Chord Mode Presets
In this mode the VOICE KEYS produce chord-
based harmonies. In chord mode presets, the
harmony voices are always notes in the chord.
For example, the ABOVE key produces a har-
mony voice the next note above the note of
the input voice in the chord. If the Chord was
C Major and the input note was an E, the
ABOVE key would produce a G harmony
voice, just above the input E. The voicing
options for chordal mode presets are shown
below.
Shift Mode Presets
In this mode the voices are shifted a fixed
amount relative to the input note. The voicing
options for Shift mode presets are shown
below.
VOICE KEYS
These are the keys with the musical note
icons. Pressing these keys results in the
enabling/disabling of the individual harmony
voices and selects the voicing. There is a max-
imum of four voices that may be activated at a
time.
The keys provide different results depending
on the harmony mode of the preset. A quick
guide legend is printed above the VOICE
KEYS on the front of the Quintet.
Scale Mode Presets
In this mode the VOICE KEYS produce scale-
based harmonies. It is important in Scale
mode harmonies that the correct key and scale
type of the song for which the preset is being
used is selected in the edit mode.
For a full description of Scale mode harmonies
please refer to the “Harmony and Tuning” sec-
tion of the manual.
