▪ Choosing the Key and Scale
When the Scale Harmony Type is selected, all of the chords in an entire song and
your melody can belong to a single key. You can input this key by using the Key
parameter.
Use the
Scale parameter to choose a type of scale for the harmony notes. You
can choose between 3 Major and 3 Minor alternate scales that can be chosen if
your harmony intervals sound incorrect at certain chord/melody combinations.
When the match of Key and song is correct, a Scale harmonization is nearly indis-
tinguishable from recorded harmony. There are limitations however:
> Scale works for many, but not all songs.
> Scale works best with 3rd harmony intervals (Voice > Harmony Scale pop-up
menu); adding the 5th reduces the number of compatible songs.
You should be singing with musical backing and stay true to a A=440Hz reference.
This could be a recorded song or other musicians. Choose a simple song to start
with. Determine the key of your song; this is often the rst or last chord in a song
without extensions. For example G Major is a valid key, Gm7b5 is not.
If you’re lucky the rst time, you’ll be rewarded with soaring harmony over your
whole chorus or song. If not, you can try the following:
> Try a different Key, perhaps a 5th away from your rst choice.
> Choose a different Major or Minor alternate Scale.
> Choose a Set with only the 3rd (High) interval.
