TC Helicon VoiceLive 2 Floor-Based Vocal Processor

BAJAAO India introduces the TC Helicon VoiceLive 2 Floor-Based Vocal Processor The VoiceLive 2 floor-based vocal processor from TC Helicon makes it easier to lead your own vocal backup group while sounding rich and authentically human at the same time.

It starts with a guitar, MIDI keyboard, or aux-input controlled vocal harmony algorithm with four intervals, each of which can be unison-doubled, or 8 discrete voices controlled by your MIDI keyboard playing And when you want to tap into your gospel soul, VoiceLive 2 effects pedal gives singers a Choir algorithm that creates the massive multi-voice group vocal sound to bring home those classic choruses.

Vocal effects pedal with more automatic features When you're worrying about parameter settings, you spend less time focusing on your music So when TC Helicon set out to build VoiceLive 2, they automated several of its features.

Auto Mic —Gain Set the mic gain from a standing position just by singing Once this is done there are no knobs to be jostled in transit and you can still do manual tweaks if you feel you'd like to.

Auto Gate —Feedback a problem? An all-new Auto Gate listens to you and adjusts to reduce feedback and effects leak-through while you're not singing Adaptive Tone —A single push of the Tone button engages studio-quality Shape EQ, compression, and de-essing that adapts to the tonal range of your singing style and voice for increased impact and smoothed dynamics.

Finally, your live singing can have that studio polish Reverb and Delay —ducking Increase the sustaining tail of your reverb and delay effects while carving out plenty of room for your lyrics with ducking.

The level of the effects is reduced while you sing and then subtly increases after your last syllable for a paradoxical deeper ambience with enhanced intelligibility Of course, this is all automatic—just select a ducking reverb or delay style, and VoiceLive 2 does the rest.

A vocal effects powerhouse All the processing power in VoiceLive 2 is available simultaneously to take your voice, your performances, and your music over the top In addition to vocal harmony, you can construct or select preset effect chains containing effects to: Distort your voice—Grunge is good.

Make a statement with the Transducer block that also has 4 pole filters for great megaphone and telephone effects Clone your voice—Employ up to 4 voices of humanized unison overdubs in addition to the harmony voices.

This sound has been used since recording began to fatten vocals Now it's your turn.

Expand your space—A completely new reverb algorithm envelops your voice in dense ambiances from teeny live rooms to concert halls and bright plate simulations Don't forget the delay block can serve to add depth or become a highlight effect whether it's using tap tempo or tape delay styles.

Mod ya later—The full ?Mod block brings lush chorus, slick microtuning, swooshing flange, and more to the party Those half-time bridge sections never sounded more psychedelic.

Random access Having a large chain of effects won't do as much good if you can't add and remove links in the chain when the mood strikes The individual stompbox footswitches for Harmony, Doubling, ?Mod, Reverb, Delay, and FX give you the flexibility to layer or simplify at will.

Also, there's a Shortcut footswitch that can be assigned to add other interesting features such as tap tempo, harmony hold, and others There is no separation between Song mode and Preset mode as there was in the original VoiceLive; each preset can have up to 50 steps each of which can contain a different preset or a simple modification of the main preset.
