Exciting new vocal harmony capability
Now it’s easier than ever to lead your own vocal backup group and
sound rich and authentically human at the same time. It starts
with a guitar, MIDI keyboard or aux-input controlled vocal
harmony algorithm with four intervals, each of which can be
unison-doubled or 8 discrete voices controlled by your MIDI
keyboard playing. And when you want to tap into your gospel soul,
there’s the completely new Choir algorithm that creates the
massive multi-voice group vocal sound to bring home those
memorable choruses.
More automatic features
When you’re worrying about parameter settings, you spend less
time focusing on your music so we’ve automated several of
VoiceLive 2’s features.
* Auto Mic Gain – now you can set the mic gain from a standing
position just by singing. Once this is done there are no knobs to
be jostled in transit and you can still do manual tweaks if you
want to.
* Auto Gate – Feedback a problem? An all new Auto Gate listens
to you and adjusts to reduce feedback and effects leak-through
while you’re not singing.
* Adaptive Tone – A single push of the Tone button engages
studio quality Shape EQ, compression and de-essing that adapts to
the tonal range of your singing style and voice for increased
impact and smoothed dynamics. Finally your live singing can have
that studio polish.
* Reverb and Delay ducking – Increase the sustaining tail of
your reverb and delay effects while carving out plenty of room
for your lyrics with ducking. The level of the effects is reduced
while you sing and then subtly increases after your last syllable
for a paradoxical deeper ambience with enhanced intelligibility.
Of course, this is all automatic – just select a ducking reverb
or delay style, VoiceLive 2 does the rest.
A vocal effects powerhouse
OK we’ve put all our cards on the table here. Now that we have
the processing power we’ve just put everything we have in
VoiceLive 2. It’s all available simultaneously to take your
voice, your performances and your music over the top. In addition
to vocal harmony, you can construct or select preset effect
chains containing effects to:
* Distort your voice – Grunge is good. Make a statement with the
Transducer block that also has 4 pole filters for great megaphone
and telephone effects.
* Clone your voice – employ up to 4 voices of humanized unison
overdubs in addition to the 8 harmony voices. This sound has been
used since began to ten vocals, now it’s your turn.
* Expand your space – A completely new reverb algorithm envelops
your voice in dense ambiences from teeny live rooms to concert
halls and bright plate simulations. Don’t forget the delay block
can serve to add depth or become a highlight effect whether it’s
using tap tempo or tape delay styles.
* Mod ya later – The full µMod block brings lush chorus, slick
microtuning, swooshing flange and more to the party. Those half
time bridge sections never sounded more psychedelic.
Random access
Having a large chain of effects won’t do as much good if you
can’t add and remove links in the chain when the mood strikes.
The individual stompbox footswitches for Harmony, Doubling, µMod,
Reverb, Delay and FX give you the flexibility to layer or
simplify at will. Also, there’s a Shortcut footswitch that be
assigned to add other interesting features such as tap tempo,
harmony hold and others. There is no separation between Song mode
and Preset mode as there was in the classic VoiceLive; each
preset can have up to 50 steps each of which can contain a
different preset or a simple modification of the main preset. Go
ahead, get dirty and start creating now.
