Incredible Chord-based Harmony and Effects!

DigiTech's Vocalist Live Pro is a smart harmony vocal and effects rack processor based on Digitech's acclaimed Vocalist Live 4! Boasting improved note detection methods, and a MIDI interface that works with keyboards as well as guitars, the Vocalist Live Pro can create three or four part real-time harmonies with your live voice that are in key, in perfect pitch, and based entirely on the chords you are playing! With the VLPro, you also get a ton of world-class effects, including Lexicon reverbs, and the ability to select individual personas and genders for your virtual backup singers. Completely controllable onstage via an optional foot switch, you can kick in the harmonies at just the right moment with your Digitech Vocalist Live Pro!

Digitech Vocalist Live Pro at a Glance:
  • Harmony based on chord recognition
  • World-class effects
  • High-quality mic pre
  • USB connectivity for tweaking presets
  • Controllable via footswitch

Harmony based on chord recognition
The Vocalist Live Pro incorporates Digitech's MusIQ technology that actually analyzes the chords you're playing on your guitar or keyboard. It produces three or four part vocal harmony based expressly on what you play. You can choose unison, 3rd, 5th, or octaves above or below the lead vocal to get the right sound, storing presets for each of your songs.

World-class effects and presets
Not only can you pitch correct each individual voice with four adjustable parameters, you also have full control over a compressor, and Lexicon-licenses reverbs and EQ. Persona models let you actually select the gender and "style" of each of your backup singers, giving you a wide range of sonic and tonal possibilities. 99 factory presets are onboard the Vocalist Live Pro, which you can easily edit, recalling up to 99 presets of your own!

High-quality mic pre
The Vocalist Live Pro features a studio-grade Soundcraft mic preamp, complete with 48v phantom power for easily using any of your favorite condenser mics on stage for great sound.

USB connectivity for tweaking and loading presets
Connect your Vocalist Live Pro to your computer via USB, and you have complete control over your presets. As you experiment more and more with your VLPro, you still won't have to worry about forgetting your favorite presets - you can keep them archived on your computer, loading any 99 onto your VLPro via USB as you rehearse for your next gig!

Controllable via footswitch
While the Vocalist Live Pro is a mighty effects rack processor, it's designed expressly for the performer. You can control your VLPro via footswitch as well as expression pedal jacks, giving you control over your presets and effects for even more expressive, dynamic performances!

Digitech Vocalist Live Pro-is the best one yet!

by MikeT156 from State College, PA

Music Background: Active Musician
I bought this unit about a year ago and it exceeded my expectations. I have used it pretty heavy since I bought it and it’s been 100% reliable. The OS is solid, no quirks built in. It has a nice color... read more [+] screen that is easy to read in a dark club. Very good build quality, front panel controls operate smoothly. It has 4 outputs so individual voices can be mixed separately when recording or live. Also has an additional output for the lead voice to send to FOH sound man so lead vocal is never overpowered by harmonies. Digitech licensed Lexicon effects and a Soundcraft Preamp, so there’s proven quality built in.

I provide MIDI data via a separate track on my sequencer so the harmonies are 100% accurate. It is also possible to sing Acapulco with no MIDI data by selecting what key and what scale to use for a song; the unit can be set for what vocal intervals you want (above and below) to accompany the lead vocal. It also has MusicIQ that works pretty well for a guitarist that provide chords to the unit while they sing. I prefer MIDI data for the best accuracy.

The factory presets provide a nice variety of usable harmonies that can be edited and saved to a User preset. This unit comes with USB connection and with the free software, you can backup your User patches, and then reload them in different locations that are more convenient, or put in sequential order.

This unit has a hot output so the unit is very quiet even when you crank up the vocals. The User Interface is easy to operate, even though this has a ton of great features built in. You can walk through each category and select what you want and save it. I suggest looking through all the specs to get a handle on how many great features it has.

It sounds great. No chip monks in this box. Many people that have heard me play asked me how I got all the voices and asked if I was using real audio or recordings. Very realistic. This unit is a bargain for the price, considering what it can do.

Replace Your VoiceLive or VoiceWorks With This!

by D.J. from Monterey, TN U.S.A.

Music Background: Vocalist, Live Sound Engineer, Recording Engineer
I was so pleased to see another reviewer who felt the frustration with the TC Helicon products that I did relative to their ease of use. I personally replaced my VoiceLive with this rack mount piece ... read more [+]and haven't looked back since. The big rub for me used to be that TC Helicon has always had superior-sounding harmony voices, and noone else really came close to matching their quality, so an artist like me was forced to choose between high quality-sounding harmony vocals on a TC piece and the ease of use of most Digitech pieces. Well, Digitech has not only closed that gap, but they just flew by TC Helicon with the introduction of this piece. Have you noticed the recent price drop of the VoiceLive?? Wonder why?? This Digitech piece gives you spot-on harmonies, and it knows when to change keys so that you don't have to spend all the time programming key changes into your pedal, and then praying that you remember to tap the footswitch at the right time during the performance of a song so that your harmonies are in key with where you are. Digitech hit the ball out of the park with this piece, so if you are having any hesitation as you debate whether or not to buy it, pull the trigger. I am a vocalist with close to 20 years experience playing with various processors over the years, and I can tell you personally that this piece is worth every penny. close [-]

Digitech Vocalist LIve Pro

I normally don't do reviews, but this box deserves it since there currently aren't any available. I just bought this box to replace a TC Helicon Voiceworks that was to difficult to be productive in a ... read more [+]songwriting environment. This box is truely plug and play. No more trying to figure out how to program what scale mode you're in. Who has time for that non-sense. This thing reads the chords from your guitar and does it on the fly. Just like I play...on the fly. The box voice deffinately improves my vocal qualities which are limited. The harmonies are great when you select the appropriate preset and have the proper level of backing voices. It also has voice models to sound like other artists and genders. Another nice feature above the TC is that this box has 4 outputs so you can seperate lead vocals from harmonies for recording or whatever. Very, Very, Very easy user interface..not like the TC Helicon. Too much good to say...Try One. Certainly some of the best bang for buck I have spent lately. close [-]
