Helicon VoiceLive
Vocal Processor
A studio vocal rack on stage
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.
