| TC Helicon "VoiceLive" vocal processor
A studio vocal rack on stage!
Main Features:
When you’re in the studio you use great tools to get the best out of your vocal
performance. You spend time auditioning mic preamps, reverbs, EQs, delays and
effects to get a recording just right. With VoiceLive you have all your vocal
tools in one dedicated box for live performance and control. You get the same
quality processing you expect in a studio environment. The EQ, compression,
delay and reverb algorithms boast renowned TC-Quality that professionals have
come to expect. VoiceLive also contains the best harmony, correction and
doubling algorithms from TC-Helicon’s acclaimed rack mounted vocal processor,
VoiceWorks.
In addition to the studio quality signal path, TC-Helicon developed and
implemented VOSTM Limiter – an optical limiter optimized for voice. The analog
architecture of the VOSTM Limiter ensures that you’ll never distort the mic
input while maintaining premium sound quality.
The most natural sounding harmonies
Creating realistic background vocals is easy with VoiceLive. Four unique harmony
logic algorithms add harmonies with varying amounts of intelligence. The harmony
parts are generated from your lead voice – or if you’re looking for even more
punch from your harmonies, let a second singer use VoiceLive to create a
multi-voice back-up ensemble
VoiceLive uses the same revolutionary technologies to generate real-time
harmonies as the TC-Helicon rack-mount harmony product, VoiceWorks. Each of the
four harmony voices uses the Hybrid ShiftingTM algorithm. This superior
pitch-shifting algorithm is combined with
a voice-trained pitch-detection algorithm and human-modeled naturalization
parameters to create natural harmonies to reinforce your live performances.
Transparent Pitch Correction
Driven by TC-Helicon’s voice-trained pitch-detection algorithm, VoiceLive’s
automatic pitch correction is the most transparent available. With factory and
custom scales, the “Correct” block can fix intonation problems in any musical
style. Amount, Attack and a 200-cent window
control make natural pitch correction easy to achieve.
Easy Control at your feet
TC-Helicon worked with numerous performing vocal artists during the design of
VoiceLive. Using the feedback from these artists and TC-Helicon’s experience in
vocal processing, VoiceLive was designed for easy control in any setup. Eight
foot-switches and multiple control modes make VoiceLive easy to use in your
performance.
Preset Mode gives you fast hands-free access to harmony parameters like
key and scale type.
Song Mode lets you select from stored songs and navigate
through their steps.
Direct Mode give direct access to stored presets – It’s as easy as selecting
radio stations on your car radio.
Voices Mode lets you individually toggle each harmony voice on/off using
the top four foot-switch buttons.
A user foot-switch is assignable to TAP Tempo (for the delay effect), Harmony
Hold™, and to many other useful parameters. Get more creative control by using
an expression pedal to sweep through assignable modifiers.
Built for the road
To ensure the integrity of your vocal performance, VoiceLive is assembled with
rugged components. The bottom plate is constructed using a powder-coated
steel-plate with anti-skid rubber matting. The buttons and data knobs are
recessed and reinforced by double aluminium construction. Rear mounted die-cast
steel handles protect your cables and make it easy to carry. You don’t need to
be gentle with VoiceLive.
