In A Rackmount Chasis

          We’ve designed VoiceLive Rack for recording studio set-ups, touring, or for guitarists & keyboard players who use rack-mount performance gear. Whether you’re constructing a giant vocal track for your latest tune or mixing front-of-house at today’s tour stop, VoiceLive Rack delivers the vocal power and magic you need.

MP-75 Included

          VoiceLive Rack comes with the MP-75, a breakthrough mic built for live performance. It has Mic ControlTM: the button on the mic allows you to control your effects remotely. That means you can turn on harmony, doubling, reverb, delay - all of your effects -
from the mic.

The Perfect Interface

1. Intuitive Touch access to browse, edit and store all parameters.

2.   Easy-to-read display of preset details with navigation by button or wheel; mix knobs for value adjustment.

3.   Touch activation of all vocal FX.

4. High-quality In-Out for your computer with all of the I/O connections you’ll need including MIDI, XLR, ¼” and AUX for MP3.

Locked & Loaded For Vocals

          You’ll have all the vocal effects that have made our VoiceLive® series of processors so popular – in just the right format to inspire you in the studio or with your live tech setup. There are hundreds of fully editable presets. We keep you up to date with even more presets through free downloads. If you dream it, VoiceLive Rack does it.

Vocal FX Highlights

    •    Effects made famous in our VoiceLive® series
    •    Over 200 factory or 400 user presets for a wide sonic range with room to grow
    •    Global Tone automatically produces your core vocal sound with adaptive EQ, compression and de-essing with manual over-ride
    •    Auto sensing of harmony control instrument to minimize setup time and allow instrument swapping in performance

µMod

          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

Delay

          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

Reverb

          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

Double

          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

Harmony

          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

Rythmic

          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.

Transducer

          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

More Power, More Voices

          VoiceLive Rack contains all the effects you need to produce vocal sounds of decades past, and into the future:

    •    State-of-the-art dedicated vocal processor
    •    Separate harmony and doubling blocks
    •    Improved Reverb, Tap Delay, µMod
    •    FX block for T-Pain effect, megaphone, distortion
    •    Global effects including Tone, pitch correction, and Guitar FX
    •    All effects can be used simultaneously

Natural Play Harmonies

          Guided by a guitar signal, aux feed from a mixing console, a MIDI keyboard or even no instrument at all, VoiceLive Rack has brilliant vocal harmonies. There are up to 8 voices with MIDI keyboard control or 4 doubled harmony intervals. Set your harmonies from smooth and natural to extreme vocal pitch shifting. Achieve complete customization with adjustable gender and humanization for some mind-bending possibilities.

Tone That Adapts

          Like a great audio engineer, VoiceLive Rack’s Adaptive Tone™ feature listens to you and adjusts automatically to make your voice sound smooth and produced:

    •    Studio grade adaptive EQ, compression and de-ess reduce muddiness and contain dynamics automatically
    •    Adaptive gate fights stage leakage between vocal phrases
    •    Manual over-rides offer additional user control

New Rhythmic FX Series

We think you’re gonna love VoiceLive Rack’s beat-bending possibilities: 
    •    Rhythmic Sample lets you create ‘delay-freeze’-style effects for freezing parts of your vocal performance, as in Fat Boy Slim’s "Praise You".
    •    Rhythmic Stutter - patterns and waveforms to control the level of the voice to create tap tempo gating effects and more.
    •    Rhythmic Gender applies randomized gender patterns, pushing the HardTune effect in vivid new directions.

Reverb and Delay Ducking

          Increase the sustaining tail of your reverb and delay effects while carving out plenty of room for your lyrics with ducking. The level of the effects is reduced while you sing and then subtly increases after your last syllable. Of course, this is all automatic.

Touch Interface: Unique & Easy

          The lightest tap on a button is all it takes to activate effects. Navigate around the features and presets with an ease that becomes addictive. Use the weighted encoder to browse presets, then touch a button to turn an effect on or off. Want to quickly make an adjustment? Just push and hold an effect button to jump directly to its edit block.

Pristine audio For Computer

          VoiceLive Rack is a USB audio device that allows you to get high quality audio in and out of your computer – without a separate sound card. This makes it great for tracking vocals.

More Control With Switch-3

          Add a Switch-3 accessory pedal to your setup to extend your on-the-fly control of VoiceLive Rack’s features. Put a Boost pedal on the first switch, your favorite Delay on the second, and Tap Tempo on the third – or any custom combination of Vocal FX.
