* When “HARMONY REMOTE” is “On,” the GR-33’s
internal sound generator does not produce sounds in response
to received MIDI Note messages—Note messages are
interpreted as instructions for changing keys, not for playing
sounds. For this reason, “HARMONY REMOTE” should be
left “Off” when not needed.

On some patches, the selected “HARMONY STYLE” setting
may be “Diminish”: the harmony is fixed at a diminished
third above the melody, regardless of the “HARMONY KEY”
setting. In such cases, the operation described above does not
toggle “HARMONY KEY” between major and minor key—
instead it toggles “HARMONY STYLE” between “Diminish”
and “+3rd.” When you switch to “+3rd,” the key will be the
key specified by “HARMONY KEY.” As a result, you can
toggle between diminished and a major (or minor) key.
