✽
The MIDI note information received are assigned to the harmony part, i.e. L2, L1, H1 and h2, in
the order of note number.
For example, when the settings of BUDDIES are as [ , --, , , ] and the C5, E5 and G5
note chord is played from the external MIDI keyboard, the harmony notes are assigned as
C5=L2, E5=H1 and G5=H2.
PRIORITY
The harmony is generated when one to four MIDI note information is received from the external MIDI
keyboard. Not like in WAIT ALL mode, it is easier to use as the harmony can be generated with only
one MIDI note received, but the harmony part changes depending on the order of MIDI notes played
for the chord.
Note: The MIDI channels of the DecaBuddy and the external MIDI device that transmits the MIDI
information must be set the same (refer to MIDI SYSTEM in GLOBAL parameter).
Here, we use the PROGRAM A in BANK49 to explain editing the PRIORITY Program.
Select the PROGRAM A in BANK4 ([49A Synth Vox] displayed on screen) using the BANK/DATA
control and PROGRAM A button.

the < button to move the cursor down to the lower line of the screen and then select [PRIORITY]
using the BANK/DATA control. Press the EDIT button to move the cursor up to the upper line of the
screen.)
