Creating Harmony
The sound of human voices singing together in harmony
adds excitement and intensity to music. VoicePro offers
you the ability to instantly experiment with different
harmony lines as well as to produce finished recorded
vocals.
Each harmony preset in VoicePro is based on one of five
different harmony modes you can use to add authentic
sounding virtual harmony voices to your mix. Offering more
than one Harmony Mode is necessary because, like a
human singer who has to hear an accompanying
instrument in order to sing in harmony, VoicePro needs
musical input. Each harmony mode provides an alternate
method for providing this musical input. From the relatively
"hands off" Scale Harmony Mode, to the completely "hands
on" Notes Mode, you can choose a range of methods to
balance the amount of moment-by-moment input, with the
resulting harmony sound you desire.
Term Description
Harmony Mode Method by which musical input is sent to
VoicePro.
Diatonic Refers to the tone structures in major
and minor scales. Knowledge of these
scale structures is the "intelligence"
VoicePro uses to produce automatic
harmony.
Interval The distance between two pitches
Notes Mode Fully manual harmony mode where notes
and chords performed on a MIDI
keyboard are used to select the fixed
harmony pitches independent of the pitch
of the sung note.
Notes 4Ch Mode A second Notes Mode where each note
is received on a different MIDI channel
from a sequencer program, enabling
unique pitch bends on each channel.
Chord Mode An intelligent harmony mode where a
sequence of chords played on a MIDI
keyboard are interpreted to produce
musically correct pitches that move
according to the pitch of the sung note.
Scale Mode An automatic harmony mode where you
set only the key and scale of your song.
Usually, no on-going musical input from a
keyboard is required.
Shift Mode This is the one non-intelligent harmony
mode where a fixed interval is set for
each harmony voice that is maintained
throughout the song.
Humanization Various methods by which VoicePro
introduces random variations to the
sound that mimic human deviations in
pitch and timing.
How to create harmony using a Notes Mode preset
1.Connect a MIDI keyboard to VoicePro (see Utility section
for MIDI details)
2.Navigate to the browser and set the Source Filter to
“Singing” and the Application Filter to “Harmony Notes”,
then select a preset using the Scroll Wheel and Ok
Button.
3.Perform a keyboard part of up to 4 simultaneous notes
while the source audio plays. Pitch Bend and MIDI
controllers can be used.
How to create harmony using a Notes 4CH Mode
preset
1.Connect the output of a MIDI sequencer to VoicePro (see
Utility section for MIDI details)
2.Navigate to the browser and set the Source Filter to
“Singing” and the Application Filter to “Harmony Notes
4CH”, then select a preset using the Scroll Wheel and
Ok Button.
3.Press “play” on the sequencer while the source audio
plays or while you sing in time with the MIDI tracks.
Notes 4 Channel Mode
The best way to benefit from this type of harmony
is to use a MIDI+Audio sequencer to send
synchronized MIDI and audio tracks to VoicePro.
First, record or import a vocal track into the
sequencer, then perform up to 4 different harmony
parts on separate MIDI channels in
synchronization with the vocal.
