the voice effect be reinstated somehow without styles being selected?
Hope this makes sense.

The harmony effect relies on a chord being specified by the left hand (within the 'chord detection area').

You don't have to have a style running, or even have its volume up, but you do need to tell the keyboard what chord to harmonize to.

For example, you could set the bottom octave to be the chord detection area, with single finger chord detection, and switch off all the style channels. Don't start the style, but do switch on ACMP. Then with your left hand you could press just the key(s) to indicate the chord you wanted, and the right hand notes would generate the harmony.

Hi Dupe,

You can use Keyboard Harmony either when ACMP is ON (Left Part on or off) or when ACMP is OFF but Left Part is ON. Please also refer to pages 50/51 in the SX700 Owner's Manual.

By the way, for important information about making Detailed Settings for Keyboard Harmony see pages 44/45 of the SX700 Reference Manual.


Hope this helps!

Best regards,
Chris
