[. . . ] (Refer to the Percussion Assign List page 11. ) About the Harmony Voices Since Harmony Voices are designed to automatically play two or more notes with the notes you play on the keyboard, only one note can be played on the keyboard at a time. If several notes are played together, only the last note or highest note played will be heard. The type of harmony used depends on the Voice that is selected. When a Style or Song/Jam Track is not being played back, the basic key for the harmony is always C. When a Style is played or the Stopped Accompaniment function is active, the harmony changes according to the chord played with the left hand. When a Song is played back, the harmony changes according to the chord progression of the Song or Jam Track. Selecting a Voice 1. Press the VOICE button to select the Voice mode. NOTE The PortaTone is polyphonic up to a maximum of 12 notes. (Depending on the Voice selected, fewer notes may be available. ) This includes not only the Voices played from the keyboard, but also the notes in a Style pattern, and so on, Thus, if you play too many notes at one time, some may not sound and/or others may be cancelled. 2. Use the Numeric Keypad to select the desired Voice number. Each Voice is automatically called up with the most suitable octave range setting. Thus, playing middle C with one Voice may sound higher or lower than another Voice at the same key. 3. Play the newly selected Voice. To change to another Voice, repeat step 2 above. You can also play rhythm Styles in the Voice mode by simply pressing the START/STOP button. The Style last selected from the Style mode will be played. 5 Fingered Chords Using the key of C as an example, the chart below shows the types of chords that can be recognized in the Fingered mode. Fingered Chords in the Key of C Notes enclosed in parentheses are optional; the chords will be recognized without them. NOTE If the chord is inverted (ie. , C-E-G is played as G-C-E), the PortaTone will still recognize it as a C chord. Minor 6th chords are recognized only in root position, however; all other inversions are interpreted as minor 7th/flatted 5th. l If augmented and diminished 7th chords are inverted, the lowest note will be recognized as the root. Three or more Pads can be played successively; however, the limit on total simultaneous notes may result in cancellation of some sounds or notes played in the Voice, Style or Song mode. (Refer to the note regarding polyphony on page 5. ) When the power is turned on, bank 1 of the Sound Effect sounds is automatically selected. Sound Effect and Drum List Sound Effect 1.

The sound of the voices or rhythms seems unusual or strange. Not all notes are heard when playing a number of notes simultaneously. The sound of the Voice changes from note to note. Possible Cause and Solution This is normal and indicates that power is flowing into the PortaTone. Replace the batteries. Too many keys are pressed at the same time.
