Pico Intelligent Harmony Machine
Harmonizer
Packing the powerful diatonic functionality of the Electro-Harmonix Intelligent Harmony Machine into an ultra-compact pedal: it’s the Pico IHM. Create 2 or 3-part harmony in any key with silky smooth operation and lightning fast-tracking to keep up with any speedy lick. With 10 Interval options, a MIX knob for precision voice blending and space-saving footprint, the Pico IHM is the perfect pocket sideman.
Housed in Electro-Harmonix’s pico-sized chassis, the Pico IHM comes complete with a simple control set. The KEY knob, in conjunction with the # button sets the key of the harmonies produced. INTERVAL selects from one of 10 harmonic interval options (see below). The MIX and VOL knobs adjust the wet/dry mix and output volume respectively. Holding down the # button enters Dual Mode which adds a second voice to the harmony produced for stunning 3-part harmonies when mixed with the dry signal.
The Pico IHM is our most compact Harmony Machine ever. Adding perfect, tight harmonies to your playing has never been easier!
Controls:
1. VOL: Adjusts the output volume.
2. MIX: Adjusts the output mix from 100% dry to 100% wet.
3. KEY: Sets the key that the IHM is tuned to, in conjunction with the # button. The key is incremented as you move this knob from minimum to maximum. The LED flashes briefly each time a new key is selected. See the following section, Setting The Key, for more information on keys and scales.
4. INTERVAL: Controls the harmony interval relative to the input signal. The intervals are incremented as you move this knob from minimum to maximum. The LED flashes briefly each time a new interval is selected. Starting at minimum, the intervals are:
The exact interval generated by the IHM will depend on the key setting and the note you play. For example, when set to a third up and the key of C major, playing a C will generate an E, a major third up from the note you played, while playing a D will generate an F, a minor third up from the note you played.
5. # Button: Press this button to switch between a
natural and sharp key:
Dual Mode In Dual Mode the Pico IHM synthesizes
two different intervals simultaneously. The intervals
are incremented as you move the INTERVAL knob
from minimum to maximum as follows:
Press and hold the # button for one second to enable Dual Mode. The LED blinks in an asymmetrical pattern to indicate Dual Mode is active. Press and hold the # button again to exit Dual Mode.
Setting The Key:
The Pico IHM generates diatonic harmonies in a set key based on single notes played on your instrument. Playing multiple notes or chords will not work well. NOTE: It is very important that your instrument be in tune (based on A440) for the Pico IHM to work properly!
The key is set by the bottom-left KEY knob in conjunction with # button. Select one of the
seven natural keys with the KEY knob. The # button can be used to switch the Pico IHM into a sharp key. When the LED is green the key is natural. Press the # button and the LED will turn red, indicating a sharp key.
Minor Keys:
The keys set by the KEY knob are major. Music theory instructs us that each major key contains the same notes as a relative minor key with the sixth note of the major scale indicating the relative minor key. For example, the relative minor of C major is A minor. The following table shows the relative minor key for each major key. Use it as a guide when you want to set a minor key. For example, for E minor, set the KEY knob to G with the # button set to green.
