Vocal Harmonies

and dont forget to save that as a song.

the easy part is, you need only one sysEx message to do it.

we have a slight problem though : the range of the harmonizer is not setup for more than 2 or so octaves i would guess, so, thats LESS work for us! we need to type in this code only for 12 keys!!

this effect is to reproduce sort of what a TC Helicon Vocalpro will do. It just adds two more notes on top of your singing in real time. I dont know how he did it so well though. What does it mean it was fixed?>

tc helicon will harmonize based on the key you are in. a fixed harmony is always exactly the same number of intervals away from the root... often that is not a pleasing harmony. the chord memory is a good example... I cant even imagine what the heck anyone would use a chord memory for without the option of different chords.... but try it.

choose your chord... say C maj7

then hit the keys.... no matter what you get a major 7th chord... nobody plays like that!!!

often we play inverted roots and perfect 5ths and all kinds of augmented and diminished chords to give the music passion... fixed harmonies and chords are not good for that

yes, but chord memories can be looked upon this way : say, you have an interesting chord but you are afraid you might forget it. then, you can put it in chord memory. this is what i use it for.

geez thats great but you can write it down too... i myself think that the idea was left unfinished in preference of other ideas

well now you can use the pads to choose differnet chords so you could play a whole intro riff or a chord structure using it. I just wish you could use these chords in an arpeggio.

Anyways i was tryin to use the pitch shifter and i cant nearly get it as good as the guy in the video has it. It sounds pretty good when he does it. (at the roland site) I was wondering if anyone could help me achieve that?

For it to sound great you have to sing in pitch. Also you have to sing on the root note of the chord you want or it would give you chord you wont want

Yes I would hope that people would sing in pitch haha, but it just doesnt sound right

Hi all,

Check this Thread, because it possibly may help creating Vocal Harmony effects everyone is looking for. I'm currently experimenting right now.

Does anyone know how to do this on a Fantom XR (using Cubase SX3 as a sequencer)?

My gear list.

Well... I guess someone wants to know the steps for XR..
-Go to performance mode.
-hit then hit Mix-In knob(push it in).
-you will be in InputFX menu. Enable both Input and FX.
-hit .. you will be in Input Setting Menu.
Here you can highlight anyitem and just hit to do modifications.(i.e. input type selection microphone, line in , etc)
- menu let you set any of 6 input effects.
- menu (called MixIn output menu) let you select MFX for the output.
You will see you can select any of 3 MFX of the performance you are in. So just set up your own performance for audio input manipulations if you want,.
This is where you set your output MFX to your vocal input(or any audio input)..
2 voice pitch shifter seem to be good idea for vocal harmony.
Try chain MFX. e.g. 2 voice pitch shifter MFX with Telephone MFX .. you will get vocals with harmony thru Telephone effects.. Input guitar audio output and apply distortion MFX etc..etc..

where can I set that MFX?
Just Hit FX (blue button) and you will be in another selection menu where you can highlight anyMFX and modify it or chain MFX.(it is easier with FX editor since you can see them in more detail and clearly)

THANK YOU!!!!!

Wow, there is no way I would have ever figured all of that out on my own. Thanks a million!!!
