    Yeah, I probably should have said in the video that I wouldn't usually use my foot to twiddle the knobs, but I thought that was so blindingly obvious I didn't need to. With recording equipment around me - mic stand, tripod etc, I couldn't reach down to change. Come on guys, I might be an idiot, but I'm not that daft.

    I've used one for a couple of years now. You've got to be careful of those knobs twisting out of place - best to take a last look at them before starting a song. A VERY special little-known effect happens when you sing a HARMONY PART and have it harmonize to that part: it comes up with a really-sweet-but-odd harmony. I often use this feature when singing my harmony part in a duo with another person singing 'lead'.

  • @scottyg222

    I use a harmonizor with a keyboard and I used to have the same issue of it singing a major harmony when I was playing a minor chord. What I figured out was if I played less notes on the keyboard when I played a minor key, it would sing perfect minor harmony every time! (example) If I played a Dm - d, f, and a - with my right hand it would sing an f# harmony note trying to force the chord to D major. But if I only played d and f notes with my right hand, it would sing a perfect D minor harmony! 100% of the time! The same can be done on the guitar by muting notes. Takes a little practice, but it works!

    Fantastic review! Auto gain in these pedals is actually 2 mic pre-amps each going into their own Analog to Digital Converter (ADC). One of these pres is high gain, the other is low gain. The DSP in the product selects between the two digital streams depending on which is optimal. The first product that I know of to first use this input scheme is a $9000 Neumann Digital microphone. It results in about 126dB input SNR.

  • @davestarns
    @davestarns Před 4 lety +4

    I bought one of these a year ago. After about six months, it became too unpredictable to use--randomly, when engaged, it adds severe clipping distortion to the vocal, with a pulsing effect, as though I've run my harmonies through a fuzz pedal and a tremolo. If I power it down (by pulling out the AC adapter) then back up, the effect goes away, but comes back intermittently. After it happened five times in one gig, I just stopped using it.

    • @kevincosgrove948
      @kevincosgrove948 Před 4 lety +1

      Dave Starns many people including myself have had the same thing happen. The problem is that when volume coming in through the mic line increases, it overloads the input and software. TC Helicon has put out a firmware update you can download from their website under “support”.

      Kevin Cosgrove yes, I saw that while researching the issue. They recommend that everybody with a Harmony Singer 2 do it (even if they I haven’t experienced the problem, because all the units are susceptible to it). I applied to mine, and it hasn’t given me a problem yet.

      @@aphrodence02 I don’t have this pedal but I have a Digitech Vocalist Live 4 that works the same way.
      From the mic, use an XLR into the pedal, then an XLR out to a mixer and speakers.
      Then, from a guitar, use a 1/4” instrument cable into the 1/4” input of the pedal, then a 1/4” instrument cable out of the pedal to an amp or mixer and speakers.
      The pedal uses the notes you play on the guitar to know what harmonies to add to the vocal notes.
      For example, if you play a A major chord and sing an A note, the pedal will add a C# if it’s set to a third up. Then play a A minor and sing the same note, the pedal will add a C note automatically.
      Without the guitar plugged in to the pedal, there’s no way for the pedal to know which harmony to add.

    It should actually be fairly easy to add a circuit to remove the guitar bleed since the guitar signal is fed into the pedal. You could just create a ‘noise print’ from that signal and remove it from the mix. Similar to the way noise canceling headphones work.

      On the Voicetone H1, the harmony pedal from them that I've been using for several years, you have the option to set it to use a certain key, or your guitar through-put to determine keys. On this, it seems to be missing that option, so I'd assume they just made it where it is simply ALWAYS pulling the key from the chords played? That would only make sense...

      The TC Helicon guy (in another video) said you need an instrument plugged in to know what chord the harmonies should belong to. But it doesn't have to be guitar - it can be a bass or a keyboard etc. (Bass may not always tell the difference between major and minor chords though). Probably wouldn't work with Electronic drums plugged in as the instrument😉.

      A bass guitar is no good, because you need to send in chords to harmonise. The guitarist's dry (no effect) chords may be suitable. If the Harmony Singer has to harmonize to a minor chord, the guitarist must play the third (chords without a third are interpreted as major).

      I think it bases the harmonies on the chords which the guitar is playing. I'm guessing that without the guitar, it wouldn't know what key to harmonise in or whether to use a major or minor scale, so it couldn't really work. The same company produce a similar product called the Voicetone H1 Intelligent Harmony Pedal, where you have the option to manually select the key of your song so it can harmonise with you without needing a guitar input.

    If I want to record my voice with the Helicon, and instead to use a real instrument, I connect the previous tracks already recorded (for example, rhythm guitar,bass,drums ),can this pedal recognize the chords of the music previously recorded, and so I can record my voice with this harmonizer?

      What a great idea...I have the RC 300 loop station (3 tracks). I'll have to try that and get back to you! I have two of this units (harmony singer) and sometimes use two mics and a y connector from my guitar and set the harmonies above and below. REALLY fat harmonies. Of course each unit goes into a separate channel on the mixer and adjust accordingly.

      I have the boss Acoustic Singer amp and the harmonizer works great. It was the feature that moved me to buy. At the time buying a cheaper amp plus this pedal was the same $$$
      so I thought why not buy the Boss.
      Busking on the street I just got a Fender Acoustic Junior Go which is rechargeable battery powered but sooo miss the harmonizer in the Boss, so now looking at this pedal.
      It seems pretty good, expensive $300+ in Canada, but the fender, pedal plus this harmonizer will be paid off by end of summer, based on what i have made in just 4 days busking.
      The Boss is a great little amp if you are gigging with power available.

    I had two of these and in the middle of gigs after leaving the stage for a break when you come back after not singing the vocals stutter like crazy on both units it has to do with auto gain shutoff the only solution is to power off and back on. the original Harmony singer with the gain control knob on the side is a better unit and does not have this inherent issue i returned both new ones and bought a used 1st generation, difficult to deal with mid song at a packed club.
