I have an old RP multi-effect processor and it has a simple pitch shifter. However, the I dont like to use it becouse the shifted notes are not in synch with the cean notes. I also have a Pandora box wich has a pitch shifter and the same problem. Is this problem solved in the newer models or am I too picky?
I just got one of these - its called the HarmonyMan now for some reason. I don't think you are being too picky. I had a Boss PS-5 before this and I didn't use it much because the harmony notes were not in sync with what I was playing. I just assumed it was due to all the processing they had to do and since nothing else I tried was any better, I just stuck with the PS-5. They seem to have solved this problem in the HarmonyMan. Don't know how, but the harmonies are right in sync.
Does this thing also harmonize in something other than the natural key?If not it sucks...I have talked to people from Digitech and they don't have a clue I guess..So maybe somebody can answer..From what I have seen it will only do the natural scale..Which is REALLY stupid!
I'm not sure if this pedal only works in a natural key. can it harmonize over different keys such as pentatonic and blues? can anyone plz explain

Certainly minor pentatonic, as that is just the Aeolian without some of the notes. Blues scale I'm not too sure about., but again, it should be fine.

they need to add MIDI to this ..so it can go in the rack and be controlled via MIDI...

Agreed

Digitech already did (most of) that (minus "musIQ") about 10 years ago.
Only now did the pitching-chips get small and low-power enough to do this in pedal format.

not a whammy pedal...a harmonizer

Well the Whammy has quite a few Harmonizer modes.

the whammy also has HORRIBLE tracking for harmony.

I love the tracking on the whammy...it's very imperfect but the imperfections are beautiful

Not when it comes to guitar pedals, why the fuck would you get something that sounds like shit for a specific purpose?
ShimmySystem 2 years ago
Because it's not actually harmonizing, it's just adding a pitch shifted channel over your clean.
Meanwhile this pedal automatically knows how much semitones to shift to get the correct harmony.

so its basically a whammy pedal in a stomp box form?

why didn't Digitech post a DEMO of this thing ?
i did buy this ..they evidently re-named it "HM2" or Harmony Man 2
since the NAMM shoot.
it's cool..imagine One Guitar playing Queen 3-part Brian May solos, or "jessica" by the allman brothers
Digitech better get on the ball and post one of their Guitar Swamis with the HM2...it's a brand new product that not a lot of people know about....
i DO NOT work for Digitech or any music store..i'm just an old school player..wish i had this 25 years ago
