Simple Harmonies

[Jalevinemd]

Is their a tutorial that talks about how to set up simple harmonies...like thirds, fifths and octaves. I did it once a long time ago but can't remember how the hell I managed. Not sure if it's the new firmware or if I'm just getting dumber with age.

Regards,

Jonathan

Pitch Block
Fixed Harmony Type
Set the harmony in Semitones

that should be it. watch the Level of each voice - turn down Voice 2 Level if you only want 1 Voice/harmony.

Which of all the possible voice options is for setting the semitones? And what does "ct" mean?

 

[chris]

i think SHIFT is the dial for the semitones. "ct" is fine tuning by Cents.

please download the Axe-Fx II manual for descriptions of all the blocks and parameters: http://www.fractalaudio.com/downloads/manuals/axe-fx-2/Axe-Fx-II-Owners-Manual.pdf

The Master Pitch is in %. There's a Voice Shift.

yes it's Shift. i edited my comment above.

This is going to sound really stupid but if I adjust shift to 3 will that give me a harmony one third above the fretted note? If so, what would give me a full octave above? 12?

I know nothing about music theory.

3 steps represent a minor third, 12 an octave
