Chapter 11: User Programmable Functions 173
Overall Harmony Octave
This is very useful setting. It sets the overall octave of the harmony. For
example, when we made the 5-part Trumpets harmony, we wanted the harmony
to always be played an octave higher than the recorded melody. This is because
the 5-part harmony is spread over 2 octaves and needs a high
Volume Adjust of Entire Harmony
You can set an overall adjust to the entire harmony, so it will be quieter.
No harmony if duration less than
If harmonies such as “Garner Piano” harmonize every note, they produce
unrealistic harmonies, since a piano player (like Garner) wouldn't harmonize
notes of a short duration. You can specify a harmony to only occur for notes
longer than a certain duration. In the example of Garner, we set the threshold to
200ms, notes shorter than that will not be harmonized.
OK to make new harmony with chord
This option is for how the program fixes the harmony when chord changes occur
during a sustained note harmony. Most harmonies have a feature that changes
the pitch of the harmony voices under the Melody note when the chord changes,
if the underlying voice wouldn't be a chord tone. This sounds unrealistic for
certain types of harmonies like “Garner” or “Guitar harmonies,” since it would
be unrealistic for those instruments to change the inner voicings in this manner.
If you de-select the option to “Make new harmony with new chord,” the voices
that would conflict with the new chord merely stop playing instead of changing
to new notes.
Use Guitar Harmony Voicings
This harmony type uses real guitar chord voicings that display correctly on the
guitar fretboard. Setting the “Use Guitar Harmony Voicings” checkbox means
that guitar chord voicings will be used, instead of any other voicings specified in
the Harmony Maker. Check out Harmony #32 (J Pass) for an example of this.
The Soloist Maker
This module allows you to define your own soloists. For example, let's say you
want to create a soloist in a style similar to John Coltrane, the great Jazz
saxophonist. The Soloist Maker allows you to define the parameters essential to
a soloist's playing, such as instrument range (i.e. tenor saxophone), extra legato
playing, playing more on top of the beat than most jazz musicians, and playing
straighter 8th notes than usual swing 8th notes.
In addition, you can set phrasing options, such as how long the phrase should be,
and how much “space” to leave between phrases. You can also set how
“outside” the playing should be. In the case of a John Coltrane style, you set
that to the maximum! Then “turn it loose” and hear the soloist play over any
song!
