Editing the FLEXICHORD Program
Here, we use the PROGRAM A in BANK43 to explain editing the FLEXICHORD Program. Select
the PROGRAM A in BANK43 ([43A Easy Chord] displayed on screen) using the BANK/DATA
control and PROGRAM A button.
Now, sing into the microphone and play the 3 note chord on the keyboard. The appropriate harmony
to your vocal is added.
At this time, the pitch of MIDI note input is irrelevant to the automatic detection of the chord. Also, it
does not affect the automatic detection of the chord even if the notes of the inverted chord are applied.
✽
Even if the 3 MIDI notes are received, it may not generate the harmony if they don’t comprise of
the chord.

MONO CHN.
The harmony is generated by receiving the MIDI note information for each harmony on separate MIDI
channels.
This mode is useful when using the external sequencer recorded on the separate tracks on separate
MIDI channels for each harmony. By using the sequence data, each harmony can be controlled
individually.
The MIDI channel of the harmony L2 is the MIDI channel specified at Base in MIDI SYSTEM plus 1.
Similarly, the MIDI channels for the harmony L1 is the base channel plus 2, for the harmony H1 is plus
3 and for the harmony H2 is plus 4.
(Example)
MIDI channel set at Base in MIDI SYSTEM (e.g. 1ch)
Harmony L2 > Base + 1 channel (e.g. 2ch)
Harmony L1 > Base + 2 channel (e.g. 3ch)
Harmony H1 > Base + 3 channel (e.g. 4ch)
Harmony H2 > Base + 4 channel (e.g. 5ch)
