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
