An unconventional way to hook up the VoiceLive 2 .......

2012-02-21T12:29:36Z

In our band situation, our guitar player is on the opposite side of the stage from me. I play Bass. In order to get the harmonies from his guitar, i would have to run a long cable from his guitar (20ft min) hooked into the guitar input of the VL2, then run another long cable back into his pedal board. He had a slight problem with this due to his concern of signal loss, etc.

Seeing how he plays a clean rhythm 99% of the time, I decided to try this:
He mics his amp, and it goes into a channel on the board.
On the mixer, I routed his signal to the Mains, as well as an open subgroup (We use the Presonus Studio Live 16.4.2)
Out of the subgroup, I connect the cable to the Guitar input of the VL2. I then put a dummy 1/4 plug into the Guitar output since I do not want to process any guitar through the VL2.

When we tested this before a gig, it worked very well. The true test came when i tried this at a gig. Stage noise, etc. was a concern.

After 3 gigs with this scenario, I must say ... It is working flawlessly. The harmonies are right on 100% of the time.

Just thought I'd share this weird wiring setup with you all.

All the best,
Peter

Hey New hear but Hope to have a question answered

2012-02-20T03:26:27Z

I tried to send TC a message via their support contact form but it bombed on me because I didn't have a serial number.

I am wanting to know if the VL Play can be used in the AUX bus of a mixer. More specifically if it can handle Line level signals at input. We do a lot of shows where we don't control the sound, and some of these places refuse to put any effects in front of the mixer. It would also be handy to have one VL running in an AUX bus to supply efx to the background vocals in our band.

Thanks

Midi Harmony and me...

2012-02-19T18:30:27Z

My new VL2 is hooked up temporarily and I thought I would give it a whirl. I played around with the setup a little and decided I wanted to try controlling the harmonies with the keyboard. No I admit I haven't really jumped into the manual, as I was using my experience with my Voice Prism Plus to guide me along.

I connected my keyboard MIDI out to the VL2 MIDI in and turned USB off. I get the MIDI indicator on the display and NP to pop up when I sing (ahem, if that's what you can call it..)

The issue is if I stop playing MIDI notes on the keyboard, shouldn't the harmonies stop as well.If play no notes and "sing", I still get whatever harmony preset I am currently on and not just my voice. I suppose I expected that the harmonies would only appear if MIDI data was present to control them.

Please educate me on this as I must be missing something...

Thanks

Voicetone Correct XT with Voicelive touch connections

2012-02-19T16:02:53Z

I wish to use correct xt with my VLT for feedback control

Is it best to place correct after of before VLT the final connection will be into my bose L1 compact.

Amazing progress and... not sure what's next

Hello people, my name is Peter and I posted a post on this forum about a year ago. I wrote there that I have huge problems singing in key. I knew when I was off, but couldn't hit right notes anyway.

Now, after that amount of time I finally managed to improve my singing and I am able to sing a song almost perfectly when I hear vocals well or when there's an instrument that plays the vocal part. I just can sing in key if I hear the notes I need to sing.

The problem begins when I want to sing to a chord. Let's say someone plays a chord on a piano and there is no instrument playing the vocal part. How am I supposed to know which note I should hit out of those that the chord consists of? I am really lost then, if you are able to, please help me, it's so important.

Thank you very much, cheers!

Voice Live 2 and Motif XS 8

2012-02-18T21:18:36Z

I have VL 2 set to receive on Channel 1 Filtered out sysexc and PC. On Motif XS I have it set to transmit on Channel 1. Now here is what I find disturbing . I still get the MIDI LITE coming on even though I am not playing the keyboard. I have done the following:

I have set the "receive channels" in VL 2 to OFF. Set the "Transmit Channels" in Motif XS to OFF .....yet....when I play a song from the XS sequencer the MIDI lite comes on and sometimes the "NP" light comes on also. ("NP" = Note Played.. I think that's what it means.). Weird?????. Nothing should be transmiting from the XS, and nothing should be receiving by the VL 2. Anyone ideas???

voiceworks demo video's

2012-02-18T00:35:13Z

Hi, can anyone suggest a good basic video for voiceworks as I am having a tough time understanding the manuals. I just want to learn how to program in songmode.

Also is voiceworks plus more user friendly that Voice works?

Thank you

Murray

Harmony GXT led's

2012-02-17T17:44:09Z

I had a Harmony "G" now I have the "XT". My first issue,, the leds (lights) for the "preset number", FX options, voice 1 and voice 2 are mush dimmer (75%) than the other lights. On my "G" they were all the same. I play outside a lot and I don't think I'll be able to see them as well. Is this a factory thing or can I do something about it? I'll need to fix this b4 I add my foot pedal.

Is there a documentation available for the new presets that can be downloadad via VoiceSupport? Like the PDF "VoiceTone Synth Presets and Styles Reference v1.1" for the original presets?

Guitar Input Jack..

2012-02-16T18:53:20Z

Is the Guitar Input jack Hi-Z only or can it handle line level from say a mixer? I didn't find the info anywhere in the manual

Voicelive 2 on the desk

2012-02-16T17:03:42Z

Those of you that have your VoiceLive 2 located on a desk/shelf, I have a quick question. Do you find the foot-switches hard to press? I am going back and forth between this and the rack mount and I have a shelf above my keyboard (with rack gear and space). I think the VL2 would be more versatile in that is mobile.

I can put it on the floor under the desk, but it would compete with other pedals for space and be a tad more difficult to tweak. Of course if there was an PC "editor" (hint hint..) than this would be a mute point.

Thanks

VL2 cuts out when screaming???

2012-02-15T23:56:50Z

Hi,
I have been using/tweaking the VL2 at home, and love its capabilities.
When I get to practice it works fine on the singing, but cuts out durring the
extreme high or low screams.

At home, it is just me with the acoustic....is this the right piece of equip. to handle a full-volume metal show??

Anyone having the same issues?
Any suggestions?

Thanks a million....Peace!

Informations about mic-preamps

2012-02-15T13:41:58Z

Hi everyone,
I own a vocal floor pedal with a bad mic-preamp (not by TC-Helicon, obviously!) that ruins my voice in live concerts if I use it in series between microphone and mixer, and I can't use it in a parallel loop on the mixer because it doesn't allow this configuration (it would also be a problem to link it to the mixer from the stage).
So I'm going to buy a TC-Helicon vocal processor, still not sure if a VoiceLive Play, a VoiceWorks or a VoiceWorks Plus.

I found online a comparison chart among several old TC-Helicon products: Voicelive 1, Voiceworks, Quintet, VoicePrism etc, and it states that mic-preamps of these products are all based on the same amplifier (Burr Brown INA 163).
This chart has the TC-Helicon brand and graphic style, so I presume it was released by your company.

Since I'll need to plug the processor in series between microphone and mixer (as these products are intended to) I'd really appreciate to know this kind of technical information about preamps of the current models.
If you can't give the exact amplifier models, could you at least tell me if VoiceLive Play shares the same mic-preamp of VoiceWorks plus and/or VoiceLive 2?

Thanks, and thank you for this very useful forum!
