Choir effect block / tab
Formerly a part of the Harmony effect block,
Choir was split into its own effect in the TC-Heli-
con VoiceLive Touch 2. Separating these effects
gave us the opportunity to provide more styles
and parameters for controlling the Choir sound.
We have defined Choir as its own effect block in
VL3X too, so you have extra control over the way
it sounds.
Choir makes a great companion to Harmony, es-
pecially when you are trying to create a “group”
sound. You can use Choir by itself too, which can
give its own unique flavor to the vocal.

The Choir effect block has the following parame-
ters that allow you to adjust the effect:
►
Choir Style

Tips and tricks for working
with the Choir effect
►
When using Choir with Harmony, start with a
low level setting and move up from there. Us-
ing too much Choir level can make the overall
output sound a bit robotic or “effected”.
►
With the above suggestion, keep in mind that
high levels of Choir can be used to create a
very pronounced effect sound – which could
be just what you want.
►
The “Speaking” style can be used with any
kind of Hip Hop, Rap, Spoken Word etc. to
add a sense of a group saying something to-
gether.
