Topic: VOICETONE harmony-G XT

I use an Ovation acoustic for live shows and a small keyboard.  Does anyone know if the 'harmony-G' will work for harmonies when I use my keyboard as well as the guitar.  I have an A-B box to switch from keyboard to guitar, but it would be nice to have one device for vocal harmonies......    Thanks!

Re: VOICETONE harmony-G XT

Hiya tesla22,

If you are looking to create harmonies from keyboard and guitar at seperate times on the same unit then it may be worth checking out the VoiceLive Touch or VoiceLive 2 as they will give you great results with both instruments. Also, the VoiceLive Touch and VoiceLive 2 have MIDI capabilities as well as the “Aux Input” which allows you to feed any stereo audio source to the unit for harmony generation.

The Harmony-G XT may work for the purpose you’ve described but we cannot guarantee results for a few reasons:

– You would only be able to send a mono signal to the instrument input of Harmony-G XT as opposed to your keyboards stereo output.
– The input impedance on the Harmony-G XT is specifically designed for guitar.

However, you can still use the Harmony-G XT in manual mode which allows you to set a key and scale for harmonies. This means that you don’t need to have an instrument connected at all.

Hope this helps!

Best wishes,

Joey

Joey;

Thanks for the feedback.  My keyboard is mono so that may not be an issue.  Also I can control the input from the volume pedal so the input impedance may not be an issue either.  Assuming these are resolved, my question is whether the Harmony-G XT will respond to the keyboard input to create the harmonies I seek, in the same way as the guitar would?  Some boxes will create harmonies from the notes played on the keyboard, will this one work that way?

Thanks!

Hiya tesla 22,

Seeing as the input impedance on the Harmony-G XT is specifically designed for guitar it may work with your keyboard but unfortunately I can't guarantee results.

I would definitely suggest that you try this out at a TC-Helicon dealer near you before purchase.

Best wishes,

Joey
