25—Harmony
Roland VS-2000 Owner’s Manual www.RolandUS.com 331
Harmony Module Part-Specific Parameters
Each part has its own set of three parameters:
•
FORMANT
—controls the frequency content of the part’s harmony. You can change
the timbre of a harmony, or even the apparent gender of its singer, by adjusting its
formant.
•
PAN
—sets the position of the part’s harmony in the FX Return channel, or in the
stereo image recorded on two hard disk recorder tracks.
•
LEVEL
—sets the part’s volume relative to the other parts.
Harmony Patch Storage
Saving Harmony Patches
From either HARMONY MODULE screen (Page 329), press F5 (SAVE) to store your
current Harmony module settings as a patch. The procedure for saving a Harmony
patch is identical to the procedure used for saving effect patches. To learn how to save
effect patches, see “Saving Effect Patches” on Page 223.
Entering Harmony Notes
You can select, or enter, the desired Harmony notes using the VS-2000’s TRACK/
STATUS buttons or a connected MIDI controller such as a MIDI keyboard. When you
select a note on the TRACK/STATUS buttons or a MIDI keyboard, Harmony produces a
copy of the source track’s note at the selected pitch. The harmony therefore always
matches the phrasing of the source track in time.
Single Note and Chord Entry
Enter single note harmonies or entire chords, according to the setting of the Harmony
sequencer’s INPUT MODE NOTE/Chrd parameter (Page 337). When it’s set to:
•
NOTE
—you can enter individual harmony lines using the TRACK/STATUS buttons
described in, or a MIDI keyboard controller.
•
Chrd
—you can enter full chords using the TRACK/STATUS buttons described in, or
a MIDI keyboard controller.
To set the final level of the harmonies as a group, adjust their FX return channel levels.
The HARMONY MODULE EDIT PART screen also provides an FX RTN LEVEL meter
that shows the Harmony level. To view the basic Harmony level, set the meter to Pre. To
view its level as affected by the LEVEL settings on each screen, set the meter to Pst.
Part parameters are
available for as many parts
as your allocated effect
boards allow. In this
illustration, the internal
effects and one VS8F-2
are assigned to Harmony.
Parts 5 and 6 are
unavailable.
