exit the Harmony Maker, and start a song with a melody playing (like Old Folks

at Home.mgu). Now go back into the Harmony Maker.

Voices

You'll see the voices down the left side of the dialog box.

Mel is the melody.

Voice 2 is a chord tone below the melody.

Voice 3 is 2 chord tones below the melody.

Voice 4 is 3 chord tones below the melody.

Voice 5 (rarely used) is an additional chord tone, usually

the 9

or 11

in the scale.

Mel2 and Mel3 are used to double the melody.

For the Shearing Quintet harmony:

The Piano is 4-part harmony, so it will use voice 1, 2, 3, and 4 on Channel A.

The Vibes will double the melody, so will use the Mel2 voice.

The Guitar will double the melody, so will use the Mel3 voice.

Settings for Each Voice

Channel is described above. A 1-instrument harmony will use Channel A only.

Additional instruments can use Channel B and C.

Note: These channels are set to numbers in the Harmony Channels dialog box, available

in the M | MIDI Settings… dialog box.

For the Shearing Quintet harmony, we will set the Piano to Channel A, the

Vibes to B, and the Guitar to C.

Octave

This allows the harmony to “drop down” or “go up” by a number of octaves.

This octave change will only happen in a certain range, as chosen in the Low

and High settings.
