TC Electronic Intelligent Vocal Harmony Harmony4, Manual

Page: 15 / 21

dictate to Harmony4 what harmony notes you’d like to hear. Once a harmony
note, or notes are held down on your MIDI keyboard, or MIDI track, this is
where they will stay regardless of your changing vocal melody.
Shift mode shifts the pitch of the lead melody by a fixed interval. This is most
useful for doubling, special effects, or Gothic-sounding 5ths.
A Comparison of the Harmony Modes
The following table gives an overview of the plusses and minuses of each
harmony mode.
Getting Set Up
1. Prepare your DAW and PowerCore hardware for a new session. Turn on your
computer, run the host program and ensure that any external PowerCore unit(s)
are powered on.
2. Connect a MIDI keyboard to your computer and set your host program to
route the MIDI to Harmony4, or create a MIDI track in your host application.
3. Import an audio file containing a dry vocal performance into your session.
Notes concerning input files:
The vocal track driving Harmony4 can be mono, or stereo. In the case
of it being stereo, only the left channel send is sent to Harmony4. See the
Insert, or Auxiliary Send? note below for more information on mono/stereo.
There should be as little as possible pitched instrument, or other vocal
leakage onto the main vocal track. Increasing leakage compromises the
harmony quality.
