The HarmonyMan™ features four different types of shifting depending on the
voicing that is selected using the Voice Knobs. The Triad-Centered, Scalic, and
Fixed Shifting voicings use a new ultra-clean, low-latency shifter technology
optimized for single note guitar soloing. The Detune voicings are optimized for
multi-note input and sound great with full chords.
Triad-Centered Shifting
Triad-centered shifting creates musically correct harmonies that are based
around root, 3rd, and 5th chordal structure along with their inversions. Triad-
centered voicings “favor” certain chordal structures. There are two sets of
triad-centered voicings (described below), indicated by uppercase (LL, for
example) and lowercase letters ( , for example) in the Voicing Displays. The
uppercase voicings are optimized for major scales, while the lowercase voicings
are optimized for minor scales.
When a rhythm guitar signal is plugged into the Sidechain Input jack, the triad-
centered harmonies follow the chord progression of the rhythm guitar to create
the most dynamic harmony line possible.
Triad-Centered Voicings (Note: exact shifts vary depending on input note and
currently detected scale or chord when using the Sidechain Input).
