Also, when you strum or play chords, there is a slight latency until the unit gets the information, processes it, and changes to provide the best guess harmonies. Although its greatly improved over earlier models, its not 100% accurate. I tried the MusicIQ on my new Vocalist when I first bought (before I connected a Midi cable and selected "Chordal" mode instead of MusicIQ). Some of the inherent problems with using a guitar and Music IQ is.what does the unit do when the guitar is not in good tune? If you strum chords to provide the data, Music IQ determines what notes you are playing and assumes what you want it to do. Using Midi data is much more accurate than using the MusicIQ technology that Digitech uses in their floor model stomp boxes for guitarists. I'm a KB players and use MIDI to send all the correct chord changes to my Digitech Vocalist Live PRO (rack mount). A few years ago, after listening to demos of the TC Helicon products, as well as the newer Digitech products, I liked the improvement in sound quality so much I decided to spring for something new.
I even bought a spare off EvilBay when the letters were wearing out on the front panel of my original after years of service.
I owned the original Digitech Vocalist VHM5 forever. This is a bit OT, but it is something else to consider. Although the purist musician/singer in me thinks this feature sucks, there's a new pitch correction control that helps the singer stay in tune (!) and keeps the harmonies in tune as well.īottom line: spend the extra $50 and buy a VL 3. * With the VL 2, singers had to be spot on pitch or the harmonies would track out of tune as well. * There's now chorus and reverb for the guitar, and you can actually use the VL 3 as your mixer in a solo vocal/guitar situation. * The effects were upgraded, with vocal EQ and a delay added.
Now there's footswitchable variety within songs, say from 2-part to 3-part, 2-part to octave or unison or. * There are 5 programmable memory locations, each with 2 harmony variations. * The harmonies sound more like real voices, they track better than the VL 2, and they give you gender control that offer some tonal variation in the harmony voices. I've been using the VL 2 pedal since it came out.
