Using the Har
mony Knob
The Harmony knob selects a single harmony voice or combination of voices higher or lower in pitch than your voice. The chart below shows name and pitch intervals for each position on the Harmony knob.
Icon Name Interval
High 3rd above
Higher 5th above
High and Higher
Low 4th below
3rd above 5th above
Momentary Mode
The standard func tion of the footswitch is a latching style, meaning that each press of the footswitch turns the harmony on and o. Alternatively, the pedal can operate in momentary mode, meaning that the harmony is only ac tive while the footswitch is held down. As soon as you release the footswitch, the harmony is bypassed.
To switch the unit to momentary mode, hold the Tone button down while powering the unit on. Repeat the process to return to latching mode.
Changing the Batteries
Harmony Singer 2 can operate on 4 AA batteries. Remove the single screw on the bottom of the pedal to open the battery door. Make sure to observe correct polarity when inserting the batteries.
Auto Gain
Harmony Singer 2 will automatically adjust the gain setting for your microphone, eliminating the need for manual adjustments and ensuring that a good signal is passed to the mixer without any unwanted distortion.
24 V Phantom Power
Phantom power is always active on the Harmony Singer 2. This will power condenser microphones, but will not aect dynamic mics either.
Mic Control
Mic Control allows you to control the eect's on/o status via an MP-75 microphone. Press and hold the footswitch while powering up the unit to toggle Mic Control.

Guitar Input
Connect any guitar pedals between Harmony Singer’s Guitar Output jack and the input of your amp. Connecting and activating some guitar pedals before the Guitar Input jack may adversely aect vocal harmony production.
Tips:
• Strumming chords works better than single note playing for
harmony control
• When changing chords, ensure that the root and 3rd of each
new chord are played clearly
• To harmonize correctly from the rst chord of a song,
briey play the rst chord before singing
Note that when using a condenser microphone, Mic Control should be disabled to prevent unwanted on/o switching.
