World's first processors that automatically generate live multi-part vocal harmony by analyzing
guitar chord progressions.
Accurate vocal harmonies even with
complicated songs...because only Vocalist Live tracks guitar chords, not your voice.
.
A
surprising number of songs "fool" other harmonizers because these songs just don't work with a single key/scale
setting. In fact, any song that has the same note sung over two different chords (for example, a C sung in the melody
over a C maj/F maj chord sequence) is going to confound conventional harmonizers.
Vocalist Live uses breakthrough musIQ(tm) technology to directly analyze the output of any electric
or pre-amplified acoustic guitar (no special MIDI guitars or hex-outputs needed). Then it generates the correct vocal
harmony. For example, if you're singing an A over the chords that are generally found in the key of G, Vocalist
will harmonize with a C. But, if you then play an A major, Vocalist will shift to the C#...because like any good harmony
singer, it listens to the guitar! With musIQ, forget about the technology - just sing and play! Skip complicated
programming and having to anlyze each song chord-by-chord; just...
1. Plug in your microphone and guitar;
2. Pick a 3rd or 5th-above or below harmony preset;
3. Sing and play - when you want harmony, just step on the footswitch!
Patent-pending musIQ technology combines new Note
Detection algorithms with state-of-the-art Harmony Generation. The Note Detection section analyzes complex guitar waveforms
and determines which notes in each chord are critical to accurate harmony. This information is then fed to an advanced
harmony engine that creates harmonies consistent with both the singer's melody and the underlying guitar accompaniment.
This totally new, muscially-intelligent hybrid of
traditionial chordal and scalic harmony modes means that Vocalist Live musIQ harmonies stay true to not only the overall key
and song scale, but also localized variations due tot chords that aren't part of the global key. You've never
heard anything like it!
