@charlie-james Жыл бұрын

Thanks for the videos! They've helped make sense of this pedal. I still have a couple questions about the harmonizer effect. In the Auto Mode - it's clear a MIDI signal isn't required, it's basing it off your voice. How does Midi come in to play? Also what exactly does key do in either mode? Does it 'snap' the harmony to a note in that key if you are slightly off?

@RossGallagherMusic Жыл бұрын

I'm glad they've helped! You're exactly right. When selecting a key, the pitch of the harmony will 'snap' to the closest pitch within that particular key, allowing you to lock the notes available when adding harmony. I believe Midi can be sent via chords when using the Auto Harmony FX, although I haven't actually tested that out myself. Hope this helps. Ross

Hi awesome videos!! Quick question, I saw your videos on connecting OnSong with midi, you also send the the key of the song on OnSong to fx when you change form on song to the other? The reason of sending the key is that sometime I have to change the key of the song I’m singing.

This might be a dumb question but you said you can only do it with midi but you are using a mic. What are you using to convert audio to midi?

@RossGallagherMusic Жыл бұрын

I'm just demonstrating how the harmony INPUT FX can be applied to your voice using the microphone, but you could achieve the same effect using an instrument, like a MIDI keyboard. You would still need to use audio/sounds from a seperate device and run this into the Instrument input on the RC-600 in order to be able to use the INPUT FX.

@codyturpenmusic 11 ай бұрын

Hey Ross thanks for all the informative videos! I just picked up an RC600 and I have several questions but the first one is, When I turn on effects, I don’t hear the effect until after I’ve recorded the loop and it’s playing back. Is there something I’m doing wrong? I would like to be able to use the effect without always recording a loop first. Like on this video, your singing with all these harmonies but I would have to turn the effect on, and record something before I could hear the harmonies added.

@RossGallagherMusic 11 ай бұрын

Hey Cody, just to check - are you sure you're definitely applying Input FX and not Track FX? If you're only hearing the effect after it's been recorded, this is likely to be a Track effect. Input FX should be heard as you're playing live as well as being recorded to the track, if that makes sense? Ross

@eltonjam7643 Ай бұрын

Hi Ross. I'm a new subscriber here. I tried doing the vocal harmony effects on rc600. However, it also affects the guitar harmony too. Is there a way that I can only the harmony for vocals only and the guitar sound still remains? If so, please teach me. Appreciate it a lot. I'm new to rc600 but been using rc30 for a while now. Thanks

@michaelbelcher4049 3 ай бұрын

Thanks Ross, great videos and very useful. Do you have a video on now to use guitar and harmony effects at the same time or in the same song? Thanks. I’m really struggling to figure out how to do it. Thanks!!

@RossGallagherMusic 3 ай бұрын

Thanks, Michael. Glad to hear you're finding the videos useful. I'm sure there will be something in there about inserting FX to the correct input, which will allow you to achieve this. However, remember you can only use 4 FX at the same time, so it wouldn't be possible to have 3 FX on for your guitar and another 2 FX for vocals etc. I tend to use my guitar FX externally and only use input FX for my vocals and cajon these days. Hope this helps!

Is there any command in ctr fnc or assigns in Rc 600 to activate certain input bank on a push of a pedal? I could not find one. If there was such command life would have been not so disfunctional. I could just assign the corresponding "activate input fx bank x" command to the play track pedal and the pedal would play the track and activate corresponding input fx bank at the same time. There are only input bank on/off, and inc/dec commands. They dont help. Do you know anything about coding the system for these pedals. Is making a command to activate certain input fx bank on press of a pedal so difficult?

@RossGallagherMusic Жыл бұрын

I don't own a BOSS GT-1, but I believe you can only access guitar FX within it and not vocal FX. You would be able to achieve similar amp simulation within the RC-600, but I think you would probably have more options in the GT-1.

Thanks for this demo, all the harmonies sound great. But I'm a bit confused on how to set up my mic. Are you using a "live" mic, which doesn't get recorded to your loops, or a mic which is recorded to the loops? At the moment, I have two mics. One is going through my TC Helicon, and my voice gets harmonized according to the guitar chords I play - the guitar also goes through the TC Helicon. Then the guitar output of the TC Helicon goes into my guitar pedals, and into the RC 600, while the mic output goes straight to my amp/speaker. I have a second mic which plugs directly into the RC 600 - so this one gets recorded onto loops. So, how do I get the RC600 to produce all these harmonies when I'm singing live, without recording them to the other loops I'm playing or dubbing on guitar? Is that possible? The TC Helicon harmonies are OK, but I'd like to try these RC600 effects as sometimes the chords I play on guitar make the TC Helicon confused and the harmonies sound awful. With the RC 600 I think being able to program them to my voice might be more accurate. Thanks.

You can select what instruments go to which tracks on the Rc600

Also, to answer part of your question, you can have other loops playing, and the harmonies switched “on” to your live mic, but they won’t actually get added to the loop unless you press “record”…

I think I’m correct and hope that answers your question

@RossGallagherMusic Жыл бұрын

Hi Bobbi, as mentioned in the comments, you can select which instruments are being recorded to each track. So if you are recording your guitar parts on Track 1 and singing live with the harmony FX, you can disable the Mic inputs so that they don't get recorded to the track. Another workaround if you did want to record the vocals to the same track at some point in the performance, is to use and A/B pedal and have that running into both mic inputs. Then just send one of those to the track and select that one when recording, using the other one for the live performance. Hope this all makes sense? Ross

Great question! There's certainly a lot more that the VE-500 offers, and if it was in my budget, I'd certainly be using it for my go to vocal FX. But that said, the RC-600 has all I really need and works quite well with my current set up, In terms of harmonies, from what I have heard, the VE-500 do tend to track better than the RC. Hope this helps. Ross

@brendan8233 8 ай бұрын

Thanks for your great videos. So if the harmony is not connected to guitar chords then how do you get harmony on your live vocals. Does it have to be pre programmed and how does midi control harmony. Sorry for dumb questions. Thomas

@RossGallagherMusic 8 ай бұрын

No problem at all. The harmony FX work in a couple of different ways; manual, where you predetermine they key (personally, I set this for each memory) and auto; which works off midi note messages received by the device. So basically, if you were to play a keyboard, the diatonic harmony would change, depending on the chord you are playing. Unfortunately, the RC doesn't work when strumming guitar chords. Hope this helps. Ross

hello.. i have a question... if i assign each track to a different output, how can i record the same instrument on a different track?

@RossGallagherMusic 9 ай бұрын

Unfortunately, once you have recorded onto a track, you cannot split the recorded sounds from that track to a specific output. Basically, this means that if you are routing instruments to individual outputs, you will need to allocate a track for that specific instrument. For example, I use tracks 1 and 3 for my guitar which are routed to my guitar amp from sub output 1, tracks 3 and 4 for my vocals/shaker which are routed from the main outputs and into the mixing desk, track 5 for bass which is also routed to the guitar amp via sub output 1, then track 6 for my pickup cajon which is routed from sub output 2 to its own channel on the desk. Hope this helps and all makes sense. Ross

Absolutely. If you go to your track settings for whichever track you wish to disable your guitar on, you can page all the way across and turn off any instrument you don't want recording to that track. That way, if you're playing guitar and singing at the same time, only your guitar will be recorded if you turn off INST and leave MIC on. Just be mindful that some guitar sound will still probably bleed through into your mic, though. The last part of this video should help you out... kzfaq.info/get/bejne/rtGWbLF61NC6h3k.html

The expression Pedal is not a good solution since it's way too sensitive and frankly, it's just not comfortable. A switch which would raise or lower the tempo by my selected interval(i think 3 bpm a press) would've made the rc600 a dream come true. same thing with volume(for current track or main volume) would be amazing as well. I did try expression pedals... seriously not comfortable at all. Thanks🙏🙏
