Try singing into the microphone again. You can hear the different harmony from the one you heard
before editing. Up to this point, the harmony voices of 2 higher harmonies and 2 lower harmonies
are added to the original voice.
In CHORD mode, the rule in STYLE mode, i.e. L2 and L1 are being the lower harmonies and H1 and
H2 being the higher harmonies to the original voice, does not apply.
The higher harmony is added to the original voice when [HI] is selected in VOICING, and the lower
harmony is added to the original voice when [LO] is selected. For example, when [HI] is set to L2, L1,
H1 and H2, all harmonies added are higher than the original voice. Similarly, when [LO] is set to L2,
L1, H1 and H2, all harmonies added are lower than the original voice. The added harmony notes
depend on the CHORD selected.
✽
When [UN], [L8] or [H8] is selected in VOICING parameter, the harmony notes of Unison (UN), 1
Octave Down (L8) and 1 Octave Up (H8) are added regardless of the CHORD.
