Does it recognize the key? Or do you have to tell it what the scale formula is? (whole/whole/half, etc..)

Yeah , I believe it recognizes the scale ... For example , if I'm playing something that's in E phrygian , I'll be setting the key to C maj which has the same notes, Same with A minor, D dorian ,etc. ... And if I'm playing E minor I'll be setting it to G maj key... Got it?
So it will always play the third from the scale not just a given interval in half steps .

But this is how to use an Intelegent Harmonizer with the harmony mode ... You can choose another (normal) mode that just add a given interval like whole, 2 whole , 3.5 whole , etc steps .... This only sounds good (IMHO) if you set it to add the 5th , so it will be something like a power chord but with higher pitch since usualy you'll use the harmonizer for lead stuff.
