Tom Lang is TC Helicon's best sales person and it's not even close. Great video even 11 years later. Convinced me to purchase!

The most precise short and thorough presentation , ever. Congratulations !

Thank you so much Tom for the video, so well explained , I just bought the pedal and i can not wait to receive it and use it live. GREAT !!!

Thanks man for doing a clear in depth demo on this product. Great Job!

seriously this is the best demo of this pedal ive seen so far

Amazing Pedal. Awesome demo. Looking forward to getting one of these.

Hi Deiter, Our units detect the incoming chords and create harmony from a combination of that and your lead vocal note, so there's no need to adjust anything when playing a 1/2 step down. The unit will simply "hear" an Eb instead of an E, for example. Everything will work just the same as it would with standard tuning.

great demo!!! Thanks it answered all my questions!

Very well explained & demo'd Tom, thanks John.

just got mine tom and have to say ,what a class pedal ,, cheers for the demo s to dude ,, happy days :)

Excellent video Tom, I just got one of these and have been dying to give it a try, but wanted to watch some vids about it first and yours was the first one I found after searching for this pedal, I may not watch anymore after this excellent demo you've given and just jump right in and start playing around with it. Thank you Tom!

This video is very comprehensible for the foreigner such as me Japanese, Highly appreciated.

Amazing! It's really a very nice voice pedal. I'm gonna buy it.

Great video, Tom! You do some of the best gear demos and tutorials in the industry.

Thanks Tom! I needed that.

Thanks Tom!!....I also want to mention that i really liked the sound of you and your band when you were demonstrating the Harmony GXT!!....Sounded Great!!

Thank you Tom!

I've used this pedal at gigs and at rehearsal. Fantastic! Simple to use and sounds great.

Great Job Man, Thank You

Hi John, the guitar signal passes through the Harmony Singer on the way to the amp. We look at the incoming dry/clean chord information to work out the harmonies and the signal moves right along to your guitar pedals/amp.

Great demo very useful. cheers fae Bonnie Scotland

Es tremendo, a mi me gusta cantar a dúo o trió, pero cuando hay personas que no siguen la secuencia eso crea un poco de😣 pero con este intrumento es fenomenal me encanta,gracias.

Heya Michael, You could do either. It's up to you to tune the guitar itself, so the placement of the tuner only matters if the pedal before it would somehow affect the sound. Harmony Singer doesn't change the guitar sound, so the tuner will "hear" it the same in either setup.

Hi Nicky, Yep. The caveat is that the mix of the particular track will determine how well the chord tracking works. The better the unit can "hear" clear chords (root+3rd+5th etc.) the better it will work.

Great video. Thanks!

Thank you so much for nice explanation!!!

Just ordered one of these babies to beef up my acoustic performance. Looking forward to being able to perform Eagles and Beatles so much better. I'm using this at the next open mike night a the local pub. Hopefully a few jaws are going to drop if it sounds as good as I hope its going to.

Thank you for the tips sir.... im holding right now my tc helicon harmony singer just now.. iam excited to use it----keep up the good work make more quiepment innovation......nice mind genuis....the only problem i have was i cannot control while iam praying the guitar the different reverb effects.. so i decided to buy ipad holder which you can resize the grip that will fit in Tc Harmony singer ..much better this way... thank you once again sir

Awesome! You guys make great stuff at a really friendly price!

Hi David, I'd think of the H. Singer as an even smaller and simpler G-XT. The sounds are both of the same quality, but there's presets and some other options in the G-XT that the harmony singer doesn't have. It's more intended to chuck down on the floor and get a great harmony whenever you want it, with minimal setup.

Great video love my pedal

Hi Dexter, You can definitely use a wireless mic. Typically, the mic receiver will have an xlr output, which you could run into the Harmony Singer's XLR input. Just watch the gain staging. You'll need to make sure that the signal coming from your receiver doesn't overload the H. Singer's input. You want to see green/yellow LED almost all the time when you sing, but never red.

my friends has one and is incredible ..in live is absolutly amazing but yes or yes you need to play a guitar or your guitar can play for you ..but is amazing pedal so simple abd easy

Hi Dexter, All of our pedals in this form factor offer +24V phantom power. The Rode may require +48. If that's the case, then you'd need an external +48 phantom supply.

Hi Jose, No, you need 12V to power the preamp and other electronics in the pedal. That's also why we don't offer battery power...yet.

Awesome! Great Demo. Answered my question about; harmony & reverb for chorus, reverb only for verses, then dry for talking. Excellent.

Tks a lot! Very useful!!

Thank you so much really good tutorial 🎸🎹🎤🎼🎸🎼🎸🎹🎸🎼🎤🎤🎤🎤🎤🎤🎤

Very good review. Simply explained and a cool, easy presentation. The unit has quite a few features with not too many buttons and knobs. Can you have separate foot-switch? that way the unit can reached and make changes without bending down to the floor. Parraboy

Yep sure can. There's a Mic Control button on the side, just like the Mic Mechanic you have. It'll work with an MP-75 or Sennheiser e 835 fx.

When you play a minor chord, the unit analyzes both the chord and the note you're singing to determine the appropriate harmony. That's not to say it works in every sing song every written, but it's pretty great at doing its thing.

Hi Hallam, You could run the audio from your keyboard through the Harmony Singer as long as it's got good chordal information in it. If your keyboard has the ability to send 1/2 of the keyboard out one output (I'm thinking left hand for chords) then that would be ideal.

Thanks Chris!

For a keyboard with MIDI out, you should get the Harmony M for superior MIDI chord tracking, stereo output, more control of harmony and effect settings, and 10 programmable presets. It's not quite as small as this pedal but still quite compact. I use 2 Harmony M units on gids, so the other singer in my band can provide 3 part harmony behind me based on my keyboard playing. Love my TC-Helicon!

Sounds good!

I seen a video of this unit being used without the power cord in it as if there is a way to use it waith a battery. I have this unit but cant figure out where there is a place to use it with a battery. Can someone please tell me if and where the battery goes on this

It's using the same algorithms as the Harmony G-XT, VoiceLive 2, VoiceLive Touch etc.

My doubts: is it possible to replace some of the factory voices with others, for example, change the 3rd high by a high octave ???

hi! my people want to find out for sure and step by asking if the Harmony Singer works well with condenser microphones requiring 48v mic such as that I have I

Hi Tom. great instr. video. Question; Can you use the pedal without a guitar for vocalists who don't play?

Hi, great review but Can I plugged and used it with the Helicom Mic Mechanic 2 just with one microphone? I wonder if this harmony singer pedal will rectified or correct me the pitch without using a guitar , as I’m not gonna play guitar , I wanted to use to sing along backing tracks, Thanks

Can i just connect my mic to the Harmony singer, and then connect to my mixer and just sing without guitar to get harmony for my song. I will have the mp3 player connected to the mixer and play. Please advise. thanks,

Can i plug both mic and acoustic steel string guitar with a soundhole p/u into the same (Ibanez Troubador) acoustic guitar amp?

Heya Keyboard guys :) You can send keys audio to the Inst IN on the Harmony Singer and have NaturalPlay harmonies that way. Your best bet is to send the most chordal information you can, with no chorus/reverb on the sounds. (That's why we tell guitarists to put the HSinger before any effects.) If you have an output that would only send "left hand" chord stuff, even better.

Does it work on a drop tuned bass line fed thru a POG to put it up one octave?

great demo

Can I use the harmony singer 2 to double track my voice, I know it can do harmonies obviously but is the option available to just double track?

Hi, very useful demo. Can I separately adjust the volume of harmony and amount of reverb or does level do both or just reverb.

HI Randy, The Harmony Singer doesn't create any guitar audio or processing, so you can't get audio out the Mic out.

Hi. Thanks for the video.. May I ask please, whats the main difference between this and the TC-Helicon VoiceTone H1? Thank you!

I have the Harmony GXT.....of which i love......What are the differences???...

Thank you 😊

Yep, you nailed it :)

Any chance you guys could add the momentary harmony switch in a firmware update to the Harmony G-XT?

I just received the unit yesterday and keep in mind, I have an original Harmony G as well. The Harmony Singer was not tracking properly with a drop D tuning song last night and playing a full chord and 3rd below. I am going to sample again tonight and compare against the Harmony G. Also, I find that I have far less headroom with the tone engaged before I get feedback that has to be eq'd out which is counterproductive. Advice?

Great presentation Tom. I have a question though. I love the products, I have both the mic mechanic 2 and the vocal harmony 2. My question is can they be used in tandem? Would I just jump from mic out to mic in from unit to unit? I know VH2 uses guitar to control harmony and the Mic mechanic doesn’t. So if you could suggest how I might use both pedals in a chain? Thanks so much! Tony T.

Hi, I´ll buy a VoiceLive Play GTX or Harmony Singer, but I'm in doubt. I want to use my pedals with my guitar and VoiceLive Play GTX only to my voice. Could this feature "VoiceLive Play GTX listens to the Guitar input to set key automatically" still work to my voice?

Thanx Tom.Great pedal, great demo (and great singer by the way !). I bought a HS and I'll receive it in the next few days.One question about the outputs : you say the output XLR is to be connected to a PA.But i want to make the HS sound thru my guitar amp,with my guitar .I've a amp & effects modeller connected to my amp (Line6 Pod hd Pro) for the guitar.There's an mic XLR input on the Pod. Can I plug the HS into it ? I ask this because I've read the output on the HS is a " XLR line output" and i wondered what the word "line" was meaning ( something to do with "line level" ?)I suppose I can but i'd like to have your advice.Thanx for your answer.Greatings from Paris.

Thanks!

how many cables i need? i believe 3 ?? one for my microphone to the pedal one to my guitar to the pedal and and one to the pedal to my amplifier or consola ..and what kind of cables ??thanks

Does the guitar have to go out the Thru? If, like on the Voicelive 2, you want both signals to go out of the Main Out, can you do that with this pedal, or do you have to go Thru?

Sounds great! i only use a loudbox mini amp which has 60W behind it so i dont usually use a PA. Will this pedal still work if i plug it into the amp?

Great little piece of equipment for the vocalist, however it would be helpful if a demo could show how to use a wireless ear monitor system with the Harmony !

how can i connect my acoustic guitar effects, using with this harmony singer?

Guys! Amazing! Tell me where can I buy one, please! :D

Hi everyone. i bought Harmony Singer 3 months ago from U.A.E. i've used it 3 times only.All this time the device was stored at home in good conditions.yesterday i've connected it..& unwanted noise started ...i push ground lift button..no use.all wires is new.Mixer is new.i've tried to do it in several mixers,speakers..with same result (noise) Any advises ? thanks

Will i get the same results with a bass guitar plugged in?

i do like those harmonies :3 wish you guys would make a harmoney/hardtune effect thing that is midi controlled.

How are splitting the guitar signal to go both to an amp and to the Harmony Singer? Can this be used with a wireless mic, and how is that done? Sounds great!

Maybe this has been answered and I missed.... I play a lot with guitars all half step down. I currently have the original harmony g and I have to power it down and tune it to the guitar. How did his unit compare in that regard?

Got to have it!...CSN&Y harmonies at the flick of a button?...man!!!....

great review. can i use this with Boss RC 300 Loop Station? and use this pedal to loop harmonies?

It should be available in North America by early May. Check with your dealer for details :)

Yep absolutely you can use an acoustic guitar. That said, H. Singer doesn't provide processing, so it can't boost the level. We just read the incoming chords and send the signal on its way down the line.

Help ! ... I turned on my T/C Helicon Harmony Singer (Blue Box) and the vocal part doesn't work anymore. The guitar plays through it fine but dead silence on the vocal. The only thing I know wrong is the little mike button on the right is gone, but it fell apart months ago and I'm pretty sure it has worked ok without it (I could be wrong). Inside the T/C where the 'button housing' box is/was, there are only the 6 terminals sticking up. So I have a couple questions; (1) Do I need the mike button for the TC Harmony Singer to work? ... and if so, ... (2) can I jumper across a couple of the 6 terminals to permanently lock it in the 'non-mike' mode ? (I don't even have the controlable mike) ... and if so, ... (3) which terminals do I jumper? Many thanks in advance

Is it OK to use an acoustic guitar preamp after the Harmony Singer? I have a passive soundhole pickup (Fishman) fitted to my guitar and it has a low output. I want to achieve a volume boost. Amp is a Roland AC33. Hope these are not dumb questions.

There's no doubling on this pedal. For dedicated Doubling, I'd check out the VoiceTone D1.

Is having a line out to a pa a must to have the pedal work? Or can you use it just by going through your amp? Or even by having an XLR to 1/4 inch jack cable to a separate amp?

is this equipment can i use wireless mic instead of TC Helicon MP-75 Dynamic Vocal Mic thank you i order it already thnks for the bit

I have used a Harmony Singer for sometime now with great success. However as of late I get a lot of static. I have traced the problem to the Harmonizer. I used the ground lift but to no avail. Can the instrument in and out connections be cleaned with DeoxIT ? DeoxIT improves electronic connections. I have used DeoxIT on my mixer when it made static and the problem cleared up. Please contact me asap as I have lots of gigs lined up.

I HAVE MINE NOW...CAN I USE RODE NT1A IN THIS EQUIPMENT WITHOUT USING MIC PRE AMP THNK U

Can you use it threw the amp that your playing your guitar threw. I've tried it threw my acoustic amp in a separate channel that has effects that can be used and it seems to drift.

Does the guitar sensor work with fingerstyle? Or just strumming?

Why can't I find a video demo of the change in harmony from a single vocal note changing from the guitar input? Like a singer holding out a single note while the guitar moves through different chords where the harmonies change.....

Hi, I need to know if i can use a pad system vs guitare playing music ( drums + keyboard melody with chords associated in the loop) so music in fact.... thanks

Great pedal. I was wondering is it useful when you hook it up with the bass guitar since the bass guitar does not play chords as electric guitar? Because, If you play Am and you want to hear third-up - and you play bass only with the tone A - how can pedal recognize is it sharp or not? thanks

What does it do for sus 4 chords or 6/9 chords ? Does it basically only find 3rds above and below the main vocal melody voice?

Very Nice!! In the chain: Guitar First, then HS, then Ditto? or Guitar, Ditto, then HS? Thanks

Hi. Nice toy! Do you know if it works well with "Jazz harmonies" like b5, #9, etc.? I'm starting a duo project and that would be a cool add-on to the show :) Thanks!

Hello I don't play guitar, nor keyboard...does this also work with instrumental backings on cd or mp3? Thanks
