TUNING
The Tuning parameter allows you to affect tiny pitch
adjustments to your harmony intervals to achieve Equal,
Just or Barbershop tuning. Each preset can have a
different value for TUNING.
Equal tuning is the “compromised” tuning standard that
instruments such as guitar and keyboards are designed
to produce. This tuning mode allows you to play and sing
in any key without completely retuning your instrument
for every chord. When your harmonies are set to this
mode, the harmony notes produced by VoiceLive 2 will
sound exactly in tune with the Equal-tuned instruments
you use for accompaniment.
Just tuning is what is known as “perfect” intonation
between your lead voice and harmony intervals. This
is the tuning that occurs when singers sing a cappella,
or without instruments. The pitches of major and
minor thirds, fifth intervals and others are brought into
exact mathematical symmetry with your lead voice by
introducing very small pitch shifts to the harmonies which
overcomes the slight “beating” of harmonics that occurs
with Equal tuning mode. Because of this, however, the
harmony intervals may sound infinitesimally out of tune
with your instrument.
Barbershop has the same tuning offsets as Just tuning
mode with one difference. Barbershop tuning uses
your singing voice
as the pitch reference where Just
intonation uses the root of the current chord played
via MIDI.
HARMONY EQ
The Harmony EQ settings are separate from the Global
TONE control. This allows customizing of the EQ of the
Harmony and Double voices separately from the lead.
For a description of the EQ controls, see the Global
TONE parameter description when MANUAL is ON.
LEAD LEVEL
Controls the lead (dry + Tone) voice level when
the individual effect is turned on with its respective
footswitch. This allows a unique wet/dry mix for
individual effects. When multiple effects are active, the
lowest LEAD LEVEL value will determine the value.
