Tom Lang takes you through some of VoiceLive 3's vocal effects, including the new Harmony Modes, Mixed Mode and Vocoder/Synth, as well as some edit menus.
I have to get one of these. Great video. Now we just need a box that can translate my language to another language, and make it rhyme. Some holographic backup singers would be cool too.
I've just bought one. Great for live harmonies. Live performances have always been a drama when it comes to harmonies. Musicians come and go and along with them, backing vocals. I'm not the lead singer but now I can do all harmonies in any voicing I want just by singing lead along with the main singer (I don't send my lead vocal to PA). The result is absolutely fantastic. This is only possible due to the tremendous flexibility of Voice Live 3, including how you build harmonies up, the easy of storage and access and the various output choices.
@@robertlyle3806 I can’t remember the exact details as I haven’t used it in a while. But under each preset settings you have the option to adjust LEAD level. You can have it as low as zero.
Hi Sam, sorry I can't reply to your linked comment. You've probably got replies turned off. We feel that the biggest factor in "real" (beyond the ears of the beholder) is the level of the effect. We tend to push the levels in demos, since folks complain when they're hard to hear on RU-vid etc. In practice, setting the levels more realistically can really help with the "natural" feel. Digitech makes different note output decisions than we do. I'd classify them as more dynamic, which can be read as "unpredictable" too. So, sometimes the DT unit will make a harmony we think is better than our choice, but then the next time it won't choose the same note, which can be frustrating. We go for a more set-in-stone output, so you can count on it, but if you don't like one of the notes it can be problematic. In VL3 you can create custom scales to get exactly the output you want. There's also a lot of depth to humanization and eq etc. to mess with as well.
This is looking better and better. I'm sold, vocally speaking. Awaiting the Guitar Closer Look for VL3, and hoping this will be as good of a live sound investment as I have been thinking so far!
Hello Tom, here is Lars from Germany! I like what you are doing! Very symphatic and well done! I You ever come to Germany, I like to spend a coffee or a beer, whatever you like! You are a great talent. Nice haircut! Like mine ;-)
Hi Baz, the manual is a bit out of date, since we changed the way the MIDI menu is shown so it's simpler now. Essentially, you've got an input and output section for MIDI. The CC channel and MIDI channel are one in the same. If you're receiving MIDI and see the light on the VL3 screen, you know the channel is correct. Then, you're down to the filters. If you have any filters set, you might be filtering the PC's or CC's. Keep in mind that the filter parameter shows you what you're filtering OUT not what you're letting in.
TC-Helicon Hi again, I have the filters set to "None" in the MIDI menu. There are no filter setting in the Input or Output menus. I have Firmware Version 1.2.02 Build 187. This is so frustrating. It just don't work how it should do. I rely heavily on what the manual is telling me. Maybe my unit is not working properly or something else is amiss 8-( It is receiving the MIDI message but not changing anything. I have raised a ticket with support but until now received no reply. Could it be something specific to certain preset settings?
TC-Helicon Just as an FYI, the manual mentions a CC channel, but that's been removed and changed to a separate incoming and outgoing MIDI channel. You can't run separate PC and CC channels.
TC-Helicon I raised a ticket with James of Support and now I'm trying to use my Roland FC-300 to offload the guitar layer for control and use the two on-board expression pedals but it appears that I will only be able to do this via sysex which I'm looking into right now. Any advice is warmly welcome.
How about processing power on this new unit?Reason I'm asking is, this summer I used Voicelive Play GTX (white one) every night..First of all I noticed processing delay when I was using internal guitar processing (not going out thru) When it comes some acoustic soloing, you could literally feel that it wasn't coming out as you play, and it would threw me off on many occasions.. so I stopped using internal guitar processing and passing out from thru to my other processor.. I also noticed that when use "AutoTune Radio" when I move to next preset in the same song quickly, machine was not able to immediately quit the radio effect, sometimes looping was happening some weird stuff was happening. I was blaming on the not adequate processing power on the machine and maybe very heavy presets etc etc.. So I'm not sure if you acknowledge what I'm talking about and if you could put some input or comparison on the matter. We appreciate TC and great work being done. Thank you. Turk
Hey folks, is it possible to just have 5 self made presets and quickly to go through them on the gig. That is what I need, not like 200 of them.. Is that possible ? Without too much interaction with a pedal ? :)
Í have no time to study my voice live 3. All í want is to transmit the harmonies í do on keyboard thru midi. Manual is not helpful Í would be glad for Any advice Alfonso
where or how do I get that fixed and pedal harmony that he is singing in playing in a rock and roll band at the same time. Just got the product yesterday. This thing is so cool. I would like to find a harmony for the songs of the Eagles and the Doobie brothers. Any suggestions and far as setting that up?
I'd start with just setting up a couple of presets with different harmony voicings like "High", "Low", "High and Low" etc. and save them next to each other. Start experimenting with which voicings work best with the songs as-is and then start mucking about with adding a pedal voice etc. as you learn where the stock voices fit into things.
It would be awesome if the harmony scroll order would modulate around the circle of 5ths/4ths instead of chromatically so that you can move through keys in an order that would make musical sense (aka adding sharps or flats). This would be FAR a more useful tool for working musicians than the current system. Also the inclusion of more exotic scale options and church modes would be great. Props to TC for choosing harmonies of the non-diatonic pitches that work great in the harmonizer, btw!
Hi TC-Helicon. i have a voice live 3 pedal and the voice fx 150 but can not understand how to set them up properly to get a clear sound when using a guitar and mic. there are no videos to show how to set them up. can you make a video showing how to set them up to each other ? by the way great piece of gear
+Ben Ranger The simplest connection to FX150 is to use the headphone output on VL3 to the Aux input on FX150. That leaves the other two channels free on the FX150 for other inputs, like another mic.
There is a Roomsense option that's suppose to pick up the key of the song from a built in mic in VL, but I'm not sure how well it works. I run a bass signal in my my unit then manually change the key by hitting the root note of the key and holding the harmony button down for a couple seconds before the song starts. For minor key songs I use the relative major key for that minor. It's not the best but it seems to work and it's easier than hitting the harmony button and manually changing the key with the preset buttons. I may look closer at the roomsense and see how well that works. Good luck..
Hello, great video!! Just bought one yesterday. I’ve been looking for a TC Helicon MP-76 to buy but they are discontinued and I cannot find a used one anywhere. Do you have a source that could get me one? Thank you, Gregg
Hi TC-Helicon.. This is a really cool pedal and I have watched a few introduction videos for it.. how ever I am playing a western guitar, a Yamaha cpx1000, and I would like to know if Voicelive 3 can emulate amplifiers spicificly made for that kind of guitar? Morten from Denmark
Sp3ctrum 30 Heya Morten, we don't simulate acoustic amps, but we do have BodyRez presets and amp styles that do a great job at getting rid of undersaddle pickup "quack" in acoustic guitars. The amp styles in VL3 are created with only the parameters you see in the box, so anything we've built could be done by a user. If you're into it, you could certainly spend time trying to get an approximation of your favorite amp.
Hello. Are the talkbox/vocoder effects comparable to the ones found on the "Talkbox Synth" and "VoiceTone Synth"? I really (really) like the sound of the Talkbox Synth. Also, can the VL3 do the equivalent of the Talkbox Synth's "Classic+" and "Modern+" settings by having the carrier signal and the vocoded robot voice play at the same time? If so, it is time for an upgrade.
Hi B; You mention at minute 7:30 or so, where you can plug a synthesizer into the Aux jack. I was wondering if that is from the headphone jack output or from the actual main output of the synth? In other words, the manual shows plugging an MP3 player into the Aux jack. That is typically a headphone level signal. I have both available. Please advise. Thanks.
Jeffrey Cranston The Aux in jack is set up to take devices like phones, HP outs and other line type level signals. That said, the mains from a keyboard work just fine. They tend to be closer to line level than mic.
Damilola Bekes Yep sure can. We have sax and trombone players using the harmonies to generate a pseudo horn section. The only caveat is that when you get up into inhuman frequencies with say, a soprano sax, you can get some funky results. You're best to stay in reasonable human vocal range. Mariah excluded ;)
Ok,I think I will like to buy it then. how possible is it for Sax and voice to go on it at the same time, what I mean is that can Sax and Vocal be on TC-Helicon at the same time?kindly let me know
@@tchelicon I play sax and would like to use the Tc voice helacon to make a back track of other saxophone that are recorded on the internet and be able to play them back by them selves so I can play with them when I'm performing with my band so we don't haye to add 3. More horns can this be done with the t c helacon voice 3 or any other system you have
@@petesandoval4469 That can be done with VoiceLive 3 Extreme! Many of our products have an aux input that works well for backing tracks, but VL3X is designed to have your backing tracks integrated With your Voicelive and accessible through the same interface as the other effects. It sounds like that would best serve the needs you outlined 😊
When doing the vocal to match the chords played...how is it hooked up in the back of the unit? Struggling to figure that out. Where are the cords going. Mic, guitar, in and out etc...thanks in advance.
i just bought an extreme. i have a problem. or im confused. i do not have any dry output from xlr 'voice - L mono' output when 'mono output' mode in setup menu is selected. What I mean is NO sound/signal can be heard when no effect is on. And activating an effect e.g delay or reverb or (it would seem) doubling etc, results in hearing only those wet output signals. This also occurs if the output mode is set to ‘stereo’, in this instance both left and right voice outputs only output fx wet signal.
So I've connected the device and facing challenge with separating vocal and Guitar tracks. For example, I want 229 AC Crunch for Guitar and 130 "Arena" for vocals. However once I select 229 and go on to select 130, its changing the guitar effects. Please advise.
Hi Tom. Please let me now how to run guitar effects at same time as vocal effects. Also how in the world do I get my wha pedal to activate through VL3. Thank you!
I got this unit recently, when i tried factory presets i didn't like it very much. But when we sat down with my audio engineer and built presets from scratch in a detailed way for every song, we were really satisfied with the product. The things we found missing was, firstly tc helicon should develop a software to edit the effects in the unit, since it's hard to do it by hand from the unit. There is a third party application and we use it for it, but why third party? Even their analog pedals can be configured from pc while their fx processors cant, it's interesting. Second, we use transducer a lot, but that effect is mostly used with mix of dry vocals, it would've been nice if there was a dry/wet or mix percentage option in that effect section. Third one is routing, there are some little options for it like delay mix for lead vocal or harmonies, but can't give delay to doubling etc. And lastly it would be nice if it had make-up gain in the compressor. Still i'm very satisfied with the product, but these updates will make this unit excellent. I hope we can see these futures in a firmware update maybe?
TC H, how would you generalize the overall product advantage over the VL2? I hear many people they are saying their VL2 would be nearly as capable with downloadable firmware? Is the expanded looper functionality a force multiplier? Could you do a video explaining how your other award-winning voice and guitar pedals are integrated into the VL3?
Can you use the guitar to tell the machine which harmonies to hit without actually hearing the guitar? I do a lot of live looping and this pedal would for sure save time between loops, but I'm not always playing the guitar while I sing harmonies. Maybe I could run the output of my boss rc300 into the aux of the VL3? I'd like to know if I can do this before I purchase the pedal.
Elijah Aaron Yep, sure. There's a few ways to approach it. You can save presets with a set key/scale if you don't want to use an instrument input, or you could use the in/thru and mute all internal guitar sounds, just capturing chord data. Or, if there's sufficient chord info in the rc300 you can run it into the VL3 aux and drive harmony from there.
TC-Helicon Wow - THANK YOU. Can't wait. Could have used the VL3 on my most recent vid! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-pzCFyfVV0UI.html - Can't wait to use this pedal on future vids!
Hi TC-Helicon, Is there a rack version of VoiceLive 3? If not, then please make it in rack mount, as I am studio guy. This is a request from your customer. I love all your products. especially harmony effects processors.
Hey I have a question that i really am struggling with, is it possible on the VL3X to use more than one doubler on a given preset. I wanna remap Umod to a second doubler or second reverb with totally different settings in addition to ones already in the preset. Can i do it or do i have the limitation in DSP of only ONE doubler/delay/reverb/harmony effect per preset? Thanks :)
I've been scoping these out. Can you compare and contrast these for me? ***TC Helicon VoiceTone Harmony G-XT*** and the ***Roland AIRA VT-3 Voice Transformer***. It seems that the VoiceLive3 does all that the VoiceTone H. G-xt does right? Also seems to add all the functionality that the Roland A. VT-3 V Transformer does too. Any comments on that? Or does the VoiceLive3 go way beyond? And I don't think you mentioned what the Looper effect does for voice.
Hi VZ, yes the VL3 does what Harmony G-XT does and a ton more. The VT3 does it's voice transformation slightly differently than us, but VL3 can give you almost all of the VT-3 sounds, with more flexibility in combinations.
TC-Helicon Thank you! That confirms what I was thinking. It looks like the VL3 is a "tuning tool" whereas the Harmony G-XT is a preset of popular goto's.
Hallo ! I do not find one important thing. I do not know how to set a different vocal volume in each preset, and guitars separately. This means, for example: Preset 1 - guitar at a volume level of 60%, vocal 65%. Preset 2 - guitar at a volume level of 80%, vocal 75%. This needs to be used when I want to use two or three different guitars during the concert, each having a different signal level. Just as when two or three singers want to sing, each with a different voice. I need to guarantee the same volume throughout the whole concert. I hope my question is understandable, my English is not good. Thank you for answer , Petr
If you go to the edit page for guitar or vocal and go all the way over to the right most tab called "preset" there's a trim control there. You can tweak the levels there. That said, using multiple guitars with VL3 is a bit of a weakness for the reason you mentioned. I've seen people run multiple guitars into a small mixer and then use the mixer to get all their levels even before heading off to the VL3. That is a bit of work but can help. Rest assured that we're addressing the concept of easily supporting multiple guitars in the next flagship product :)
Does it allow the singer to shape vocals via equalization....harmony is great, etc...however, if you want to manipulate the tone of your vocals - can you shape it with this...I think you could with your first one...but the plane has gone from a 1 propeller engine to jet engines...lots of features but for me I like to adjust / shape of tone for certain songs - it would be nice to shape prior to playing a song vs post production...cheers...
Luca Montana You can use our adaptive Tone (EQ, Compression, De-Essing, Gating) or control things manually. Tone isn't adjustable per song. That's more of a studio thing than live. When you start messing with compression/EQ on a song-by-song basis in a live setup, you're opening yourself up to a feedback can of worms. Since the unit is designed predominantly as a live unit, we're comfortable with global controls for EQ etc.
I noticed when you did one of the vocal sounds (Lucy Skye) it says preset 51 and it says 1V Pedal & Fixed but that preset (#51) is actually called AC Two High? So where did you find or build this preset and how?
Hi! Love this, but I already have a dedicated guitar setup, does TC Helicon have another device with this same vocal features and without the guitar modeling? Thanks!
Moisés Gómez No we don't offer an exact device with no guitar processing, but you can use VL3's IN/THRU to bypass all the guitar stuff. Run your guitar directly into the VL3's IN, then go from the THRU to your rig. It's just a buffered bypass to capture the chords and won't affect your tone, so you can just keep using your current rig. The only caveat is that you can't loop guitar sounds with that setup since all internal guitar processing is muted.

Nice, can I connect a guitar and a keyboard at the same time???
How do I turn off the guitar sound but keep it sensing chords? I want to use it with no guitar sounds from the guitar coming out. Right now I hear the guitar sound in addition to vocals from the main outputs.
+LFOVCF Yeah, that can definitely happen after a product has been available for a while. Purchase price doesn't affect warranty on a new unit, so go for the best price you can find from a dealer you trust.
I've Just got the VL3x, and i love the sound of that synth scale harmony (167) that Tom uses here, but i cant find it in the VL3x, nor can i figure out how to change the harmonies from human to synth. Any tips here guys? or a VL3x preset list?
Dave Red Hi Dave, here's a link to the entire VL3 factory preset bank. You'll need to be on the most recent firmware for compatibility and use VoiceSupport to import them. Hopefully it's in there. If not, it may have been a one-of that Tom made for the video. dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/40864719/VoiceLive%203%20Factory%20Presets%20Firmware%202.0.01.syx
Do you have a video showing the hold function, i.e., hold or sustain a harmony while singing over it? Can I also save a tailored preset for each of, lets say 100 songs? If so, can I create a name for the preset?
Mike McLenison Hi Mike, there's 500 preset slots in VL3 so you can create tons of custom presets. We usually find a preset that sounds "close" and use it as a jumping off point, just to save time. You can rename the preset (and change it's save location) during the store process.Tom shows harmony hold at about 30 secs into this video: VOICELIVE 2 - Ten Preset Showcase & vocal harmony (It's VL2 but same idea)
does this thingie have compressor included? allso i want to know about voicelive touch. i go live with fonograms.. does voicelive touch make me more into the song ? i mean decent echoes and compressing.
+leo lehepuu Yep, both have compression as a part of the Tone function. VL3 offers you some further control of the compressor in a manual mode, Touch does not. Touch and VL3 both have a wide variety of echos available.
Would the Voicelive 3 Extreme work for only vocalist singing with backing tracks and no Guitar or Keyboard connected to the processor? What i mean is that no guitar is connected just a vocal mic. will it still harmonize?
I wonder how many of the new features can be backported to the VL Rack? I appreciate there may be some limitation but I'm guessing the DSPs have enough leg room. And btw, I must say, for studio work the VL Rack is such a good product in terms of ports and productivity... I'd say it's well undervalued and right now you can pick them up quite cheap.
***** We'd likely make a completely new Rack if it were to have VL3's features. There's a completely different underlying software system that would need to be implemented in order to bring VL3 features to the table.
Im trying to decide if I should get the Voice Live 3 or Voice Live 2...Ive been hearing a lot about the effects sounding cheap, whereas the effects from VL2 are actually better. What would you suggest ?
+Telepathic Birds The algorithms for VL2 and VL3 are the same. There's some extra effects (synth) and styles/modes in VL3, but the underlying guts that generate the reverb, delay, harmony etc. are identical. It's tricky with adjectives like "cheap" as a description of sound because it's so incredibly subjective. I've heard that same comment before and also that they're "world class" or "pristine". I guess it's just what each individual is expecting and capable of tweaking within the available parameters.
HI there- how's the Voicelive 3 in the studio? I'd of course want to use it live, but can it be used in recording studio vocals? AND can already recorded vocals (dry) be run through it for post-processing? How would that work? thanks
hey guys, just got my VL3X, amazing product. I was so excited that by the time it got here I had read the whole manual and seen like 90% of the videos on youtube. Now I am exploring and I have a question. Is there a way to make the delay skip the first repetition or delay the start of the repetitions??? I'm working on the song psycho circus from kiss and there is the part where it repeats show, show, show, after the chorus (i would like to make a step with this), but it is not uniform. Maybe I'm just mistaken but how could I do that, if possible? Thanks.
Heya Daniel, you're wanting it to repeat at full volume? If that's the case, set the delay feedback to 100% and the level to 0dB. Then, scroll further down the edit screen and turn trails OFF. That will kill the echos as soon as you turn off the switch. You'd turn on the delay when you sing "Show" and then it'll repeat "Show" at full volume (forever if you never turn off the effect). The "Trails" command is per-preset so you can make one preset or step that acts that way. Does that help?
Hey, thanks for the quick response. That's an interesting trick to know, but what I need is like I want 3 repetitions but the first it mute. I sing "show" and it repeats "pause", "show", "show". If it's not there, I leave it as a suggestion for a future update to add a time delay (or a mute time) before the repetitions start to kick in. Hope I was clearer in my question. And by the way, how to work with "portamento"? Which parameters affect it? Thanks again. Cheers.
Ah yep I understand what you're saying. I don't think we have the ability to skip the first repeat. I've also asked for a way to have the delay taps only sent to harmony or other effects so you could do a call and answer type thing. All fun stuff to think about for future products. For portamento, I assume you're talking about in relation to harmony? If so, it's basically the amount of "slide" between the generated harmony notes. Adding varying amounts (but not very much) to each voice can give each harmony a bit more personality. Too much and they become drunk off their a$$ haha
Yes, you got it. But it's just software, I'm sure it could be implemented in VL3X in a future update. All cool ideas. Thanks for the explanation on portamento. Some adjustments are very subtle. I am trying to master most of them but it takes some time. Thanks again and keep up with the good work. Cheers.
Hi Tom Lang i got a voicelive 3 and i wont start and im almost certain that it the SD card inside thai is the problem i have seen a lot of videoes here in youtube from others with the same problem i tryed to clean it no good Can you tell med if and how i get a new card vith data on it or shal i just trough a nice pedat that i paid over 5000 kr for in denmark out ????? I hope you can help me
So I'm looking at the VL3X right now and I'm wondering if it's the right product for me because I'm looking to use for voice acting in real time. So i'm assuming I can create presets that I can quickly switch to if need be, but here are a few things I'm wondering about: 1. Using the Harmony feature, can I create a preset that will basically have a few other voice lines that will simply in other pitches. In other words, can I create a sort of crowd effect with it, like a stadium full of chanting people? 2. How dynamic can is the timber/pitch changing? Is it possible to make a female sound like a male or vice versa? 3. Combining my above two questions, would it be possible to create a preset that would make it sound as if I were a stadium full of chanting people who're of either sexes and definitively sound like different people?
Hi Gnol, 1. Yes, you can use a combo of Doubling, Harmony and Choir to make a crowd sound. 2. You can change the "gender" and "pitch" of the voice. The further you change it, the more artificial it'll sound, but in VO that can be appealing in the right circumstances. If you're doing audio books or something that you'd want a "real" female voice from your male voice, I'd say it's probably not convincing. 3. The chanting thing is certainly possible, but it will sounds more like a general mass of people since it's all generated from your single voice. We can't do things like have people saying different words or come up and down in the mix. You could run a few passes of things into a DAW though and blend various tracks together.
So, if you mainly play keyboards and sing - you're out of luck? I notice you said the vocal harmony effects get cued off the guitar chords you're playing. ??
Not at all! VL3 is rad for keys. You can use either audio from your keyboard into the Aux input on VL3 or you can connect MIDI. MIDI is a bit more "sound agnostic" since it just sends data, whereas the Aux method will be listening to the actual sound created at the keyboard. That can be a bit less accurate if you use lots of heavily distorted sounds where the chords aren't as clear for our algorithm to detect.
Finger style can be a bit tricker for us to get good chord information from, but in cases where you find it's not quite hitting the mark it's always possible to set key/scale manually within a preset. That will cover both cases.
amazing . I am thinking of using it in live shows. Can these effects be played in a particular order and trigerred off by a footswitch or software like Qlab or a Nanopad?
Alexander Wong All the effects can be controlled directly via the footswitches or by changing presets. There are MIDI CC's for on/off of each effect and if you're into the Sysex world, you can get access to pretty much any parameter in the box.
Would you recommend this item to someone who's more of a singer than someone who plays guitar (I can't play at all and I'm teaching myself to play Piano)? Because I really like the voice options this has.
+Iliya Moroumetz I think the choice for a VL3 vs. other units should take into account a couple of angles. 1. How tech savvy are you and how much do you like to "dig in" and tweak your sound? If you like getting your hands dirty, VL3 has the most flexibility, but it's also the most complex. 2. What's your ideal budget? VL3 is nearer the top of the heap, with VL3X being the most expensive. 3. Do you want to press buttons with your feet or hands? If you'd prefer hands, Touch2 or Perform V are cool, with T2 having a lot more depth than Perform, but also more complexity. So, I'd look at it kind of like a table: 1. Tech Savvy? Yes - VL3, T2 No - VoiceLive Play, Perform V 2. Budget? $500 USD+ - VL3, T2 Under $500 USD - Play, Perform V (T2 can sometimes be had for less than $500) 3. Buttons? Feet - VL3, VoiceLive Play Hands - Touch 2, Perform V Does that help at all?
While I can put the money aside, I'm not quite as tech savvy as I'd like to think I am. So, after giving it some thought, I think I'll go with the Perform V and then work my way up to a Touch 2 when I've gotten all that I can out of it and eventually the VL3. The only other thing is that I think may need to get a USB to 3 Pin cord so I can use it with my computer. So, yes, this did help a lot. Thank you for your assistance.
Do you set your guitar up first with the guitar button, and then switch to vocals and dial that in, and then what….how do you save both together? Thank you
Yep, transducer is our effect block that does any of the distortion and/or heavily filtered EQ sounds (megaphone, radio). The caveat with transducer is that it's feedback prone, due to the gains and EQ. Is there a specific sound you're after?
+collin mccarter I'm sorry keep piling up more questions, but here's a few more. So can I record my guitar playing while using the VL3X while I have a USB Flash Drive plugged in and then sing along to it later? Also would the VL3/VL3X work and be good for recording. I realize it's interned for live performances, but I would also like to use it for recording certain sounds with effects.
Wonder what happened to all the keyboard driven harmonizers like the old "vocoder" keyboard? Maybe you can use keyboard instead of guitar with this unit?
Voicelive 3 works great with keyboards! The guitar input takes keyboards and all the effects sound great on synths, pianos and organs. Also, you can use midi to create 4 voices of harmony and control vocoder sounds.
I bought this last week and I really love it. There are a couple of things I've been wondering about. I also have the Harmony Singer pedal and the tone button on that one is fantastic. Can I get a similar quick fix in the VoiceLive 3 or do I have to edit the EQ, compression, De-essing, manually? Also on that pedal, there's a feature, where your harmony button only lights up, when you have your foot on it. When you lift your foot, the effect. turns off. This is one I really miss. If that feature is possible on VL3, how do I acess it? Thanks in advance.
Hi Philip, Tone in VL3 when set to "Adaptive" is the same algorithm as the one in Harmony Singer. You can tweak from there either with the amount controls or by changing various components to manual operation. Tone settings are in the Setup menu.
I need to know if the VoiceLive 2 has voice synth, robot voice, talk vox in your presets vocal effects?. if I buy the voicelive2 I can add these presetsof the VoiceLive 3 ..? God bless thanks giovy perez
Hi Giovy, VoiceLive 2 doesn't have Synth or Talkbox. You can get a Robot style voice via the HardTune block. VoiceLive 3 presets are not able to be loaded on the VL2. Typically our presets don't translate from device to device.
