EDIT Mode
As available in the Preset Programs, when the programs that generate the harmony by itself, i.e. STYLE or
CHORD, are used, the harmony is obtained just signing into the microphone. However, using the Preset
Program may not produce the optimum harmony for all songs. In order to obtain the optimum harmony for
the song you play, it may be necessary to make the settings accordingly.
