[. . . ] Connect the Left (Mono) output jack to your amp or mixer input. Adjust Levels and Tune Your Guitar 1. 2. 5. Observe the Signal LED above the Mix knob and play your guitar. Adjust the output level of your guitar until the Signal LED stays lit green while you play at performance level. (The Signal LED turns green when a guitar signal is detected in the Guitar Clean Input, yellow when the guitar signal is approaching levels that may clip, and red when the signal may be clipping and may degrade the ability of the HarmonyMan to detect the guitar notes. ) Gradually increase the volume of your amp or PA until you reach a comfortable listening level. Press and hold the Harmony On/Off footswitch until the On LED flashes and then release the Harmony On/Off footswitch. The Voice 1 Display shows the note you're playing, and the Tuner Display indicates if the note is sharp or flat. When you're finished tuning, press either footswitch to exit tuner mode. 7 Using the HarmonyManTM Select a Voicing 1. Turn the Voice 1 and Voice 2 knobs counter-clockwise until both Voicing Displays read OF. Now turn the Voice 1 knob clockwise to select a voicing. For this example, select 3H (a third up) for Voice 1, and leave Voice 2 OF. See pages 12-14 for descriptions of available voicings. Setting the Key and Scale Automatically or Manually Using its built-in musIQTM technology, the HarmonyManTM can determine what key you're in just by listening to the chords you're playing. This is very useful when you don't want to set the key for every song. Just leave the musIQ button enabled and the HarmonyMan will choose the best key automatically. Alternatively, you can manually set the key and scale you want to use by holding down the Memory Select footswitch and strumming a chord. Both methods for setting the key are described on page 9. When the musIQ button is enabled, the color of the LED in the Harmony Key Display indicates how obvious the current key is, based on the chord progression you're playing. Note: A chord progression provides better results than a single chord when the musIQ feature is determining the key and scale automatically. A green LED in the Harmony Key Display indicates the key and scale are recognized and are set. A yellow LED means some ambiguity exists regarding the key and scale, but harmonization continues using that key and scale. A single red LED cycling around the Harmony Key Display indicates that the HarmonyMan's key recognition memory needs chord information to determine the key and scale. Note that when this occurs and the harmony is turned on, the most recent automatic harmony key and scale are displayed and used for harmony. If the musIQ button is disabled, the most recent manually set key and scale are used. 8 Using the HarmonyManTM Automatically Set the Key and Scale 1. [. . . ] Key is shown on the Harmony Key Display in green. Current Sidechain Input chord is shown on the Harmony Key Display in yellow. Analysis of Sidechain Input Signal continues.
