VoiceLive Play GTX video manual - Part 1

[@raven_zoe]

I love this guy. Finally someone explaining gear that is easy to understand and charismatic.

[@JustAlliance]

Mine just arrived in the mail 20 mins ago!!! So excited!!

[@0713mas]

@paivlar I asked this question to TC helicon, the answer I go was. Yes, the vocal effects will work when you have the guitar in the through/ bypass guitar effects 1/4" input. Pitch correction harmony will not detect from your instrument if you do not use the guitar effects input, but you can set the pitch correction and harmony for the key you want to sing in ahead of time. Not sure if the room sense mics will work in that situation? You can also input separatly to a 1/8" aux for that.

[@agentwright007]

I really wish the guitar thru would allow the guitar effects to be applied while still passing the signal to my amp or pedals. This would allow me to save a ton of money in effects by using the ones that are on the GTX.

[@williepure2474]

Is it possible to connect an external volume pedal to control the harmony gain since there's an input socket for pedal on the unit? Thanks in advance for the quick reply and advice, it's very much appreciated!!! 😊

[@0713mas]

I didn't think the pitch read for harmonies worked in through mode? I can say that I have downloaded the no amp bank presets & that did help with my acoustic. I just put an LR baggs M1 active on my Taylor & it sounds amazing through the VLP GTX. So if you have an old under saddle piezo passive in a G series takamine it doesn't make it sound 10xs better like some preamps will. but is still a usable acoustic sounding signal.

[@tchelicon]

Heya, yep there's a part 2 available. Not sure why the KZbin suggestions isn't showing it. I put a link in the comments.

[@bobisonline]

I have the GTX and only have been using it for vocal. Starting to investigate the guitar settings. Wondering about the silver model "Electric" ? Which one was out first? How different is the Electric? Seems it has more adjustment for the guitar settings.

[@hydraulics]

anyone else having noise gate issues? When I have any effects on (and even when I don't), my mic picks up drums and my guitar amps (which are behind me obviously) and the effects bleed through the PA loudly. I tried the tone settings but nothing strong enough to gate this stuff out in a small venue. Looking for a microphone gate pedal to put between my mic and the input of the GTX but can't find anything.

[@MoriahWoods]

Hi TC Helicon guys! I have been trying to find an answer for the tap tempo. And nothing's coming up so I'm going to try to ask here... I am trying to get my device to save below 45 bpms. I can tap tempo 35 bpms for a very slow vocal delay. But once I switch between effects and I go back it always reverts back to 45 bpms. Is there any way to override this? Thank you in advance for your help! All the best, Moriah

[@SenieHuntMusic]

Can you explain more about the guitar out 1/4??? I can’t get a signal out it

[@FUSIONGRUPERAOFICIAL]

Hi! great product, please can you tell me how can i turn on/off my GTX? there is no button to press, thanks

[@tchelicon]

Hi Luis,The Play GTX is designed to have it's cord unplugged to power off.

[@waynemiller6070]

Looks like this one has been discontinued. Too bad. Looks like a really good product. I was thinking about selling my hd500 and getting rid of my mixer and just using this. Anything else like this available for an affordable price?

[@tchelicon]

GTX is indeed discontinued. We have Play Acoustic and Play Electric that are very similar to GTX, but neither have a MIDI input. www.tc-helicon.com/Categories/Tchelicon/Vocal/Multi-Effects/PLAY-ACOUSTIC/p/P0CDJ www.tc-helicon.com/Categories/Tchelicon/Vocal/Multi-Effects/PLAY-ELECTRIC/p/P0CDK

When connecting guitar to midi thro, do I use xlr out to amp or multi effects?

[@RicolinoWinter]

So why the GTX has not a Guitar Octaving Effekt?

[@andersonsantiago01]

Hello! When I put the effect on voice and push the button Hit, gives a lot of feedback and I can not increase the volume because it beeps a lot when I'm not singing. How to adjust for the effect voice and I can improve? Where the gate is for the purpose of voice?

[@SrTubular]

Tuner option looks great, very clear.

[@Macaasss]

Hello :) I´m trying to connect my VoiceLive Play GTX with a microphone to the computer through a USB. However, my computer it does not recognizes it as a microphone device.... What should I do?

Hello I would like to know if there is any preset settings or possible effects on the gtx to mimic the sound of a voice synthesizer keyboard. I wish I could play the guitar accompaniment while singing the notes making the sound synthesizer. It's possible?

[@tchelicon]

Hmm, you might want to try using a combination of HardTune (pop style) and one of the Transducer settings that gives you distortion. Also, uMod with Flanger etc. can add some interesting bits and pieces.

[@stoney_703]

I was intending on using this pedal for my vocals and looping. Can I loop with my separate effects pedal?(octave for a bass line etc) I know that effects from voice live wont work with your amp but can i still loop? seems like I cant...help?!!?

[@MoriahWoods]

Hey tc helicon! I'm wondering how to obtain the least digital sound possible... It seems there is always a harmony or dual vocal sound regardless of all effects being checked and In the off position. I like reverb so I'll leave this on... And still it sounds digitalized.. Or harmonized... Is this avoidable? Thank you!

[@tchelicon]

Try heading into the setup menu and turn Pitch Cor Amt to 0/off. You may have global pitch correction enable which can give a slightly phased sound to the singer (not the audience). Here's a video about that phenomenon: music-group.force.com/musickb/view?name=tch&id=kA028000000NCLfCAO

[@MoriahWoods]

TC-Helicon I'll give it a try! thank you for the quick response

OK To Save your presets you hit the Store botton 2 times Yes ?

[@easyjohnny4320]

Hi Craig, I bought this one last month and am still looking for a carrying hardcase for it. What do you recommend? Thanks!

[@tchelicon]

Heya Tito, hmm I've seen some people get gun cases to carry their VoiceLive 2/3. Perhaps a handgun case would work for Play GTX? Or maybe a case for some sort of power tool like a drill?

[@fmcft]

Hello Craig, Maybe this is a stupid question. I bougth the voiceLive Play GTX yesterday, but I hadn't my mic, so I was trying only with the guitar. It's mandatory to connect the microphone first and after the guitar?

[@tchelicon]

***** Hi Fabio, if you don't have a mic, you can set the SETUP --> INPUT to RoomSense and use the built in mics to feed the vocal effects. You can only do that with headphones on, since it'd create feedback through speakers.If you just want to play guitar though it, you can do that too. You don't HAVE to connect a mic.

[@mikesharpsongs]

Will a Digitech FSX3 footswitch work in place of a TC Helicon external footswitch controller?

[@tchelicon]

Weeelllll we'd definitely recommend our own switch 3/6 options, but yes the Digitech FSX3 will work :-)

[@DavidMario5]

can i only use it somethings just for singing with out having to play or have a guitar plugged into it ?

[@jerseystringer]

Maybe this is a stupid question, or I just missed the point, but if using the "Inst Thru" does nothing with the guitar signal, WHY plug into the GTX input at all? Why not go direct to my guitar effects or front end of the amp? In other words, what's the point of the "thru" other than as cable extender?

[@joeshmoe9734]

Because the GTX uses your guitar signal to determine the pitch of pitch correction and vocal harmonies.

[@crumpmakecountrygreatagain425]

Does this thing automatically fix the volume so you don't change tones and it screams at you? Even if not I can save it and theirs no way it could change cause it's digital correct?

[@kiskadar69]

The "Tone Style" global parameter lets you apply adaptive EQ, compressor and gate to your vocal. See page 10 of the "TC-Helicon VoiceLive Play GTX User's Manual".

[@scottschreiber9832]

Hi Craig, Just got my VLP GTX great unit. But when I try and use the thru function with my guitar I get a buzz on my amp. I have tried changing out cables that didn't seem to make a difference. I usually go wireless, but even when I direct wired in I still had the buzz (No buzz without the pedal). Any thoughts on what could be causing it?. Thanks, Scott

[@samsschool3639]

Hi I know i'm like 10 years late but can you record "clean vocal harmonies" without the guitar signal but still use the guitar to guide the autotune?

[@kiskadar69]

If you just want to hear vocal harmonies, do the following: 1. Make a preset with only the Harmony effect turned on (turn off all other effects) and 2. For global settings, set the LEAD MUTE parameter to ON and 3. Use the INST THRU output so that the guitar sound is not output from the XLR output.

[@amplificarcosas2429]

My pedal from the box goes to preset 31 then jumps to 201 with th up button... how can I check number 1? IS THIS NORMAL? if I store a sound it allows me to then store it in patch 1 for example and now all of the sudden it is available. WHY???????

[@spartacus1988]

Italian translation: hello I wanted to ask: I have a question for the outputs outputs left and right of the voice and its connection to the mixer in-line microphone do not know if I have to connect both L & R THE LINE TYPE: 1 E2 MIXER or as I have heard say enough a canon only left or right and put qualsivoglie, and set mono or DualMono ... and the result is the same ... I have always said that then wanting to keep the other output is possible for a monitor to return ... all right ? thanks

[@billybassboy]

I'm going in to try these on Monday, but just to double check the GTX has everything that the Voiceplay live has doesn't it? I mean it is the same unit but with the addition of the guitar fx? I ask because I love what I've seen of the Voiceplay live and I wouldn't want to lose any of those features. Many thanks.

[@tchelicon]

Yep that's correct Bill :)

[@billybassboy]

TC-Helicon Thanks for the reply. I bought it and I am loving it!

[@Rob919Gore]

Is there anyway you can use just the vocal effects from the song and not the guitar effects?

[@tchelicon]

Rob Matthews Sure, you can use the guitar IN/THRU to have the unit "listen" to the guitar chords but not process audio at all. It just passes the dry guitar right through the unit.

[@Rob919Gore]

Thanks!

[@Rob919Gore]

Any way I can work the Rockabilly Slap at the same time with a 3rd above harmony on the vocals??

[@tchelicon]

Rob Matthews Sure, just go into the Rockabilly Slap preset and edit the Harmony block to have "High" as the harmony voice. I'd probably set the Control to HIT (and make sure the Slap is set to ON), so that you can have the slap on all the time and the harmonies come on with the HIT button.

[@iereh]

Hello! Tell me where to find a common noise threshold microphone tc helicon voicelive play gtx

[@tchelicon]

Hi there. Not sure what you mean by common noise threshold microphone? Do you mean a noise gate? If so, there's a subtle one built into the Tone section (in the setup menu) and a separate one in the Transducer block (press/hold a button on the Transducer edit screen to enter advanced settings).

Hi.I need your help. I am new holder of helicon and I don't have user manual in polish. I made a mistake and I ' ve scored my new settings on preset number 48. How to restore the previous preset? I would like to restore original preset nr 48 and not to loose my new presets on empty levels. Could you tell me STEP by STEP, how to do this? Thank you.

[@tchelicon]

+monika pazik The simplest way to restore a single preset is to use VoiceSupport. Download VoiceSupport here: www.tc-helicon.com/products/voicesupport/ Then, connect your device to your computer via USB. (the cable that came with the unit) Next install and launch VoiceSupport. Click on the Presets tab when VoiceSupport opens. Click on the big button in the middle of the screen. Find preset 48, click it with your mouse and press delete (on your keyboard). Last, press "Apply Changes". That will delete your messed up user preset and replace it with the factory preset for 48. Close VoiceSupport and then disconnect the USB cable. There is a way to reset ALL presets to factory on the unit during power up, but not just one. You'll need to use the VoiceSupport method for that.

[@stylzkeyz]

I really wanna know how to use midi note chord analysis from my Roland Fantom x to my Voicelive Play GtX. I cant find any vids that show you how to connect the midi and audio so that whatever chord I play on the keys the GTX will make the proper harmony adjustments. Help Please and thank you

I have a tube amp, and use a digitech rp-1000 in stompbox mode for effects. If I only want to use my voice live play gtx for vocals is there a way to bypass all the guitar effects so I am not mixing the voice lives internal modeling amps and effects into my other guitar mix?

[@tchelicon]

Absolutely! There is a GUITAR THRU on the back which bypasses all of our guitar effects :-)

[@HumbleHeartMinistry]

Well in that case I had it hooked up right to begin with! Thank you very much! :o)

[@rrpr1073]

Hi TC Electronics, I bought your Play Electric a few years ago, it was cool, basically because it completes my floor guitar system, and it helped me in the voice section, it is small and full of cool things, but I had a problem, I was dancing from my guitar pedal effects to the Helicon pedal, so I thought -would be great a midi input control in this little silver box. -Well then I found you had a product like that! the helicon play gtx, awesome! But it was discontinued!!! (bad new) Well I searched around the world and I finally found one in my country, someone was selling one almost new Helicon GTX, great! So now I have it, and it es GREAT! I'd love to show you my pedal board, it's the best. Well, all this history is to ask you one question: If I am governing the memories with the midi input, there is any possibility to use the up and down pedal for other functions? I mean, I know I can connect the switch 3 to get it, but I have two pedals I should be not using right? And the space is important to me. Thanks a lot for the patience for reading all of this!!! haha Ricardo from Ecuador.

[@tchelicon]

Hi Ricardo, We can't remap the footswitches in that product. They're always Preset Up/Dn and HIT. Sorry that I can't solve this one for you. :(

[@RP75]

TC-Helicon ok, well I think I can use your "pedal jack" terminals to connect it internally with the switches, it is gonna be fun, hardware solution is always an option, thanks for your answer dudes!

[@tchelicon]

Sheryl Rogers Dual Mono sends all the effected vocals out one XLR and all the effected guitars out the other XLR. That way, you get two mono signals at the FOH to blend together.

[@sherylrogers7642]

TC-Helicon cheers thank you .. it occurred to me after I wrote that I should run two cables out !!! sorry Blonde moment !! :-)

Can I plug this into the line in inputs on my focusrite Safire interface? I guess I would plug my guitar and my vocal mic into the pedal and then can I run the pedal into my interface and record and hear it through the interface with my in ear monitors?

[@tchelicon]

+Larry Tate Yep, that sounds right to me. Depending on how your interface handles live inputs, you can also plug your IEM's into the Play Electric if for some reason your interface is adding latency to the situation. Just be sure to gain stage the two units correctly. See this video for a guide and treat your interface as "the mixer" from the example: kzbin.info/www/bejne/p6KTcoKqlst8oNU

[@ricardoreyessoto7483]

May I combine it with other guitar effects? For example, with an other analog pedal.

[@tchelicon]

+Ricardo Reyes Soto You can, but you'll need to keep in mind that any effects you put prior to the guitar input can affect our ability to hear chords if it gets too distorted etc. Typically people choose to either use the onboard guitar effects or they use the IN/THRU to go out to a different guitar setup. The chords still get captured that way but the guitar sounds are muted in the GTX.

[@ricardoreyessoto7483]

I have a Korg AX300G Multieffect, and I like it cause I'm able to change the effect parameter (excuse me, my english is not well). I just can use the guitar preset effects, or may I change the parameters with this processor.

Hi Graig. I've been using TC Helicon VoiceLive 3 in different countries for about 5 yrs. Worked for me! Sold it in Ebay and planning to buy VoicePlay GTX. My question :Does Voice Play GTX have the same power-adapter like VoiceLive 3 have , which made it easy to use in Europe? Mati

[@tchelicon]

Mati Murumaa Hi Mati, do you mean VoiceLive 2? VL3 has only been out since Jan 2014. In any case, the adapter from a VL2 will work fine on a Play GTX, but not the other way around. The VL2 requires more amperage than the Play GTX so the GTX has a lower rated supply with it.

[@gkiss2030]

@@tchelicon Hello, which one has the overall best sound quality of the VoiceLive series, and where does GTX Play stand in this respect compared to VoiceLive Play?

[@Snapjaggery]

Great unit. I use this at every gig for different vocal reverbs and effects but unfortunately can't use the guitar sounds because of a latency. Throws your timing off. It's slight but it's enough to put you out of time. I use an acoustic. Anyone know why?

[@tchelicon]

+Tod Woodward There's always some latency since we're doing processing. We try to get it low enough that it's not noticeable at close range. As you move from your speaker/amp you add another 1ms per foot of travel time for the audio to get to your ears. If you can, move your amp closer to where you're standing/sitting and that can reduce the "feel" to a more comfortable amount. If you use headphones/IEM's that will reduce it further.

[@Snapjaggery]

Great, thanks for your response. Love TC Helicon :-)

Hello! I do beatbox and play guitar at the same time live,and i want something with mic line and guitar line but i dont want the two things in the same amp,it is possible to send the mic line to one amp and the guitar line to other amp?

[@tchelicon]

Miguel Corral González Yep, the output mode called Dual Mono will send effected vocals out one XLR and effected guitars out the other.

[@maicorral]

TC-Helicon And if i want to loop the two things it is possible to hear each one separately? The beatbox in my Roland amp and the guitar in my Fender Amp

[@tchelicon]

Miguel Corral González If you're in dual mono mode when you record the loop, the vocal and guitar parts will remain separate and go out the same XLR's that the live parts do.

[@wagnerrodrigues]

how could i use this in a stereo guitar rig ? i´d like to send the guitar to two different amps, in addition to voice to my monitor and FOH

[@tchelicon]

There isn't a way, as far as I know, to send both stereo guitar signals and vocals separated out. You can send mono guitar/voice OR stereo mix of vox/guitar. VL3 can do both.

[@Chiefit]

1.Hey TC Helicon I bought the GTX Live over a year ago. I am a keyboard player. I have been running my keyboard through the bypass however i noticed i've not been able to use the looper in this way.

I screwed up some setting and want to know how to reset individual voice settings. Such as to much reverb or auto tune is jacked. How to reset it back. Thanks

[@tchelicon]

Heya B, 1. When you use the in/thru, the sounds are muted inside the unit. This is intentional because the thru is designed to go from a guitar to their pedals/amp and you wouldn't want to double up the sounds. In your case, I'd try using the Aux input for the keys. You can loop that and it's in stereo. 2. If you want to reset the presets all at once, there's instructions in the manual. If I recall correctly, you hold the left and right arrow buttons (next to the control knob) when you power up the unit. This will reset ALL presets back to factory and remove any that weren't in the factory bank. Just a warning!

[@Chiefit]

1.So theres not a setting to bypass the guitar effects/sounds or just play the "guitar" dry or in my case keyboard dry? And by using the aux you're suggestion a quarter inch to 3mm adapter. 2. I have not been able to connect my TC helicon to my computer which i'm trying right now to update my GTX. I did it once with my PC, but it will not recognize it on my mac. Currently I have firmware 1.2.10 B60

[@tchelicon]

1. Yeah, if you connect the thru, all internal guitar effects/sounds are muted. Another option is to set the Global Guitar FX ON in the setup menu, which locks all presets to one guitar sound. Then, you'd go into the guitar effects section and turn everything off, amp, effects, etc. You'd then get a keyboard sound into the unit that isn't being affected by the guitar processing. Only difference in that setup is that your keys output comes out the GTX, so you'd have to sort out how you want it mixed with your vocals. (Dual Mono is available to have two separate mono signals) It would let you do the looping that way. 2. There's a fairly large guide for issues surrounding VoiceSupport connections, since computers vary so wildly. First, make sure you're using VoiceSupport 2 www.tc-helicon.com/products/voicesupport/ Then, refer to this guide: support.tc-helicon.com/entries/21014742-VoiceSupport-Can-t-connect-update-device

[@spartacus1988]

question: why is the blue voicelive compatible with the MP-76 microphone, and the gtx play that has the same system and voice software is not compatible? I understand that it is a question of the market, or the same that has made the gtx too versatile and similar to other pedals was removed from the market unlike older and less versatile pedals that are still with you and have constant delays .. I repeat, I understand the business, but can you make an update for those tied to this pedal so uncomfortable for you? you can do an update for this microphone as you did for the blue voicelive. and make updates. We are users too, not second class. It is correct that we are followed or not abandoned, as you do with the older pedals that still have your support .thank you

[@kiskadar69]

[@SuperAjej]

Im trying to run my beatbuddy to my gtx voicelive play with midi , does it work?

[@tchelicon]

Play GTX can't respond to MIDI tempo input, sorry! You're basically missing out on tempo being set for the delay, but you can still tap that in or save it to the preset. Since vocal/guitar echo taps start when you make sound, as long as the BB and the GTX are set to the same tempo and you sing/play on time, it should sound pretty lined up.

[@Unplugged704]

Is there a way to add compression in the GTX?

[@tchelicon]

Guitar or vocal compression? There is a compressor block in the guitar section. For vocals, it's contained in "tone", which does have an option for "more comp". That's in the setup menu.

i recently purchased a TC Helicon play electric and I'm devastated to find out it has a Mayor deficiency, a popping sound, static and it crashes always and sometimes it doesn't even start! i look this up thinking the mail service dropped it or whatever but now i see its something that happens to most play electric and acoustics... now people tell me to buy the Gtx... anyone has a Gtx and can tell me if it has something as bad as a play electric?

[@tchelicon]

+Foxuniverso It's definitely not common to have pops, static, clicks or crashes. We have had a couple of firmware fixes in the various Play products for that type of thing though, so make sure you're on the latest firmware.

[@Foxuniverso]

+TC-Helicon i googled for fixes and i found nothing :/ which is a shame cos i returned it xD i guess ill try buy one again next year...

[@czeital]

My voicelive is contented crashing and causing issues - the band want me to stop using it but I do like to have harmonies

[@dkkrecords]

love the product. have been using for years...problem...''guitar thru'' has never worked. ...i never really worried too much but now it's becoming an issue. any thoughts from anyone out there who would like to help out.

[@tchelicon]

Heya, can you explain a bit more about how it's not working? It should be hardwired to the guitar input right in the jack itself.

[@dkkrecords]

absolutely. thanks for getting back to me....if possible i hope we can get an answer within 72 hours. (doing a show friday night my time....friday morning east coast time).....the jack from the guitar instead of into input goes straight into 'thru'..but once it does....'no guitar sound'.....for a few years...(i was always using the patches from gtx) i didn't worry about it..but i use the vocal harmonies heaps...and wanted to get a slightly different sound from the guitars i was using.....but once it goes to thru...there's no sound being sent to the pa, mixing desk etc......i figured it had to be hardwired and was a no brainer....but it's not working.....any thoughts on this?......like i said ...thanks for getting back to me....

That's actually the intended use of the Thru on all of our products. The intent of the thru is that you're not using the signal processing in the TCH gear, but rather going out to pedals/amp, multi-effect etc. of your choice. The purpose in that case of the in/thru for us is that we "capture" dry guitar chords to use for harmony key/scale before the signal goes "thru" to your other guitar setup. If you still want to use an external amp, but also want to use the effects from the GTX, I'd suggest putting the unit in "dual mono" output mode (1 vocal and 1 guitar output), turn off "Speaker Sim" in the setup menu of the GTX and then use an impedance matching XLR to 1/4" cable to get from the GTX to your amp. That way, all the effects like reverb etc. are still used from the GTX, but the amp provides the sound of the speaker. You can decide whether to use distortion on your amp or in the GTX, depending on what you like better. If you decide to use your amp's distortion, some people find that using an FX loop on the amp (if there is one) is a better way to go signal path wise. You'd go into your amp, out of the FX loop into the GTX guitar input, then back to the FX loop return on the amp, still using the impedance matching XLR to 1/4 cable for that part. Hope that helps and gives you a few options to try!

I am using VoiceLive Play GTX friends. say it is a fine singing voice diiiiiitttttt microphone. How can fix this problem?

[@MoriahWoods]

Hello Tc Electronics. I've been learning the Gtx, I've had it for a few months now, at first it seemed great, clear and without interference, however, recently as I've been singing I've begun to hear strange glitches and hiccups in the line, especially when hitting higher notes. As well as some line interferences, it isn't so clear and powerful, like going through a clear line. Could this be the result of some wrong settings? Or could it be a computer defect? Thank You for your help.

[@tchelicon]

Is it harmony voices that are making incorrect note choices from time to time or is it the overall output sound of the unit?

[@MoriahWoods]

TC-Helicon it is the over all sound output, it happens the same between the 3 tweaked presets that I'm currently using. I'll be singing, and suddenly a very brief warped glitchy sound will Interfere. However it never alters the acoustic guitar sound. I had it hooked up before my last gig, the sound engineer suggested I disconnect it entirely as it was creating "noise" in the line. After removing it from the line I could clearly hear the difference...

[@czeital]

Did you get a reply / solution to this ?

[@libuazkowdiar5584]

How we arrange looping,,,,,,, anybody help me

[@homerdus9668]

Can somehow just a make a demo while playing and singing and showing presents on video corner

[@kiskadar69]

VoiceLive Play GTX has the same vocal effects as VoiceLive Play (blue). Check out the following on KZbin: "VoiceLive Play video manual - Part 1" "VoiceLive Play video manual - Part 2" "VoiceLive Play video manual - Part 3"

[@johndavemoscosa1281]

Can I plug this to irig pre?

[@tchelicon]

Sure can. Just watch gain staging on the iRig. The incoming signal will be hotter than a normal mic input since it's already preamped inside the Play GTX.

[@VideoNash]

thanks

[@SilverSpike777]

Hello, does TC Helicon have a drum pedal/machine similar to the upcoming BeatBuddy? See kzbin.info/www/bejne/qZOtd4GVqbZmbK8. It will be great if TC Helicon can include/incorporate it on this VoiceLife Play GTX that will also include a separate software to pre record/sequence the rhythms on a computer then save them on a mini SD for the drum pedal to use. And maybe adding more foot switches on the Play GTX to control the drum pedal (like fill rolls, end rolls, breaks, or any additional percussion). This will then be the "ultimate one man band gear". Cheers!

[@candymintz]

nice piece of equipment and well demo'd

[@chg5802]

한국말 버전있었으면 좋겠다~너무어려워

[@gregmetz7537]

I appreciate this but it jumps around too quickly for beginner who just got VLP GTX. One thing at a time - be systematic. Let the instructor dude talk and guitar dude just demonstrate.

[@miraclej3]

I'm sorry this product, because there is no support in Japanese

[@Meek4Weeks]

The higher harmonies on this pedal are ALWAYS female and the lower ones are ALWAYS male. So if you want higher harmony and your a man, it has to be a woman's voice. And it sounds like an alien.

[@tchelicon]

meek weeks The higher voices are not specifically male or female. They're direct shifts from your own voice. By nature of shifting the pitch, things are recognized as more male or female based on our perception of voices in those ranges. Some of our products, like VoiceLive 3, have a gender option per-voice that you can use to raise or lower the gender of the shifts to sound a bit more realistic, within reason. Also, keep in mind that any time you shift to a very high or low note, it'll sound less realistic because the shift amount is greater.

[@Meek4Weeks]

When I choose "Octave Up" for instance it has a picture of a women's silhouette. If I choose anything lower (e.g. low, lower, ocave down) it shows a picture of a man.

[@tchelicon]

meek weeks We used male and female graphical representations because we felt people would relate to them better than some sort of other picture for octave up.

[@Meek4Weeks]

I will listen again with a fresh perspective. Thanks so much for the info!

[@DahoodShaheed]

wish these demo guys would just shut up and let us hear things

[@tchelicon]

In a video manual, the emphasis is on showing people how to use the unit, not demonstrate all the sounds. You might like this vid for more demo style stuff: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qZamf4uwj7KkmK8

[@jamesjumpin5873]

When will TC Electronics dump Tom Lange? It makes you not want to buy the thing fearing you will be a sqaure, lounge, crap song writer. No one on earth is as interruptive and smarmy. Just sucks. Very unlikable. Does the product no justice.

[@tchelicon]

Sorry that you feel that way. We like Tom and so do many others. At least Tom doesn't come in the box with the product, so you can use it the way you want to ;)

[@officialWWM]

Harsh. Unnecessary.

[@carlitos3000ful]

Can I use this device with mp75 microphone ?

[@kiskadar69]

Yes, you can.
