There is confusion here because the word chords is used to mean different things.
The PSR/Tyros style or harmony functions will respond to chords in two formats:
1) Yamaha Chord Events (XF data format) that are created by Quick Record, PSRUTI, etc
2) Midi data. If you identify a channel in Function/Midi/Edit/ Chord then the PSR style functionwill treat any data as though it is being keyed by the left hand. If the data in the channel has chord notes (piano tracks are usually a good choice) then the PSR will identify the chord just as it does when you play the chord with the left hand.
Likewise, in Mic Settings, you can do the same thing for VH and styles.

Thanks for the info. My PowerTracks Pro V.11 will do an analysis and determine the chords in a midi file but I don't know how to embed the results as chord data. PT Pro may do it but if so I don't know how. The PSR3000 manual states very clearly that the vocal harmonizer will recognize and provide harmony based on "chord data" in midi files but does not tell how to get that chord data into the midi file. In some post several months (or years?) ago I seem to recall someone saying that the chord data had to be saved in a track or channel by itself. I'll try the PSRUTI.
