Presets that create automatic
doubling
Presets 41-50
You can use these to recreate the lush thickness of
voices singing in unison along with your dry voice.
Some presets feature multiple harmony voices, others
use the model to create a unique character to sing
along with you and at least one uses the
Mod effect
to create the doubling illusion.
Though some presets display a key and scale, no key
and scale adjustment or MIDI input is required to enjoy
them.
Presets that offer Pitch Correction
Presets 51 to 56
You can explore pitch correction with this group of
presets. You should be aware that, when set optimally,
the effect of pitch correction is subtle compared to the
other effects in VoiceWorksPlus especially when you
are singing through the product (as opposed to playing
back a recorded track).
To be effective, pitch correction needs key and scale to
be set so that it matches your song. Like the Scale
harmony presets, the default setting for these is A
major.To change the key and scale of pitch correction,
press the EDIT button and scroll to menu C0 with the
Data Wheel.
Several presets are devoted to pairing pitch correction
with the Chord, Notes and Scale harmony modes.
Note that the harmony information shown on the
preset main screen e.g. “H:Scale A Major2”, does not
reflect the pitch correction key and scale settings.
(***Delete the following text in all versions:) To view
the key and scale of the pitch correction in one of
these presets, briefly bypass the Harmony/Model
effects by pressing the Harmony/Model button. Once
you’ve learned the correction information, you can re-
activate the Harmony/Model effects.
There is one preset that uses a chromatic scale in
which all notes are valid and no key or scale is
required.
Presets that feature the Transducer
Presets 71 to 80
The presets in these group send your voice through
the Transducer to provide interesting distortion,
megaphone and telephone effects. Care must be taken
when using this effect because it can cause feedback
simply because of the nature of distortion which tends
to raise the average level of the signal. You can take
steps such as pointing your mic away from the speaker
and turning down the volume until you get used to
how this effect reacts with your PA setup.
Classic vocal effects
Presets 81 to 90
There is a group of presets in VoiceWorksPlus
configured to produce classic effects such as reverb,
delay, chorus, and flange etc.These are best auditioned
in stereo although they are useful in mono as well.
...And the rest
The presets described above will give you a good
overview of the capabilities of VoiceWorksPlus There
are, of course more presets scattered throughout the
100 preset slots that are variations on these themes.
