(You can plug a keyboard into it instead of guitar, even though not in the specs) or get the Digitach Live Pro for a little more cash)Īnd to add even further fairness, the new $800.00 TC Helicon VoiceLive 2 Vocal Floor Processor does not have good sounding Choirs IMHO and I was not impressed by the demos of it either. I got mine on sale for less than $400.00.I see some on ebay for $369.00 right now.Īnd to be fair, it really is one of the most realistic out there at this time for 4 part harmonies. The Vocalist Live 4 also has good guitar effects to use with the Vocals at the same time. I love Roland and don't want to hurt their sales, but to make a $2000.00 board specializing in Vocals, it should be at least as good as the Digitech for harmonzing IMHO. Much more realistic sounding than the VP-770. I have the V-Synth GT also and am very happy with the Vocal Designer on it.Ĭhoirs sound great.better than the demos I heard of the VP-770 for some reason.Īs far as vocal harmonizing goes I get great results from the Digitech vocalist live 4.
#Digitech mv 5 midi vocalist review plus
It kinda bugs me to have 2 overly similar workstations (I already have an X8) but on the plus side I hope I won't start learning a new OS from scratch. So far i haven't met the seller so I cannot tell about any yet unknown unpleasant surprises (if this second hand G has any disfunctionalities I will certainly NOT buy it). I know you cannot find such thing each day but given the circumstances it's hard to beat the price (a G for a grand). The most attractive (price/performance) feature of the VP-770 is the included ARX-03 which it happens to be available on the G itself. After hearing all those demos I concluded that - although the VP is the best sounding backing vocal tool on the market at the moment - it is still not realistical enough to deserve almost 1000 euros for this feature alone. and I think I'll be better served by a G plus ARX-03 than buying a VP-770 istead. Although I've been on the brink on getting a VP, now I have the chance of getting a second-hand fantom G for only 1000 euros.
The 49 note keyboard makes sure that instruments are played in the respective "correct" position and so a mamoth "improvement".
Is the above possible? Or am I daydreaming? 'Cause if the latter is true then I might "switch" to a plain arranger with integrated vocal-backing effect processors. in the end I would have a both keyboards lower end playing together (accomp on arranger + auto-harmony on VP) while having independent upper section on both boards (let's say organ on the arranger upper part and brass on the VP upper part) I also hope the VP can receive midi messages on multiple midi channels (for instance the auto-harmony would take a diferent midi channel than the brass) because I want to trigger the auto-harmony from another keyboard (arranger) lower part while I want the upper part not to trigger any brass - which is to be played from the VP itself I hope I can split the keyboard the following way: (if the above is false then disregard the whole argument) I suppose the VP is able to create auto-harmony lines to the main vocal line (same as some high-end arrangers) provided there is a chord-recognition method onboard. The Vocalist Live 2 is the world’s first processor that automatically generates live multi-part vocal harmony by analyzing guitar chord progressions.Let's explain what's in my mind. Is there a processor for vocalist live 2?
