Harmony Singer - In Depth

[@enriquetormos1375]

The most precise short and thorough presentation , ever. Congratulations !

[@liiliiliiliil]

seriously this is the best demo of this pedal ive seen so far

[@tchelicon]

Hi Deiter, Our units detect the incoming chords and create harmony from a combination of that and your lead vocal note, so there's no need to adjust anything when playing a 1/2 step down. The unit will simply "hear" an Eb instead of an E, for example. Everything will work just the same as it would with standard tuning.

[@MarkMaysey]

Excellent video Tom, I just got one of these and have been dying to give it a try, but wanted to watch some vids about it first and yours was the first one I found after searching for this pedal, I may not watch anymore after this excellent demo you've given and just jump right in and start playing around with it. Thank you Tom!

[@phrozen755]

Tom Lang is TC Helicon's best sales person and it's not even close. Great video even 11 years later. Convinced me to purchase!

[@ponzo1967]

I caught a local act the other night and the guitar player was using this for back up vocals and he sounded good. Real thick and nice tone

[@phrozen755]

@@ponzo1967 I've had my pedal for about 4 weeks already and it has c o m p l e t e l y changed my set. Absolute game changer!

[@arielibanez3469]

Thanks man for doing a clear in depth demo on this product. Great Job!

[@bbbpdaddy]

This video is very comprehensible for the foreigner such as me Japanese, Highly appreciated.

[@tchelicon]

Hi John, the guitar signal passes through the Harmony Singer on the way to the amp. We look at the incoming dry/clean chord information to work out the harmonies and the signal moves right along to your guitar pedals/amp.

[@michaelalxndr1890]

Amazing Pedal. Awesome demo. Looking forward to getting one of these.

[@tchelicon]

Awesome! Let us know what you think when you get one.

[@JesssicaManalo]

My Harmony Singer will randomly stop in the middle of songs. Tone button is red and the top right light is red and no sound comes out. I don’t know what to do.

[@tchelicon]

Hi David, I'd think of the H. Singer as an even smaller and simpler G-XT. The sounds are both of the same quality, but there's presets and some other options in the G-XT that the harmony singer doesn't have. It's more intended to chuck down on the floor and get a great harmony whenever you want it, with minimal setup.

[@vikxie]

Thank you so much Tom for the video, so well explained , I just bought the pedal and i can not wait to receive it and use it live. GREAT !!!

[@yanilelingenioso]

hi! my people want to find out for sure and step by asking if the Harmony Singer works well with condenser microphones requiring 48v mic such as that I have I

[@tchelicon]

Hi Dexter, All of our pedals in this form factor offer +24V phantom power. The Rode may require +48. If that's the case, then you'd need an external +48 phantom supply.

[@4Mharmony3869]

Wishing to have this Gadget sooooon! Praying...

[@marctucciaronemusic7738]

What does it do for sus 4 chords or 6/9 chords ? Does it basically only find 3rds above and below the main vocal melody voice?

[@tchelicon]

Hi Nicky, Yep. The caveat is that the mix of the particular track will determine how well the chord tracking works. The better the unit can "hear" clear chords (root+3rd+5th etc.) the better it will work.

[@tchelicon]

HI Randy, The Harmony Singer doesn't create any guitar audio or processing, so you can't get audio out the Mic out.

[@tchelicon]

Heya Michael, You could do either. It's up to you to tune the guitar itself, so the placement of the tuner only matters if the pedal before it would somehow affect the sound. Harmony Singer doesn't change the guitar sound, so the tuner will "hear" it the same in either setup.

[@dschopparound]

Thanks Tom!!....I also want to mention that i really liked the sound of you and your band when you were demonstrating the Harmony GXT!!....Sounded Great!!

[@mitchelledels9762]

How does the momentary mode work and what is its function How do you set it up

[@tchelicon]

Mitchell Edels Momentary mode activates the harmony only when the button is pressed. The default mode is "Latched" which is press on, press off. You can change the button function by holding down the footswitch as you power up the pedal. It will remember which "state" it's in on subsequent power cycles.

[@tchelicon]

Hi Jose, No, you need 12V to power the preamp and other electronics in the pedal. That's also why we don't offer battery power...yet.

[@JesssicaManalo]

do you have to plug in your guitar through the pedal??? i play acoustic mostly..should i just plug through a separate DI??

[@tchelicon]

Hey Jessica! You do have to plug your guitar in through the pedal, yes. There is a 1/4 inch inupt and output on the sides of the stompbox, and the mic in/out is on the back. The Pedal needs your guitar plugged in so that it can generate harmonies based on the chords you are playing! If your acoustic does not have an amplification system already, a simple pickup will definitely do the trick! Here's a link to more details about the Harmony singer in case you have any more questions:www.tc-helicon.com/Categories/Tchelicon/Vocal/Stompboxes/HARMONY-SINGER-2/p/P0CDA#googtrans(en|en) Thanks for singing with us :)

[@JesssicaManalo]

amazing thank you for that!! that makes total sense why it sounded off pitch time to tme! TY!

[@tchelicon]

Hi Dexter, You can definitely use a wireless mic. Typically, the mic receiver will have an xlr output, which you could run into the Harmony Singer's XLR input. Just watch the gain staging. You'll need to make sure that the signal coming from your receiver doesn't overload the H. Singer's input. You want to see green/yellow LED almost all the time when you sing, but never red.

[@JimicaRenee]

What happens when you see red out what does it mean

[@dschopparound]

I have the Harmony GXT.....of which i love......What are the differences???...

[@brunodesigner]

Hi! I've tried this, but the Harmony Singer does not appear in the list of products... :\

[@MichaelJacques]

I've used this pedal at gigs and at rehearsal. Fantastic! Simple to use and sounds great.

[@DAMIENGUNNmusic]

CAN IT WORK ON BASS TOO?

[@tchelicon]

+DAMIEN GUNN We need chord information to create harmonies correctly. A bass doesn't often play chords, so it's not that great for it. I'd try an H1 where you can set the key/scale manually, though you'd have to do it per-song. VoiceLive Play would probably be a better bet.

[@JuanBlasBecerra]

Hi, great review but Can I plugged and used it with the Helicom Mic Mechanic 2 just with one microphone? I wonder if this harmony singer pedal will rectified or correct me the pitch without using a guitar , as I’m not gonna play guitar , I wanted to use to sing along backing tracks, Thanks

[@jjudge88]

Why can't I find a video demo of the change in harmony from a single vocal note changing from the guitar input? Like a singer holding out a single note while the guitar moves through different chords where the harmonies change.....

[@carlitos3000ful]

how many cables i need? i believe 3 ?? one for my microphone to the pedal one to my guitar to the pedal and and one to the pedal to my amplifier or consola ..and what kind of cables ??thanks

[@tchelicon]

You need one more mic cable to go from the Harmony Singer to your mixer/PA. 2 XLR (mic) cables and 2 TS (guitar) cables will do it.

[@carlitos3000ful]

+TC-Helicon thank you very much !!!!

[@gbg3663]

Can anyone PLEASE tell me if you can adjust the original voice signal and the backing vocals levels separately? Thank you so much!

[@tchelicon]

Hi Guilhermebgirardi! You can adjust the volume level of the harmonies to your lead vocal right on the pedal, and you'd adjust your lead volume from the mixing console.

[@gbg3663]

I've got the Harmony Singer 2 but after a few days using it starts suddenly to blink an inttermitent red light making the pedal RANDOMLY ACTIVATE AND DEACTIVATE THE HARMONIES (more specifically: when I sing SLIGHTLY louder then just talking into to microphone)! Plus the foot switch DO NOT MAKE THE BLINKING LIGHT TO STOP. What am I supposed to do? The product is NEW!!!!!!, and I think it may have started after I just TESTED the Momentary Mode. - And I only have the pedal for HALF A WEEK!!!!! I don't even believe that's the need of an updated firmware. I WANT A REPLY!!!! This is UNUSABLE!!!! @tc helicon

[@nickolopapini2073]

Hi everyone. i bought Harmony Singer 3 months ago from U.A.E. i've used it 3 times only.All this time the device was stored at home in good conditions.yesterday i've connected it..& unwanted noise started ...i push ground lift button..no use.all wires is new.Mixer is new.i've tried to do it in several mixers,speakers..with same result (noise) Any advises ? thanks

[@rodtompkinsmusic]

Great video, Tom! You do some of the best gear demos and tutorials in the industry.

[@chrisbassett2747]

great demo!!! Thanks it answered all my questions!

[@daryldickerson1101]

Help ! ... I turned on my T/C Helicon Harmony Singer (Blue Box) and the vocal part doesn't work anymore. The guitar plays through it fine but dead silence on the vocal. The only thing I know wrong is the little mike button on the right is gone, but it fell apart months ago and I'm pretty sure it has worked ok without it (I could be wrong). Inside the T/C where the 'button housing' box is/was, there are only the 6 terminals sticking up. So I have a couple questions; (1) Do I need the mike button for the TC Harmony Singer to work? ... and if so, ... (2) can I jumper across a couple of the 6 terminals to permanently lock it in the 'non-mike' mode ? (I don't even have the controlable mike) ... and if so, ... (3) which terminals do I jumper? Many thanks in advance

[@treasuredmusic7836]

I have used a Harmony Singer for sometime now with great success. However as of late I get a lot of static. I have traced the problem to the Harmonizer. I used the ground lift but to no avail. Can the instrument in and out connections be cleaned with DeoxIT ? DeoxIT improves electronic connections. I have used DeoxIT on my mixer when it made static and the problem cleared up. Please contact me asap as I have lots of gigs lined up.

[@dextervincent7994]

is this equipment can i use wireless mic instead of TC Helicon MP-75 Dynamic Vocal Mic thank you i order it already thnks for the bit

[@DeiterJason]

Maybe this has been answered and I missed.... I play a lot with guitars all half step down. I currently have the original harmony g and I have to power it down and tune it to the guitar. How did his unit compare in that regard?

[@zenkie82]

how can i connect my acoustic guitar effects, using with this harmony singer?

[@kiskadar69]

Step 1: Connect the guitar output to the "INST IN" input of the TC-Helicon Harmony 2. Step 2: connect the TC-Helicon Harmony 2 "INST THRU" output to the input of the first guitar effect pedal (if you don't have a guitar effect pedal, connect it to the input of the guitar amplifier). The INST THRU is a buffered bypass and doesn't affect the guitar signal in any way.

[@tchelicon]

Yep absolutely you can use an acoustic guitar. That said, H. Singer doesn't provide processing, so it can't boost the level. We just read the incoming chords and send the signal on its way down the line.

[@teleman65]

I seen a video of this unit being used without the power cord in it as if there is a way to use it waith a battery. I have this unit but cant figure out where there is a place to use it with a battery. Can someone please tell me if and where the battery goes on this

[@Dozereyes]

Here the question? Can I use this live with my rock cover band on stage? I'm hearing that it is very iffy with loud volume on stage.

[@DaviSilva-im5ho]

Amazing! It's really a very nice voice pedal. I'm gonna buy it.

[@natanaelaranda8949]

tom lang 'Harmonies mode' and how to return back to normal harmonies, i did that and now is not going back to normal? guitar center said is broke but i still used that way, but is getting a pain, when you have drum machine can you please please explain,: I shot off the power and disconect an still the same is lock ??

[@kiskadar69]

[@jeroenjanssen5162]

Nice machine. Does it matter if I use it after a few (5, some are buffered) other pedals? Though none of which is engaged. except the reverb.

[@tchelicon]

+Jeroen Janssen We always recommend putting it first in the signal chain so that the HS gets the clearest chords it can, then passes the signal to the rest of your path. It's a buffered bypass itself.

[@johncarlo7395]

Very well explained & demo'd Tom, thanks John.

[@jaimealexisedades8871]

How much are the various products you have in the market?

[@preciousfew68]

Is it OK to use an acoustic guitar preamp after the Harmony Singer? I have a passive soundhole pickup (Fishman) fitted to my guitar and it has a low output. I want to achieve a volume boost. Amp is a Roland AC33. Hope these are not dumb questions.

[@DopamineOverload]

Any chance you guys could add the momentary harmony switch in a firmware update to the Harmony G-XT?

[@jakjan1]

great demo

[@sleepypanda9126]

Can i just connect my mic to the Harmony singer, and then connect to my mixer and just sing without guitar to get harmony for my song. I will have the mp3 player connected to the mixer and play. Please advise. thanks,

[@jmoreno6516]

Do you HAVE to plug your guitar through it in order for this to work?? Or can I just plug my microphone cables into it and use it?

[@BarneyFife00]

Can i plug both mic and acoustic steel string guitar with a soundhole p/u into the same (Ibanez Troubador) acoustic guitar amp?

[@NickyVD-Habay]

Hello I don't play guitar, nor keyboard...does this also work with instrumental backings on cd or mp3? Thanks

[@TonyTucker-jm6ff]

Great presentation Tom. I have a question though. I love the products, I have both the mic mechanic 2 and the vocal harmony 2. My question is can they be used in tandem? Would I just jump from mic out to mic in from unit to unit? I know VH2 uses guitar to control harmony and the Mic mechanic doesn’t. So if you could suggest how I might use both pedals in a chain? Thanks so much! Tony T.

[@kiskadar69]

Yes, you can use it in tandem. Option 1: first pedal is Mic Mechanic 2 (ECHO off, REVERB off, CORRECTION on/off, TONE on/off), second pedal is Harmony Singer 2 (TONE off). Option 2: first pedal is Harmony Singer 2 (REVERB off, TONE on/off), second pedal is Mic Mechanic 2 (CORRECTION off, TONE off).

[@FarhanMusicKamsani]

I'm planning to connect this to my lil looper. Will my looper be able to loop my voice too, considering that the XLR input and output are both on the HS unit. Thanks!

[@tchelicon]

Farhan Kamsani If the looper has an XLR input, then sure.

[@FarhanMusicKamsani]

TC-Helicon thank you for the reply. Another query, my lil looper (which I'm connecting this Harmony Singer to) has a headphone input. So I would only need to plug in my mic to the XLR input, without have and XLR output, and still be able to hear the harmonies through the headphone right?

[@AngelAndTheWolf]

1) Does the Harmony Singer queue off the actual guitar notes in the 3rd and 5th positions, or does it queue off the chord FORM? 2) I know it can read the difference between a third and a minor third, but can it read the difference in a 5th and a diminished 5th, or an augmented 5th ?

[@tchelicon]

AngelAndTheWolf Heya! 1. It looks at the root+3rd+5th and then any other notes it can to determine the chord. Using alternate chord forms does affect what the system does with the harmonies. Sometimes, using an inversion will get you the harmony output you want if the other version of the chord isn't working for you. 2. It can tell the difference between the chords and the out put will vary based on the lead note you're singing and the chord it sees, plus the voice output you've selected. That said, in something like Harmony Singer, you're limited to the guitar detection, whereas in something like VoiceLive 3 you can do custom scale maps for the times when guitar detection isn't giving you the output you want.

[@chrislynnful]

what kind of plug is plugged in the out to the pa? could you show that?

[@tchelicon]

It's an XLR out to the PA (regular mic cable)

[@chrislynnful]

TC-Helicon thank you. can't wait to try it.

[@martssssss]

Hi guys, does this effects require to have an instrument plugged in to it? hope you guys could reply. im thinking if i could use this w/ my band. im on lead vocals none of my bandmates seem to like doing the 2nd voice/harmony thing so im thinking of options how to get that harmony i've been looking for w/ an old band i play with..

[@brunodesigner]

Guys! Amazing! Tell me where can I buy one, please! :D

[@wea5elkicks895]

Is having a line out to a pa a must to have the pedal work? Or can you use it just by going through your amp? Or even by having an XLR to 1/4 inch jack cable to a separate amp?

[@neobx2]

Can the harmony singer also be controlled by the MO75

[@dextervincent7994]

I HAVE MINE NOW...CAN I USE RODE NT1A IN THIS EQUIPMENT WITHOUT USING MIC PRE AMP THNK U

[@chrislynnful]

do I have to plug into the guitar out . I'm not playing thru amp. will my guitar still com thru pa?.Or do I run the guitar out back to the mixer?

[@tchelicon]

Yes you have to run out the guitar output. Harmony Singer does not apply any tone or FX to the guitar signal itself, nor does it out your guitar signal via the XLR output. If you don't come out the output and run to the PA, your guitar will not be heard. :)

[@djnarain246]

There is no Mike gain switch in Harmony Singer 2 ..? Am surprised.....pls guide

[@kiskadar69]

The Harmony Singer 2 has Automatic Gain Control (AGC).

[@ryanybos]

Thank you Tom!

[@DeiterJason]

I just received the unit yesterday and keep in mind, I have an original Harmony G as well. The Harmony Singer was not tracking properly with a drop D tuning song last night and playing a full chord and 3rd below. I am going to sample again tonight and compare against the Harmony G. Also, I find that I have far less headroom with the tone engaged before I get feedback that has to be eq'd out which is counterproductive. Advice?

[@tchelicon]

Yep sure can. There's a Mic Control button on the side, just like the Mic Mechanic you have. It'll work with an MP-75 or Sennheiser e 835 fx.

[@rodtompkinsmusic]

For a keyboard with MIDI out, you should get the Harmony M for superior MIDI chord tracking, stereo output, more control of harmony and effect settings, and 10 programmable presets. It's not quite as small as this pedal but still quite compact. I use 2 Harmony M units on gids, so the other singer in my band can provide 3 part harmony behind me based on my keyboard playing. Love my TC-Helicon!

[@carlitos3000ful]

can you configure this pedal with just a one backing vocal ..example like just 2 voices ??mee and 1 backing to be more realistic and not so Alvin ??Sorry my english

[@tchelicon]

Yep sure. You'd use the single "high" or "low" voice harmony settings. Realism is in the ears of the listener, but we tend to make the effects a bit loud in videos to ensure people hear them. In practice, turning down the harmony voices so they sit just behind your lead voice can make them sound much more realistic.

[@wildroseclassc]

Just got the Harmony Singer 2. When I tried it onstage, I couldn’t get any volume on my guitar, even though it was full volume. If I turned up the volume on my mixer, my mic was way too loud… Any suggestions?

[@kiskadar69]

On the XLR output of the TC-Helicon Harmony Singer, the sound of a guitar plugged into INST IN never appears.

[@NoahJamesHittner]

Great video. Thanks!

[@nikolopapini2179]

Hi can You kindly clarify details with ground lift pls? i connected Helicon with mixer yamaha harmonies are ok but...It gives some humming sound is not clear (power noise ) i reduced gain as much as possible...but..hum is still there

[@tchelicon]

Nikolo Papini You'll want to set the gain as high as possible without clipping. Check this video for instructions: kzbin.info/www/bejne/p6KTcoKqlst8oNV7round hum can be helped by connecting all of your components to the same electrical outlet or power strip etc.

[@davidlambert7725]

Confused - hope you can clarify. I need a harmoniser that allows me to use it unaccompanied - not controlled by an instrument. Can I use the Harmony Singer simply as a stand alone vocal harmoniser?

[@tchelicon]

100%, but you won't have control of the key, it will just harmonize with whatever you are singing, pushing it up an octave or down an octave, etc... if you want a bit more choice on which key it harmonizes with, the H1 stompbox is a great manual harmonizer.

[@pipkin1865]

@@tchelicon Thanks for your response! Sounds good to me. Apologies for late reply.

[@tchelicon]

Hi Hallam, You could run the audio from your keyboard through the Harmony Singer as long as it's got good chordal information in it. If your keyboard has the ability to send 1/2 of the keyboard out one output (I'm thinking left hand for chords) then that would be ideal.

[@bato41823]

hello....i've got already this harmony pedal very nice easy to use...but i have one quistion...is it ok to use 9 volt adaptor because i want to put or mix with the other pedal and in my pedal board....

[@tchelicon]

No, we don't recommend a 9V adapter with a 12V unit. It may work for a while, but the lower voltage puts stress on the internal components that could cause them to fail.

[@bato41823]

ok, thanks for the reply ....

[@tchelicon]

It should be available in North America by early May. Check with your dealer for details :)

[@maj27]

what i've noticed here is when you put the reverb to hall reverb the sounds of the guitar also plays hall reverb right? so how can you use this harmony singer only for vocals without affecting the guitar. So if i like to use my other distortion pedal how would that be??

[@tchelicon]

Hi J Allan, the guitar path is simply a thru. There's no electrical connection between the guitar and the vocal effects. The guitar sounds comes from the guitar, through the H.S. and then on to whatever guitar rig you have, including distortions or whatever. That's what Tom's doing. It comes out of the H.S.s and into a few TC-E pedals before hitting the amp you see miked int he background.

[@carlitos3000ful]

can i use this device with a uhf microphone ??

[@tchelicon]

You can plug the output from any wireless mic's receiver into the mic in of Harmony SInger. Just watch your gain staging. Here's a video on that: kzbin.info/www/bejne/p6KTcoKqlst8oNU

[@mrtwang52]

Great Job Man, Thank You

[@alaskankid2007]

Hi. Can I chain this to the Mic Mechanic 2 ? Because I want the pitch correction of the Mic Mechanic.

[@tchelicon]

We don't typically recommend chaining those products together since they both contain effects in a specific internal order that don't really work out when used in series. I'd suggest something like a C1 VoiceTone Single in front of the HS to get correction on the way in.

[@strangescribe1]

Just ordered one of these babies to beef up my acoustic performance. Looking forward to being able to perform Eagles and Beatles so much better. I'm using this at the next open mike night a the local pub. Hopefully a few jaws are going to drop if it sounds as good as I hope its going to.

[@benjiswafford1926]

I fingerpick a lot - will this pedal be able to determine the proper harmony for the songs that involve only finger-picked chord progressions? Thanks!

[@tchelicon]

+Benji Swafford It's definitely more susceptible to errors when you're finger picking. Essentially it needs to hear root third and fifth type stuff fairly close together to make a good guess at the underlying chord. Might be worth grabbing one from a place you can easily return it and give it a go yourself, since it's such an individual experience to see if it works as you hope it might.

[@bojanblazic2993]

I'm using powermate with phantom power on my mic. Is it OK to plug the mic into mix after tc-helicon whose got phantom power?

[@tchelicon]

jason stuck Heya Jason. Answered over on Facebook. facebook.com/tchelicon/

[@AngelAndTheWolf]

OK, let me try this: 1) If I play a "C", "E", and "G" chord, and sing a "D", will the vocal output be my "D", plus an "E" and" G" harmony, or will it be my "D", plus an "Gb", and an "A"? 2) Is it possible to choose ONE major chord, and ONE minor chord, and use those two for any molody harmonies, or does the pedal need the appropriately pitched major chord? 3) I have an autoharp I'm considering turning into a single key six chord form (Major, Minor, Sus 2, Sus 4, Augmented, Diminished) non-through controller for A Cappella harmonies. Does the pedal consider actual pitches, or just intervals?

[@tchelicon]

AngelAndTheWolf Here's a link to our scale chart. It might give you some insight into how the output decisions are made. support.tc-helicon.com/entries/21051886-Scale-chart-for-TC-Helicon-products

Great demo very useful. cheers fae Bonnie Scotland

[@IZNOIZNOGROOVIN]

Hi, I need to know if i can use a pad system vs guitare playing music ( drums + keyboard melody with chords associated in the loop) so music in fact.... thanks

[@tchelicon]

If you feed audio instead of guitar into the Harmony Singer it'll work the same as long as it can hear clear chords in the music :)

[@Norrygan]

Hi, I´ll buy a VoiceLive Play GTX or Harmony Singer, but I'm in doubt. I want to use my pedals with my guitar and VoiceLive Play GTX only to my voice. Could this feature "VoiceLive Play GTX listens to the Guitar input to set key automatically" still work to my voice?

[@AntiAddick]

Does it work when you are just not playing the guitar at the time of singing? Eg sometimes rhythm guitar only plays in chorus for more power (in rock). And what happens if you play a chord out of key by mistake, does it screw up the harmony?

[@tchelicon]

When you're not playing guitar the unit will be in the key/scale of the last chord you did play. That can work for a while if the chords in the song are complimentary, but it's best to be playing all the time. If you play an incorrect chord, the harmonies follow that chord.

[@AntiAddick]

ok thanks

[@monkeyvibesadventure3966]

Can you still use the harmony without guitar connected just for the vocals

[@tchelicon]

Not for Harmony Singer. We need something with chord information coming into the instrument input to determine key/scale. Some other products allow manual key/scale selection.

[@maradacash7532]

I have a vocalizer 4 and it seems to distort the harmonies. Do you have similar problems VL at higher volumes.

[@tchelicon]

Hi Marada, it all depends on your input volume. If you aren't clipping at the mic-pre, the harmonies shouldn't clip either. Just pay attention to the LED and make sure you're seeing green/yellow most of the time, but never red.
