Using the HarmonyMan

TM

Automatically Set the Key and Scale

Make sure the 

musIQ

TM

 button is lit. (If it’s not lit, press it once.)

Make sure the 

On

 LED is not lit. If it is lit, press the 

Harmony On/Off

 

footswitch once.
Play some chords until one of the 

Harmony Key Display

 LEDs turns 

yellow and then turns green. The key and scale have now been set. Note 
that even when a 

Harmony Key 

LED is yellow, that key and scale will be 

used if the harmonies are engaged.

Manually Set the Key and Scale

Press and hold the 

Memory Select

 footswitch for approximately 1 second.  

The 

musIQ

 button will flash and a red LED will cycle around the 

Harmony 

Key Display

Continue to hold down the footswitch and strum a chord to set the key 
and scale accordingly. For example, if you strum an Am chord, the C/Am 
LED in the 

Harmony Key Display

 turns green. The output is muted when 

manually setting the key and scale.
Release the 

Memory Select

 footswitch. 

Reset the musIQ

TM

 Feature’s Memory

If you have manually set the key, but want the HarmonyMan

TM

 to automatically 

detect the key again, you can reset the musIQ feature’s memory and turn the 
musIQ feature back on. Resetting the musIQ memory erases any chordal 
history that previously existed.

Make sure the 

On

 LED is not lit. If it is lit, turn it off using the 

Harmony 

On/Off

 footswitch.

Press and hold the 

Memory Select

 footswitch for approximately 1 second. 

The musIQ button flashes and a red LED cycles around the 

Harmony Key 

Display

.  

Release the 

Memory Select

 footswitch without strumming a chord. In this 

example, any previous note information in the musIQ feature’s memory 
is cleared and the musIQ feature is enabled. This will result in faster key 
tracking, for example, when starting a new song after a previous song has 
ended.
