last chord in a song without extensions. For example G
Major is a valid Key, Gm7b5 is not.

Hold the HARMONY footswitch to enter Key Set mode
then use the PRESET up and down footswitches to
enter the Key.The STEP footswitch will cycle through the
3 Major and 3 Minor alternate scales that can be chosen
if your harmony intervals sound incorrect at certain
chord/melody combinations.

Note that the Key you set is global so you can try other
presets with your song without entering Key again.

If you’re lucky the first time, you’ll be rewarded with
soaring harmony over your whole chorus or song. If not,
you can try the following:

o Try a different Key, perhaps a 5th away from your

first choice.

o Choose a different Major or Minor alternate Scale.
o Choose a preset with only the 3rd (High) interval.
o Create a Step to change Key at the right moments.
o Move on to the next options listed.

Singing To Music Playback

VoiceLive 2 can derive musical information from fully
mixed music tracks. For this alternative you’ll need:

o Music source device.This could be an MP3 player,

computer, CD player etc.

o Recorded music without vocals.This could be your

latest CD tracks minus your vocals or Karaoke
tracks available on the web

Connect as described for MP3 Player (AUX input) in the
Quick Start section. When you power up VoiceLive 2, it
will auto-recognize the AUX input as the harmony music
source. Choose a harmony preset and play your music
source. You should hear your music, voice and the
harmonies in your PA system or headphones.

Use the volume control on your music source device to
adjust the balance of music to vocals.You can also adjust
the AUX level in the SETUP menu, in the I/O tab.
