HARMONY BACKGROUND AND TIPS

A Comparison of the Harmony

Modes

The following table gives an overview of the plusses

and minuses of each harmony mode.

Which is the best harmony mode for

you?

From the chart above you can see which harmony

mode is likely to become your favorite. Shift is not

described as it’s not a true harmony mode.

“Are Chords presets the best for me?”

If you play keyboards, presets based on Chords are

likely to work best for you.You just select a preset with

the arrangement of intervals above or below your

voice and get down to playing your instrument.All you

do when you require harmony is to un-mute the

harmonies with the Harmony Mute function on your

footswitch and then play the chords in your song.

A new TC-Helicon feature has been added to

VoiceWorksPlus that greatly improves Chord mode

flexibility and it’s called “Improvise” mode.This is found

in the Setup menu (press the SETUP button) at menu

U2 and once set, it will affect all Chord harmony

presets. Improvise mode configures Chord mode

presets so that only 3 note chords will trigger a chord

change, instead of each note as is the case with

“Classic” mode.This allows you to play your keyboard

arrangements more naturally, allowing runs, bass riffs,

and chord partials while you sing and create harmony

simultaneously.

“Are Scale presets the best for me?”

If you are a guitar player in a live act, Scale mode will

work best because there is no requirement for

ongoing musical information during the song as there is

with the MIDI modes. All you do is set the Key and

Scale or load a preset you’ve saved with the song’s

information before you start your song.This only takes

a moment and then you can get on with playing. During

the song when you need harmony, you can use the

Harmony Mute button on your footswitch to turn

harmonies on and off. Some songs where the

combination of vocal melody and your music may

produce odd harmony notes may occur, but the songs

where you can create harmonies handsfree will

completely impress your audience.

“Are Combi presets for me?”

For someone who uses a sequencer to help with

backup music live or to at home to record their own

music, Combi mode can give you the excellent

combination of natural-sounding note to note

Harmony Mode Input Benefits Challenges

Scale Set Key and Scale of song Most natural sounding with mini-

mal input. Can be the fastest way

to produce harmony.

Diatonic harmony doesn't work

with all chord accompaniments.

Requires that you know how to

choose Key and Scale correctly

Chord Play chords on a MIDI keyboard Works for nearly every chord

change accompaniment.

Limited harmonic movement not

always most realistic sounding

Combi Set Key and Scale then use MIDI

chords where needed to correct

harmony/chord change errors

Optimal blend of natural sounding

Scale harmonies and Chord

mode arrangement flexibility

Requires that you know how to

choose Key and Scale correctly

Shift Set shift amount with the Voicing

parameter or choose Shift-based

preset

Easiest to use Fixed interval less useful for

musical harmony

Notes Perform harmony melodies on

MIDI keyboard or use MIDI track

playback

Complex harmonies can be creat-

ed that move independently of

sung voice melody.

Requires keyboard skills. Wide-

panned voices may swap sides

due to voice allocation.

Notes 4 Channel Perform harmony melodies on

four MIDI channels/tracks using a

MIDI keyboard and/or sequencer

Any harmony melody can be cre-

ated for each voice. Unique pitch

bends on each channel add real-

ism. Pan and Gender assign-

ments locked to voice

More time required to input

melodies. Sequencing knowledge

required.
