Thought I'd post the responses I receieved from TC Helicon Customer Support department. At first I'm handled by a lower level CS person but then he refers my question to product manager: (Scroll to the bottom for the start of the messages...)

Dear Bill,

This is the answer I received:

Re: recognizing chord extensions, Harmony-M and Harmony-G recognize many of them, and some we will make an interval change in response to them. But we made a deliberate decision to have Harmony-G sing more like a human harmony singer does, which is to stay on the main notes of a chord.

In manual mode you can harmonize the way you want - But of course it is difficult to play the harmonies parts while playing- In this case the use of a sequencer is very interesting.


best regards

Dear Bill,

I have sent the question to our product manager to know exactly how the output harmony notes are chosen in chord mode when feeding a 4 notes chord.
I will come backk to you as soon as I get an answer.

Hi-

Just purchased a Harmony M and I'm having trouble with the harmony output when using textured chords. If I play 7ths, 2nds, 9ths, 6ths, flat 9's, etc. it goes kind of sideways unless I have it in manual mode, which doesn't sound as good as the normal operating mode.

My keyboard is a Tyros 2 and I use the "full keyboard" setting...

Please advise how I can improve the harmonies...

Thanks-

Bill Corfield
