NaturalPlay	Detects Key/Scale from music you play	NaturalPlay “listens” to your guitar, keyboard or mixed music track and figures out which chords are being played. From the chord information Key/Scale can be determined, which allows Harmonies and HardTune effects to be perfectly fit to your music. You focus on playing your song and we figure out the rest!
Mic Control	Control various operations with our mic switch!	TC-Helicon’s patent pending Mic-Control circuit allows simple, single button control of all of TC-Helicon’s USB enabled vocal processors, including VoiceLive 2, VoiceLive Touch, VoiceTone Singles, Harmony-G XT, Create XT and Synth. For more information about Mic Control, see: MP-75 and Mic Control
RoomSense	Listens to music in the room to set key/scale	Introduced in TC-Helicon’s VoiceLive Play and VoiceLive Play GTX, 2 small microphones “listen” to music being created in the room and attempt to pick out chord information for use in processing Key/Scale. The best location to place your device using RoomSense is close to a chord based instrument, like a piano or guitar. The more clearly RoomSense can hear the chords, the more accurate it will be. RoomSense can also be blended in with your headphone mix to allow you to hear room sounds. This is especially useful with In Ear Monitors or IEM’s.
Tone	Adaptive EQ, Compression and Gating	Like a personal audio engineer, Tone adapts studio-quality compression, de-ess and EQ to your individual voice to bring out your most exciting vocal tone. The multiband EQ compares your vocal frequencies to an ideal target and brightens and removes mud accordingly while the compressor works to keep your voice sounding smooth whether you’re right on the mic or farther away.

Anti-Feedback	Detects feedback and crushes it!	Feedback is a reality for the contemporary vocalist. Unlike other anti-feedback technology, ours doesn’t require any pre-calibration in a quiet room before your gig – who has time for that? Anti-Feedback actively seeks out offending frequencies and reduces their volume, while preserving as much of the original signal as possible.
Pitch Correction	Guides your voice to the nearest pure note	No singer is perfect, though some are more accurate than others. Auto-Chromatic Pitch Correction gently (or not so gently) guides your voice to the nearest “pure” note, making sure you always sound your best. When performing with Pitch Correction, it’s normal to hear a slight “phasing” or “chorusing” effect. It’s the combination of your head voice and the corrected voice via your monitoring system. You’ll get used to the sound quickly and don’t worry; the crowd only hears the corrected voice.
Tap Tempo	Allows you to tap in a tempo with your foot or finger	Tap Tempo allows you to set the tempo of the delay by tapping your foot in time with your music. It’s super easy to re-time your delays to be right on the beat, which creates a very professional sound.
Looping	Record, overdub and playback short audio segments
Looping Time	Loop time in seconds. Stereo/Mono/Undo-Off	Our devices that loop provide varying amounts of available looping memory, which determines the loop time. In some products, you can set the output to Mono and/or turn off the Undo feature to gain more looping time. Check out the user manual for each device to learn how looping time can be modified.	15/30/60	30/60/120		42/84/168	30/60/120	15/30 Stereo Only	15/30 Stereo Only
Loop Tracks	Maximum number of separate loop tracks		1	1		6	1	1	1
Loop Assist	Quantize button presses to nearest beat for easier looping	Loop Assist helps make your loops better! When creating a loop, timing the beginning and ending can be a challenge. With Loop Assist, your button presses are quantized to the nearest beat, ensuring that your loops are seamless and sound awesome. Make sure you have your Metronome set to ON or SHH (see your manual) to enable Loop Assist.
MIDI Sync	Allows tempo sync from incoming MIDI Clock	MIDI Sync allows an external device to control the tempo of your TC-Helicon unit. If you use an external clock source from a DAW or other device (Ableton, Logic, Pro-Tools etc.); you may want each device to follow the same tempo. MIDI Sync allows this to happen. All of your related vocal effects, like Delay or Rhythmic, plus your loop controls (via LoopAssist) will be synched to the incoming MIDI Clock signal. For more information on the technical aspects of MIDI Clock (Timecode), see: Wikipedia – MIDI Clock
Metronome	Audio Metronome	An audio metronome. The Metronome feature gives you an audio tempo reference, which reflects the tempo set within the unit. This tempo relates to any time based effects, like Delay or Rhythmic.
Vocal Cancel	Attempts to remove vocals from recorded music	Vocal cancel compares the Left and Right channels of a stereo recording, determines common elements, usually the lead vocal, and uses phase cancellation to reduce or remove those elements. The success of Vocal Cancel is entirely dependent on the source material, so your results may vary. For more information about Interference and Phase Cancellation, click here: Wikipedia Interference Wave Propagation
Slider FX	Real time control over vocal and loop effects	Slider FX revolutionizes your vocal sound! Using the Slider FX bar, you can create vocal manipulations that take your performance to a new level. From nuanced to insane, you can create big pitch shifts, apply an EQ filter, change Rhythmic divisions and much more!
Effects
Reverb	Simulates an acoustic space	Short for Reverberation, reverb simulates an acoustic space like a concert hall or a bathroom. Typically, slower songs use longer reverb and faster songs use shorter reverb. For more information on the technical aspects of reverb, see: Wikipedia Reverberation
Delay	Otherwise known as echo	Also known as Echo, delay repeats the input sound in various ways, from single “taps” to multiple panned asynchronous repeats. Often, delay is mistaken for reverb in a song. It’s typical in a recording to use a small amount of both delay and reverb to create the desired spatial effect. For more information on the technical aspects of reverb, see: Wikipedia Delay
Harmony	Creates harmonies from your voice	Likely the most popular and impressive of our effects suite, Harmony creates up to 8 voices of harmony (varies by product), based on your vocal input and surrounds you with professional sounding backup singers. Once you’ve added harmony to your performance, we think you’ll never want to sing without it. For more information on harmony and musical theory, check out: Wikipedia Harmony Our scale chart, showing harmony notes created from an input note, can be found here: TC-H Harmony Chart
Harmony Control	The various ways harmony can be controlled	There are several ways that harmony can be controlled in our products, including Scale, NaturalPlay Guitar/MIDI, Aux and MIDI-Notes. The choices are flexible and easy to set up, no matter what style of music you’re playing.

Choir	Extended harmony voices for choral sounds
Doubling	The classic sound of double tracking	Doubling creates an effect that makes your voice sound “larger” in the mix. It’s an extremely popular effect in a wide variety of musical styles from Pop to Hip-Hop and everything in between. For more information on Doubling or “double tracking” see: Wikipedia Double Tracking
Hard Tune	Yep, that pop tuned sound	Some people know it as the Cher or T-Pain effect. We call it Hard Tune. It’s a very aggressive form of pitch correction that forces the voice to “jump” from one note to the next in an almost robotic way. The effect works the best when confined to a set scale, where the intervals between notes are more noticeable. To get the most out of the effect, you’ll need to adapt your singing style to help accentuate the way that your voice shifts from note to note. Try sliding between notes.
μMod	Pronounced micro mod. Effects like chorus and flange	µMod, pronounced “micro mod” contains effects that chorus, flange or otherwise modulate the signal. These effects can range from subtle to extreme. For more information on Chorus see: Wikipedia Chorus Effect and Flanging: Wikipedia Flanging Effect																						Thicken
Transducer	All the loud stuff like megaphone and distortion	Any effect that provides overdrive, distortion or filter falls under Transducer effects. You’ll find effects like Megaphone, Radio, Amplifier Emulation and more here. Always take care when using transducer effects in a live situation. Due to the extreme gains and eq’s imparted on the signal, these effects are very prone to feedback. For more information on Transducers see: Wikipedia Transducer and Distortion: Wikipedia Distortion
Rhythmic	St-t-t-tutter effects and other cool rhythmical manipulation	Remember Max Headroom from the 80’s with his stutter-y, jerky speech patterns? That’s the kind of effect you can re-create with the Rhythmic effect. You can chop and cut your voice to create very interesting patterns and repeats. There’s also a sampler available to take a tiny slice of vocals and put it through the wringer. Rhythmic is the kind of effect that, when used sparingly, can have a huge wow factor in a performance.
Vocoder	Mom! I sound like a robot! Instrument guided vocoding	Vocoding is the process of using a “carrier” signal to create synthesized speech and singing. You can use your guitar to guide all sorts of robot, synthesizer and tuning effects. Troy Sanders of Mastodon uses the VoiceTone Synth in his live performances. For more information about VoiceTone Synth click here:VoiceTone Synth To read more about Vocoding see: Wikipedia Vocoder
Voice Modeling	Resonance, Glottal, Inflection and Vibrato manipulation
Guitar FX
Guitar Tuner	Keep that axe sounding great!
Reverb	Simulates an acoustic space	Short for Reverberation, reverb simulates an acoustic space like a concert hall or a bathroom. Typically, slower songs use longer reverb and faster songs use shorter reverb. For more information on the technical aspects of reverb, see: Wikipedia Reverberation

These effects can range from subtle to extreme. For more information on Chorus see: Wikipedia Chorus Effect and Flanging: Wikipedia Flanging Effect
Distortion	Overdrive and boost	Any effect that provides overdrive, distortion or filter falls under Transducer effects. You’ll find effects like Megaphone, Radio, Amplifier Emulation and more here. For more information on Transducers see: Wikipedia Transducer and Distortion: Wikipedia Distortion
Compression	Controls dynamic range	Compressors are used to control dynamic range in musical material. Essentially, you’re reducing the difference between the loudest and softest levels, which provides more even sounding output. For vocals, it’s extremely common to use high levels of compression on a lead track, so that every word can be clearly heard over the music. When taken to extremes, compression can “hype” the sound, creating an effect unto itself. When related to guitar, compression provides enhanced sustain and attack. Combined with overdrive/distortion effects, you can create very even sounding rhythm or solo sounds. For more information on Compression see: Wikipedia Dynamic Range Compression
EQ	Controls the high, mid and low tone	Short for EQualization, these controls allow you to shape the sound of audio by increasing or decreasing the gain of various frequencies. For example, our Tone feature for vocals adds high frequency and reduces low frequency to add “crispness” and reduce “mud” in the signal, making vocals sound more like they would in a recording studio. For more information on Equalization see: Wikipedia Equalization Here’s a handy chart that shows which instruments and sounds occupy various frequency ranges: Independent Recording Network Interactive Frequency Chart

MIDI	Musical Instrument Digital Interface	MIDI, short for Musical Instrument Digital Interface, allows notes, velocity, sustain, control and other messages to be sent digitally from a compatible device. Pronounced “mih-dee”, not “my-die” or “ehm-one-dee-one”. For TC-H devices, MIDI is most commonly used to control key/scale for Harmony and HardTune. Advanced users also use their MIDI devices to control various operations, like changing presets and controlling individual effect blocks. For more information about MIDI, click here: Wikipedia MIDI	IN/OUT/THRU	IN/OUT/THRU	IN/OUT/THRU	IN	IN		IN
MIDI CC	MIDI Continuous Controller messages
USB	Universal Serial Bus	Almost all current TC-H devices have a USB port that can be used to update Firmware and/or presets using our VoiceSupport application. In addition to preset management and firmware updates, some devices, such as VoiceLive 2 and VoiceLive Play GTX can use USB for audio input and output. Check your user manual for details. For more information about USB, see: Wikipedia USB	Stereo	Stereo	Stereo	Stereo	Stereo	Stereo	Stereo
XLR In	Balanced connection	Most commonly used in professional audio applications, XLR cables provide a balanced signal path that is resistant to outside noise and interference. You will need one or more XLR cables to connect your microphone to your TC-H device. For more information about XLR, click here: Wikipedia XLR Connector	1	1	1	1	1	1	1	1	1	1	1	1	1	1	1	1	1	1	1	1	1

TRS In	Tip, Ring, Sleeve	Very similar to an XLR cable in function, these cables provide a balanced signal via a ¼” Tip-Ring-Sleeve connector. Some TC-H devices, such as VoiceLive 2 and VoiceLive Touch, provide TRS output. For more information about TRS, click here: Wikipedia TRS Connector	1	1	1
TRS Out	Tip, Ring, Sleeve	Very similar to an XLR cable in function, these cables provide a balanced signal via a ¼” Tip-Ring-Sleeve connector. Some TC-H devices, such as VoiceLive 2 and VoiceLive Touch, provide TRS output. For more information about TRS, click here: Wikipedia TRS Connector	2	2	2	2	2									2
INST In/Thru	Direct pass through to your amplifier	If your TC-H device has a guitar input, it also has a THRU output. When connected to an amplifier, the THRU connection mutes all internal guitar processing and output, but continues to use incoming guitar signals to determine key/scale via NaturalPlay.
AUX In	Input for mp3 and other stereo audio sources. 1/8" jack	Several TC-H devices offer an Auxiliary input for music tracks. You can use NaturalPlay to “listen” to the Aux input to try and determine key/scale from recorded music.
SPDIF	Digital Coaxial Input/Output	Short for Sony/Phillips Digital Interconnect Format, this optical or coaxial digital connection provides very clean, high resolution digital audio transfer. For more information about SPDIF, click here: Wikipedia SPDIF
Headphone Out	1/8 inch headphone connection
Switch 3 Compatible	Allows use of our Switch3 pedal	Our optional Switch3 pedal can control tons of features on lots of different products, from presets to looping and more! For more information about Switch3, click here: Switch3
EXP Pedal In	Expression pedal input	Expression pedals have long been used with organs and synthesizers to provide control, typically over volume. Some TC-H devices, such as VoiceLive 2 allow connection of an expression pedal. For more information about Expression Pedals, click here: Wikipedia Expression Pedal
