[. . . ] This function analyzes the notes you play and automatically adds notes from the Accompaniment chord (shown in the Main Screen when the Accompaniment is on), creating a "harmony" part (even if you are only playing single notes in the left and right hands). There are 10 types of Harmony. Block Open Jazz Rockn' Dynamic Duet Octave Octave Duet Vocal 1 Vocal 2 Adds three or four notes based on the chord. Harmony notes may extend over one octave below the lowest right-hand note. Adds a note at a fifth (or fourth) interval to the lowest note played in the RIGHT Part. Harmony notes are played within one octave below the lowest note played in the right hand. Adds a note according to the lowest note played in the right hand and based on the chord. Takes the highest note played in the right hand and doubles it an octave down. Adds a single note above the top note of the right hand based on the chord. The lowest note will always be the root of the chord. To use Harmony: Using a Style Step 1 Press the KBD HARMONY button. The button will be lit to show that it is active.

Touch the screen to select your desired Harmony type. Step 4 Press the EXIT button to leave the Harmony Select menu. Step 5 To turn off the Harmony, press the HARMONY button again. The additional notes created by Harmony are added to the RIGHT 1 Part, if that part is on. If the RIGHT 1 Part is off, the additional notes are added to the RIGHT 2 Part.

If the Accompaniment in not enabled, you will not be able to activate Harmony.
