TC-Helicon VoiceOne

The TC-Helicon VoiceOne is a tool for modlisation voice and manipulation of tonality.
Besides the possibility to correct and implement the Tone of voice and CRER and a voice harmonizes with the original voice, this device allows a CONTRL of inflection, grain, blowing , the vibrato, reason and the spectrum.

Two operating modes are availables: normal mode o All features are availables and mode "PureShift" which, at the cost of disabling the CONTRL grain spectrum, reasonable and breath provides an implementation of the Tone near perfect and with a latency Reduces.

This unit comes with 100 factory and 50 prslections memory used ditables.
The effects are contrlables both the front panel by noon.

Submitted this unit as a 1U rack module with connectors noon (in / out / thru), 2 XLR in, XLR out 2 and S / PDIF in / out and a footswitch connector.

UTILIZATION

The installation is very simple, as with any Quipp worthy of the name, the manual Submitted even a few connections.

The edition of the sounds is quite simple as long as one knows well the meaning of the parameter. Navigation is done thanks to Arrows "up / down" and the value of paramtres changes with the knob.

The manual is a little thin and a section of learning does not not want to have, especially since the VoiceOne does not include a help function as the VoicePrism More

SOUND QUALITY

The effects are quite effective if only one did not ask him too. Do not bother trying to convert a David Charvet or by Lorie Garou has not work (dj transform DC singer with the voice seems insurmountable). In short, it is better to subtle changes in a voice without trying too the dnaturer, otherwise end up with a synthetic ultra rsultat.

The device also showed me some weaknesses by modulating my voice between chest voice and head voice: by doing exactly the same note in chest voice and head voice in (but much in the same octave), the VoiceOne leapt an octave supprieure.

The effects I use most are the pitch shift, pitch correct (for the harmonies) and the inflection. PureShift mode is really stunning for deuximes voice and inflection can dtach deuxime the voice of THE FIRST time both on attack and relches. As the unit is via contrlable noon, I can even allow me to dub the notes of the voice in my deuxime squenceur, edit them and then returning it to the VoiceOne. In short, the foot, if you do not ask him too.

OVERALL OPINION

APRS test have many vocal harmonisers (Akai, Yamaha, ...), it seems to be the first really viable because it gnre voice seems to have its "own life". For the pitch shift, mode allows the PureShift VoiceOne weapons to play with scabs Antares.

+ What is the best voice for the modeling
+ One of the best pitch shift I've ever heard given t, o excellent harmonies.
Trs + suitable for making voice deuximes
+ Use since squenceur
+ Pitch to Midi conversion

- A single voice both a multitrack is Necessary for harmonies make more than two votes.
- The dtection octaves is sometimes wrong
- David Charvet (see nothing but bad when even)
