Using The Sampler
The Harmony 61 Pro allows you to record your own sounds using the built-in microphone located above the LCD and then play them
using the keyboard. Each sample can contain up to 2 seconds of audio. User Samples will be stored at the end of the sound library.
Recording a user sample:
1. Press the Mix and Record buttons simultaneously to enter Sampler mode. The Sampler will then enter a standby mode, the LCD will
read “Standby,” and the center LED light will flash.
2. Now, use the data dial to select a slot in which to save the sample.
3. Once you have selected a slot, sample recording will be triggered by the sound itself. When the sound volume reaches the trigger
level, sampling will start automatically, and the LCD will read “Sampling”. When the sound volume drops beneath the trigger level or
when the recording time reaches 2 seconds, the Sampler will stop automatically and save the sound; the LCD will read “Finished”.
4. The pitch correction function is turned on by default. The sampled pitch will be automatically recognized and corrected to the nearest
key. When pitch correction is turned off, the sampled pitch will be corrected and set as C4. You can turn this function on or off in the
Function Menu. See Using the Function Menu to learn more.
Note: The next available empty slot will be selected automatically before the next sample recording begins. For example, if the first slot
has data, the second slot will be automatically selected. If all slots are used up, then the first slot will be selected. Please note that when
sampling again on the slot with data, the original data will be overwritten.
Playing a user sample:
1. After sampling is complete, the unit will return to Sound mode automatically. LCD will display the sample you’ve just recorded as a
sound named with the slot number, such as “User01”.
2. Play the keyboard to use this sample for performance.
3. Use the numeric buttons, the [<] / [>] buttons or the data dial to select other saved samples.
4. Use the Touch Pad to play your sample with effects.
Deleting a user sample:
Hold down the [<] and [>] buttons, then turn the power off. All user data will be deleted.
Using the Mixer
1. Press the Mixer button to enter the mixer menu. The instrument will automatically show the mixer parameters that are available for
the current mode. For example, when in Song mode, if you enter the mixer menu, it will show “MusicVol” on top of the menu.
2. Use the data dial to select the parameters in the mixer menu.
3. Use the [<] / [>] buttons to change the volume setting of the selected parameter.
4. Pressing [<] and [>] buttons at the same time will reset to the default volume setting. If the current volume setting is the same as the
default setting, pressing the [<] and [>] buttons will mute/unmute the selected parameter.

Troubleshooting
The speakers produce a pop sound whenever the power is turned on or off.This is normal and is no cause for alarm.
Speakers do not produce sound when the keyboard is played:
1. Check if the master volume is set too low.
2. Check if the R1/R2/L sound volume is set too low in the mixer menu.
3. Check if headphones are plugged into the PHONES output.
The speakers produce noise when a mobile phone is put near them. Using a mobile phone in close proximity to the instrument may
cause interference. To prevent this, turn off the mobile phone or use it farther away from the instrument.
The auto accompaniment does not play back even when Sync is in standby and a key is pressed. You may be playing keys in the
right-hand range of the keyboard. To start the accompaniment with Sync Start, make sure to play keys in the left-hand range.
Certain notes seem to be in the wrong pitch. Make sure that the tune value is set to 0. Press and hold the [<] and [>] buttons and turn
on the power to restore factory settings.
When connecting to computer, the instrument cannot be recognized. Check if the USB cable is firmly connected. Try connecting
another USB port on the computer. This instrument is plug and play and should work without installing a driver.
The pedal does not respond. Check if the pedal cable is firmly connected.
It cannot read/save to the SD card. Make sure your SD card is in FAT32 format and not multi-partitioned.
It shuts down after a period of time. The auto power off function will turn off the instrument after a preset period of time when the
instrument is not in use. You can adjust the auto-off function in the function menu.
The Harmony function does not work. Harmony function is not available when Sound R1 is a drum kit.
Factory Reset
To perform a factory reset:
Hold down the [<] and [>] buttons at the same time, then turn on the power. It will reset to factory default settings, and delete all user data
on the instrument, including user songs, user memory and user sounds. The LCD will show “Loading!”. When factory reset is completed,
the instrument will start normally.
