TC-Helicon Harmony-G XT

processeu harmony of voices, many good qualities effects (reverb, echo ....) With a tone knob which includes gate, Esser, autotune ...) when pressed, its notes of magic, the voice is clear spring Well, with a little reverb and all the presets on enregistreable

UTILIZATION

So first we must make a balance of the input signal and adjust if you want more guitar, to effect or more cores.
For the parameters of the tone knob, c frankly galley, for the rest it's like bein a multi purpose
Manual very clear, you'll quickly get the beast in hand

SOUND QUALITY

yes the effects are very well their taf, the sound is rather stunning, c is why what is highly addictive, on the other hand do not dream accuracy in singing must be presented, otherwise the harmonies will be ugly and despite the autotune

OVERALL OPINION

I used the last one week I am happy, I feel less alone when I sing with my guitar, parcontre only negative point, there is an audible latency when agreements are changing rapidly.
Very good pedal, excellent value for money, with a good looper it is a way to spend the entire summer making her =)

The VoiceTone Harmony-G XT (for "extended") summarizes the main features of the Harmony-G, but with the addition of features derived directly from the flagship of the fleet TC Helicon, namely, the VoiceLive 2.

Pedal Harmony-G XT is designed for singers and / or guitar singers. This clever little processor analyzes - in real time - voice and guitar to automatically generate harmonies based on the chords.
The Harmony-G XT can now define, in manual mode, and a key to generate a range of automatic vocal harmonies, without even playing a guitar as a guide.
In additions to this version of XT, we note detection algorithms "Natural Play" took on VoiceLive 2, and that can naturally play his guitar to control harmonies. The small effects section, which lists a new reverb superb quality, also includes a new combination reverb / delay. Finally, the Tone function to automatically clear timbre of the voice (with an equalizer and a compressor both adaptive) was supplemented with Gate (noise gate).

Finally, the Harmony-G XT also includes a USB port that allows connection to a computer to use the free VoiceSupport (access to updates, saving and loading presets, access to tips and tricks ...)

The features that made the Harmony-G a huge success among musicians:
- Real-time analysis guitar and voice to automatically reproduce vocal harmonies
- The Tone function brightens the timbre of the voice, with automated tools, a sound engineer
- 18 combinations of reverb, and DELAY μmod modulation applied to the voice (and reverb guitar)
- 10 memories (presets) each with two variations, A and B
- The harmonies include Third and Fifths (upper and lower), upper and lower octaves, and the unique Bass effect.
- True studio quality mic preamp (XLR and phantom power supplied mirrored)
- Configurable either stereo or mono out (XLR)
- The guitar signal is measurable, sharing the reverb, and has its own direct output to power amp or PA system.
- Also includes a fast and accurate guitar tuner.

The new version of the XT:
- Natural vocal harmonies further improved, driven with your single guitar accompaniment
- New studio-quality reverb, DELAY and combination effects taken from Voice Live 2
- Selection of four different styles of voice dubbing stereo (two voices to add yours)
- The effects presets reworked offer more opportunities following musical styles
- USB Plug: updates, saving presets, access to tips with software VoiceSupport
- Harmony adaptive Gate added to Tone for further clarify the stamp of voice
- Direct manual selection key and range for use without a guitar (vocals, but brass!)

The VoiceTone Harmony-G XT comes with the power supply unit (12 V / 0.4 A), a c, USB cable, and
CD-ROM containing software and VoiceSupport manual.

UTILIZATION

* The auto config is an innate simplicity

* The manual config:
saves presets keys to optimal functioning of harmonies on songs chosen with or without a guitar connected.

* The manual is very well developed and implementation is instant

SOUND QUALITY

The effects are very realistic, we must of course make his mark on the basis of sound reproduction equipment (to be discovered when the scales if you use the material available)

I'm not a guitarist, so the functions does not concern me.

I love the double voice to third, fifth, octave higher or lower for all
The warm colors stand, the reverbs and delays sometimes melt the public its layers of my keyboards, attack effects are clear and powerful.

OVERALL OPINION

I use this product for more than seven months in moderation because I have fear of not being able to do without it and forget my natural voice lol

I try other models, it was the most convincing (Boss with cabbage for me)

What I appreciate most is the overall quality of this little box and the ability to update new effects via the official website, I like least is the wire link power
(A stack would unfortunately not have the shock more than 5 hours so I think the technical choice is justified)

What are the effects or types of effects available?
there are reverb (hall, room), delay (echo, slap) compressors. These are very good quality TC effects. They can not be altered, only the choice between several presets. I find it not bad, it avoids taking too the head with it and it is faster to the music! The only downside to my taste, is that there is no Tap Tempo.
The effects are all digital

The connection level imput XLR, XLR out, a "dry" (which is also the stereo output) but can be very handy to send a signal of the neutral voice to the console. An instrument input jack in 6.35: imperative to have "just" vocals, this is a minor or major according to the tuning of the guitar.

UTILIZATION

Simple setup if you have a little experience in this kind of effects, if not a user is supplied with! There are 9 preset available and configurable wish. This is seen very clearly is that it can be called off because the preset with just one switch and it is in cyclic mode (12341234 ...) So on stage, it can take time. I used to 5. In each preset, you can choose between two preset in (A or B), switch on the left, the first support: A and 2nd support: B, so we can have the first with eg double octave on couplets (A) and hearts on the top third (B).'s choir is called the switch (ON) on the right.
There is a manual mode, but I never use it so no explanation at this level!
In short, you can easily get to create your own preset. I put the note 7 because I think it is a very lousy on this kind of thing pedals, let me explain: I happen a few times (on stage) in support of the switches support the same time on one of the mini switches (5 just above). It puts the zany suddenly manually or when it goes to third above to below. It's very annoying. I have exactly the same problem with the nova delay that I use too. I'm sure some of these pedals owner understand me. Yet I am anything but "nag", but sometimes in a hurry, it happens and it can ruin everything!

SOUND QUALITY

In terms of effects, it's very good. For this kind of pedal anyway because you have to compare what is comparable. This is the TC Electronic and I am fully satisfied with it!

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for 3 years, it's super tough, pedal weighs its weight. I have already done a lot together with, I've never had any problems, the LEDs are bright to dark scenes! I use it as a solo singer / duo or group with my components. I send the signal of my guitar out of the left out of my nova delay to the instrument input and this is the only condition to have cheours fair and beautiful! Ormis this flaw mentioned above but is easily repaired (being careful!) This is a very good pedal, it always surprises the public in the chorus out of the mix. Like any effect, if it is not abused too is very effective and efficient. I find the quality / good value, it was at least for me a very good investment.
And whether to repeat this purchase, it would undoubtedly and certainly not another brand (BOSS. ..)

The pedal has an automatic first of a number of parameters (compressor, de-esser, pitch correction)

Then a voiceover: it is imperceptible to someone who does not know your voice, and warmer spring.

Various echo effects or pre-programmed delay which can just set the power (not speed)

The addition of one or two voices of harmony.

UTILIZATION

Overall easy to configure. A glance at the manual is still necessary.

SOUND QUALITY

Splendid! I do not use backing vocals (harmony) on all the songs or the entire length of the pieces: to use with care.

OVERALL OPINION

It's been two months since I use it and I am delighted. This is a quality pedal that produces very interesting effects.
I will also buy a second for the second singer!
