µMod

µMod, pronounced “micro mod” contains effects that chorus, flange or otherwise modulate the signal. These effects can range from subtle to extreme.

Delay

Also known as Echo, delay repeats the input sound in various ways, from single “taps” to multiple panned asynchronous repeats. Often, delay is mistaken for reverb in a song. It’s typical in a recording to use a small amount of both delay and reverb to create the desired spatial effect.

Reverb

Short for Reverberation, reverb simulates an acoustic space like a concert hall or a bathroom. Typically, slower songs use longer reverb and faster songs use shorter reverb.

Harmony

Likely the most popular and impressive of our effects suite, Harmony creates up to 8 voices of harmony (varies by product), based on your vocal input and surrounds you with professional sounding backup singers. Once you’ve added harmony to your performance, we think you’ll never want to sing without it.

Double

Doubling creates an effect that makes your voice sound “larger” in the mix. It’s an extremely popular effect in a wide variety of musical styles from Pop to Hip-Hop and everything in between.

Transducer

Any effect that provides overdrive, distortion or filter falls under Transducer effects. You’ll find effects like Megaphone, Radio, Amplifier Emulation and more here. Always take care when using transducer effects in a live situation. Due to the extreme gains and eq’s imparted on the signal, these effects are very prone to feedback.

Rhythm

Remember Max Headroom from the 80’s with his stutter-y, jerky speech patterns? That’s the kind of effect you can re-create with the Rhythmic effect. You can chop and cut your voice to create very interesting patterns and repeats. There’s also a sampler available to take a tiny slice of vocals and put it through the wringer. Rhythmic is the kind of effect that, when used sparingly, can have a huge wow factor in a performance.

Hard Tune

Some people know it as the Cher or T-Pain effect. We call it Hard Tune. It’s a very aggressive form of pitch correction that forces the voice to “jump” from one note to the next in an almost robotic way. The effect works the best when confined to a set scale, where the intervals between notes are more noticeable. To get the most out of the effect, you’ll need to adapt your singing style to help accentuate the way that your voice shifts from note to note. Try sliding between notes.

Harmony - Any Way You Want

Create up to four part harmonies instantly. Don’t worry about setting the key - TOUCH 2 can listen to the chords from MIDI, from your room using its RoomSense mics, or plug in a guitar. Customize your sound from realistic 3rd above to synthetic multi voice choirs.

Practice Your Favorite Tracks With Vocal Cancel

Singing along is a great way to practice and perform. Plug in your MP3 player via the AUX In connector and use the Vocal Cancel feature to make your voice stand out over the vocals on the original track. Record and play back your singing using the USB connection to your computer and DAW.

Under the Looping Hood

Looping on VOICELIVE TOUCH 2 is instant action, quick access and do-it-now oriented while offering extensive creative control of independent loop tracks. The addition of loop-specific FX, makes the looper in VOICELIVE TOUCH 2 the most versatile and exciting power tool in the VoiceLive series.

Six Track Powerhouse

Having up to six independent tracks for looping allows you to fire on all vocal cylinders and play your voice like an instrument, muting and unmuting tracks on the fly for cool intensity shifts – or triggering each sample as Shots, creating drum & bass like effects, vocal mash-ups, or playing your vocals back like synthesizer samples.

Make It a Hit

HIT is a performance-inspired feature for building intensity into any vocal performance. Every preset gains an A/B function via
the HIT button – press to add dazzling effects for the chorus, or strip it down for the verse, you decide.

It Has Ears

VOICELIVE TOUCH 2’s embedded stereo RoomSense mics can control your harmonies from instruments nearby, replace the cabled mic for headphone practice or add ambience to your headphone or in-ear monitor mix.

More FX Control With Stompbox Expansion

Add a Switch-3 or Switch-6 accessory pedal to extend your on-the-fly control. Assign any presets or custom combination of Guitar, Vocal effects - or even Looping. In fact, with Switch-6 you get full footswitch control of the onboard looper in addition to
breaking out features.

There are 16 midi channels available and a host of dedicated control commands for you to try, tweak, and set up automated vocal FX control with. Consult the manual for a complete rundown of MIDI CCs.

More Mic, More Control

Now you can control your vocal effects from a mic engineered for the sonic realities of modern vocal performance. Add the new
TC HELICON MP-76 with 4 assignable mic control buttons, the TC HELICON MP-75 or the Sennheiser e835 FX.
