Vocal Harmony

[aitchty]

Has anyone used a Vocaliser with your Yamaha keyboard? My keyboards have MIC inputs but I would like to accompany myself with my voice in harmony, hence my need for a Vocaliser or Voice Processor such as one of the Helicon products. Any help or advice would be appreciated.

Hi Aitchty :

If you do not have a built in VH, you have to buy an external one.
No alternative.

Helicon seems to be an excellent option, IMO.

Best wishes, JH

You've posted this in the genos section.

What keyboard do you have? You do realise the genos has a built in vocal harmony processor.....?

True but like the organs and pianos, it's not very good 😬. To be fair, as a background harmonizer it works well. For lead singing, no 👎.

I think the VH2 harmony processor worked well enough here on my Bohemian Rhapsody demo:

The thing is, the Genos one (which is identical) needs to be implemented to match your playing (I changed the harmony type 7 times in this demo), but also, with OS 2.0-2.12. there was a weird glitch where it didn't track harmony well at all unless the gain was very high; they fixed it with v.213

I used to work *before* OS 2.0, exactly as per my demo.
