CHORD
In Chordal mode, the following parameters determine which data in a Song is used
for chord detection.
OFF:
Chords are not detected from the Song data.
XF:
Chords of XF format are used for the Vocal Harmony.
1–16:
Chords are detected from note data in the specified Song channel.
The separate point of the Keyboard settings (OFF/UPPER/LOWER) is Split Point (L).
NOTE
When the settings of both keyboard performance and Song data are applied, those settings are merged
to control the harmony.
NOTE
The Vocal Harmony may not work properly regardless of the setting here depending on the Song data.
This occurs when the selected Song contains no chord data or has insufficient note data for chord
detection.
