harmony

In music, harmony is the use of simultaneous pitches (tones, notes), or chords. The study of harmony involves chords and their construction and chord progressions and the principles of connection that govern them. Harmony is often said to refer to the "vertical" aspect of music, as distinguished from melodic line, or the "horizontal" aspect. Counterpoint, which refers to the interweaving of melodic lines, and polyphony, which refers to the relationship of separate independent voices, are thus sometimes distinguished from harmony.
In popular and jazz harmony, chords are named by their root plus various terms and characters indicating their qualities. In many types of music, notably baroque, romantic, modern, and jazz, chords are often augmented with "tensions". A tension is an additional chord member that creates a relatively dissonant interval in relation to the bass. Typically, in the classical common practice period a dissonant chord (chord with tension) "resolves" to a consonant chord. Harmonization usually sounds pleasant to the ear when there is a balance between the consonant and dissonant sounds. In simple words, that occurs when there is a balance between "tense" and "relaxed" moments.

    Question Harmony Hub vs 650 for basic control?

    Simple question, I hope, for anyone who has a Harmony Hub. I have a Harmony 650, successfully programmed to control my AV set-up. The 'on' sequence takes around 10-15 seconds, during which time the IR beam might get interrupted or I might inadvertently point the remote in the wrong direction...

    Updating hue scenes on harmony elite

    Anyone know how to get the harmony elite to register an updated hue scene? I've tried refreshing the hue device, re-pair, renaming the scene - so far the only thing that works is recreating the scene from scratch. There must be a better way, anyone know how?

    MyHarmony & HDAnywhere mHub 4k 4x3+1

    Recently purchased the mHub (from a member here) and have set up commands for various sources and displays. However, the mHub commands don't transmit from the Harmony remotes (Elite and older 700) to the mHub itself. The device in the Logitech database is "HdAnywhere MHUB4K431" so it appears t...

    XE93 + Harmony tip = use IR to control the TV

    Just posted this on Reddit, hope it's useful: I've recently changed my Harmony setup to control the TV over IR instead of Wifi. You will probably notice the Sony remote control response over IR is much quicker than the Harmony remote if it's been setup using wifi/network controls. If you change...

    Harmony Hub Issue

    I’ve got a Harmony Elite with the hub. Up until yesterday it’s worked brilliantly. Now it seems to be suffering massive delays, it’s taken about three times longer than normal to do anything. For instance, watching Sky, you press a button and it takes a good few seconds before it does what...

    Sky Q box slow response to Harmony remote

    Pretty much as the title. Since the Sky Q upgrade this week, the response to my Harmony remote has become extremely slow - it takes about 3 seconds to respond to a button press. Has anyone noticed / cured this? (The remote is the hub-based ultimate type). I've tried messing with the send...

    Harmony - context sensitive menu

    I've just added a Roku Stick+ to my setup and have come across a slight quirk that I can't figure out with the Harmony Elite. The TV (Sony XE93) has an Action Menu button which pulls up a context sensitive menu - I mainly use it when in a streaming app and it gives me the option to adjust...
