QUICKSTART
Making Scale Harmony Presets
Work with Your Song
When you're not using MIDI, Scale Presets
are the best way to produce harmonies in
VoiceLive. You need to know a few things to
make this work:
1. In what key is the song (A,B C.. etc.)?
2. Is the song in a major or minor key?
Another thing you need is an instrument to
sing with so that you know that you are singing
in the right key.
• Hold the PRESET button (1) to put
VoiceLive into preset mode.
• While singing “ahhh” into VoiceLive, find a
preset with the word “Scale” in the second
line having only one or two VOCAL LEDs lit.
Choose one that has a general sound to the
harmonies that you would like for the song.
• Press the KEY button (2) followed by the
NEXT button to set the key of the Song.
• Press the SCALE button (3) followed by the
NEXT button (6) to set the scale type of the
song to either “M1” if the song is in a major
key or “m1” if the song is in a minor key.
• Play a chord or a starting note on your
instrument to ensure that you are going to
sing in the right key, and try singing the
song into VoiceLive.
• If the harmonies don’t sound right try a
different Scale type number (1, 2 or 3) by
pressing the PREVIOUS/NEXT buttons
(5,6). Remember to stick with “M” if your
song is in a major key and “m” if your song
is in a minor key.
• If they still don’t sound right, press the KEY
button (2) followed by the PREVIOUS button
(5) five times to set the key to a 5th above
the key of the song.
• If they still don’t sound right press the
SCALE button (3) followed by the
PREVIOUS/NEXT buttons (5,6) to select a
different scale type.
• Finally, if they still don’t sound right press
the KEY button (2) followed by the
PREVIOUS button (5) two times to set the
key to a 4th above the key of the song then
try changing the scale.
• If one of the Key/Scale type combinations
you tried above sounded close but not quite
right, go back and set the Key and Scale to
the best setting you achieved.
Up to this point we have been trying to find a
key and scale type with a scale preset to work
with the song. If there are only one or two
notes in the song that don’t sound right with
the current setting, it may be possible to
“adjust” the harmonies for those notes using a
custom pitch map.
• Sing the song into VoiceLive and stop on
the note that has the wrong harmonies.
• Figure out what note it is using your ears
and your instrument or look at sheet music
of the song.
• Press the EDIT key and turn the DATA
WHEEL to edit screen VO7.
• Press ENTER (the DATA WHEEL) and turn
the DATA WHEEL until the In: note is the
note with the wrong sounding harmonies.
• Adjust the voices to the correct notes using
the 4 EDIT knobs. (you only have to adjust
the voices that are shown lit on the LEDs)
• Try singing the song again to see if you
need to adjust any more harmony voices
and correct them using the procedure
above.
• Press ENTER to allow normal operation of
the DATA WHEEL.
If this still does not result in acceptable
harmonies it may be because in the song you
need to have different harmonies for the same
note, depending on what the chord is. You
then need to use chord presets in Song mode
to step though the changing chord information
in the song.
