Abstract
A harmony generating circuit generates high harmony signals in response to coincident lower manual accompaniment signals and upper manual melody signals. Gating circuitry responsive to coincident inputs from accompaniment chords played on the lower manual and melody notes played on the upper manual generate harmony notes on the upper manual which correspond to the accompaniment notes played on the lower manual but are above the melody notes and approximately within one octave of the melody notes.
