Control your vocal harmony processor with your guitar

Do you sing?
Do you play guitar?
Now you can control your vocal harmony processor while you play guitar.

All you forward-thinking singers who use a harmony processor and play guitar now have the option of adding harmonies to more songs, more easily with the must-have harmony accessory; Harmony Control | Guitar, by TC-Helicon.

HarmonyControl | Guitar reads your guitar playing and tells your MIDI equipped harmony processor how to sing "the right stuff". If you've ever used Key and Scale harmony, you'll know it works wonderfully for a lot of songs, but now you can add even more harmony songs to your repertoire while you focus on playing and singing your best. Previously, only MIDI keyboard players had the ability to create spontaneous harmony parts but now it lies in your hands too.

Watch how Laura Clap uses Harmonycontrol|guitar in combination with VoiceLive to create some awesome harmonies.

Hi Sara, TC Helicon is releasing the TC Voicetone HarmonyG pedal in June wich integrates both the Guitar to Midi control and 2 part harmony processor and effects in a single pedal. Less advanced the the Harmony Control Guitar pedal + VoiceLive, but easier to use and more affordable. Check the Harmony G video for more info

you mean that backing vocal is AI arranged?

[ambertechnology]

The Harmony Control pedal detects the specific chords played on your guitar and translates this information into MIDI which is send to your Harmony Processor. Which harmony parts will generated depends on how you've programmed your harmony processor to respond to the incoming MIDI information

Cool!

Thanks, mate...!!

So, is there any voice pre-recording required as a base for harmonisation? Or the engine processes the sample on-the-fly as the singer sings?

Cheers

This happens all on-the-fly,live input... it really is as simple as it seems :-)

I remember the earliest harmony processors of about 20 years ago. They would just produce major key triads based upon the sung note which didn't always work. I see much has improved.
