HARMONIST
Harmonist is an eect where the amount of shifting is adjusted according
to an analysis of the guitar input, allowing you to create harmony based
on diatonic scales.
* Because of the need to analyze the pitch, chords (two or more sounds
played simultaneously) cannot be played.
* When you are to play the next string while a certain sound is still playing,
mute the previous sound and then play the next one with a clear attack.
If the unit cannot detect the attack, it may not sound correctly.
* The sensitivity may vary according to the guitar’s TONE knob and pickup
type.
* You cannot use the Harmonist eect with audio input via USB.
Parameter Value Explanation
VOICE
Selects the number of voices for the pitch shift sound.
1-VOICE
One-voice pitch-shifted sound output in
monaural.
2-MONO
Two-voice pitch-shifted sound (HR1, HR2) output
in monaural.
2-STEREO
Two-voice pitch-shifted sound (HR1, HR2) output
through left and right channels.
HR1:HARM
HR2:HARM
-2 oct–+2 oct,
USER
This determines the pitch of the sound added
to the input sound, when you are making a
harmony.
It allows you to set it by up to 2 octaves higher
or lower than the input sound. When the scale
is set to USER, this parameter sets the user scale
number to be used.
MASTER KEY C(Am)–B(G#m)
The key setting corresponds to the key of the
song (#, b) as follows.
Major
Major
Minor
Minor
HR1:PRE DLY
HR2:PRE DLY
0 ms–300 ms,
BPM
–
Adjusts the time from when the direct sound
is heard until the harmonist sounds are heard.
Normally you can leave this set at 0 ms.
* When set to BPM, the value of each parameter
will be set according to the value of the
“MASTER BPM” specied for each patch. This
makes it easier to achieve eect sound settings
that match the tempo of the song.
* If, due to the tempo, the time is longer than
the range of allowable settings, it is then
synchronized to a period either 1/2 or 1/4 of
that time.
HR1:F.BACK 0–100
Adjusts the feedback amount of the harmonist
sound.
HR1:LEVEL
HR2:LEVEL
0–100 Adjusts the volume of the harmony sound.
DIRECT MIX 0–100 Adjusts the volume of the direct sound.

Specify the note name of the output sound. The minus (-) and plus (+) symbols
indicate sounds above or below the set note name. Triangles next to the note names
indicate octaves. One downward-pointing triangle indicates a note one octave below
the note displayed; two triangles indicates a two-octave drop. One upward-pointing
triangle indicates a note one octave above the note displayed; two triangles indicates
a two-octave rise.
* Eective with USER selected for HARM parameter.
SOUND HOLD
You can have sound played on the guitar be held continuously. This eect
allows you to perform the melody in the upper registers while holding a
note in the lower registers.
* This function will not work properly when two or more notes are played
simultaneously.
Parameter Value Explanation
HOLD OFF, ON
Switches the hold sound on and o.
Normally, this is controlled with the CTL
pedals.
• It is assumed that this parameter will be
assigned to the footswitch.
• Patches are written with the HOLD
parameter set to O.
RISE TIME 0–100
Adjusts how rapidly the Sound Hold sound
is produced.
EFFECT LEVEL 0–120 Adjusts the volume of the hold sound.
