• SHIFT - Many doubling presets that also use
the Harmony block are based on this mode.
SHIFT allows you to pick pitch shift inter
-
vals that fall outside of the standard “musical
harmony” definition and as such, require no
musical input from you.
• MIDI NOTES - Allows you to specify exact
melodies and chords as harmony pitches from
a MIDI keyboard or sequencer. A MIDI note
held during a sung arpeggio will not move until
the note is changed. As well, a single, sus-
tained input note from you can have a moving
harmony arpeggio by playing it on a keyboard.
This mode is for people who want to arrange
their harmony vocals exactly and have key-
board playing skills. When set to NOTES, the
Harmony DOUBLING parameter determines
interesting layering of the 8 available harmony
voices.
• MIDI NOTES 4 CHAN - This is the same as
MIDI NOTES mode with the difference that
each of the four harmony voices has its own
MIDI channel. This is best when you want the
harmony voices to have fixed pan positions
and MIDI pitch bend movement.
for any signal to get to the effect block when

This parameter defines how VoiceLive Rack
derives the musical information that makes the
Harmony voices and Hardtune effects follow your
song musically. The most common value for this
is AUTO INPUT SENSE which automatically de
-
cides which of the GUITAR IN, MIDI IN and AUX
IN you are currently playing into so it can derive
musically correct effects. Changing the value of
this parameter changes the number and organiza
-
tion of settings in the HARMONY tab. The values
are described below:
• AUTO INPUT SENSE - Most harmony presets
are based on this mode. This mode automati
-
cally decides which of the GUITAR IN, MIDI
IN and AUX IN you are currently playing so it
can derive musically correct harmonies from
that input.
• GUITAR - This forces the current preset to
look only to the GUITAR IN for musical input.
In the case where you have a MIDI sequencer
and guitar into VoiceLive Rack, this will cause it
to ignore the MIDI input for harmony control.
• MIDI - This forces the current preset to look
only to the MIDI IN for musical input. In the
case where you have a MIDI sequencer and
guitar into VoiceLive Rack, this will cause it to
ignore the guitar input.
• AUX INPUT - Harmonies will ignore all but
this input if the other inputs are used simulta-
neously.
• SCALE - Changes the preset to scale mode
which will ignore ongoing musical input from
an instrument in favour of the Key and Scale
setting you need to input. Scale harmonies are
a great alternative to instrument-controlled
harmony for certain songs.
