Harmony Singer is a professional multi-effects unit that operates with the simplicity of a guitar stomp box offering three key features: Guitar-controlled vocal harmony, Tone and Reverb. It is aimed at all guitarists wanting to add accurate backing vocals and pristine reverbs to their repertoire.
Vocal Harmony
With Harmony Singer, users get up to two harmony voices guided directly by the In/Thru guitar connection. In effect, Harmony Singer is the perfect vocal arranger. It instantly analyzes the incoming guitar chords making sure that the harmonies are always in tune and on time. This frees up the user to experiment using harmonies with all sorts of key and chord arrangements.
Tone
One of the mainstays of any TC-Helicon product is Adaptive Tone, the combined workings of high-end EQ, Compression, De-essing, and Gating that automatically adapts to the user’s voice and vocal range. The Tone button on Harmony Singer can be toggled on or off, but when it’s on it ensures smooth dynamics and clear presence for any singer using it. It’s like having a personal sound engineer controlling the mix.
Reverb
Harmony Singer comes with three studio-quality Reverb types – Room, Club and Hall – with adjustable level control. Harking directly from the renowned lineage of reverb algorithms from TC Electronic, a sister company of TC-Helicon, the sound quality of Harmony Singer’s reverbs is guaranteed to please the ears of both pro and amateur guitarists alike.
Easy hook-up
Mirroring the simplicity of its interface, Harmony Singer is as easy to connect to the PA as a mic – and it connects to the guitar signal chain the same way as any other stomp box. The focus for Harmony Singer is to limit the time fiddling with settings and maximize the joy of playing, singing and sounding great.
In short, Harmony Singer is the guitarist’s vocal backup group and sound tech in one simple stomp box.
Tom Lang, Product Manager for TC-Helicon, comments: “At TC-Helicon we’re excited about offering Harmony Singer’s essential elements and simple controls to the hard working guitarist-singers out there. These days it’s hard to command attention, and we see clear, captivating vocals as an important asset. Corralling Tone, 3 Reverb types, 2 voices of vocal harmony and effects mixing into such a small package can only benefit those who seek to lighten the load while losing none of their impact. Our dream is that Harmony Singer will become as much a piece of essential kit as mics and guitars are to singing guitarists.”
