DigiTech Vocalist Live 2 Harmony ProcessorVocalist Live Harmonizer 2 uses breakthrough musIQ technology to directly analyze the output of any electric or pre-amplified acoustic guitar (no special MIDI guitars or hex-outputs needed). Then it generates the correct vocal harmony. For example, if you're singing an A over the chords that are generally found in the key of G, Vocalist will harmonize with a C. But, if you then play an A major, the Digitech Vocalist will shift to the C#...because like any good harmony singer, it listens to the guitar! With musIQ, forget about the technology just sing and play! Skip complicated programming and having to analyze each song chord-by-chord; just 1. Plug in your microphone and guitar; 2. Pick a 3rd or 5th-above or below harmony preset; 3. Sing and play — when you want harmony, just step on the footswitch!Patent-pending musIQ technology combines new Note Detection algorithms with state-of-the-art Harmony Generation. The Note Detection section analyzes complex guitar waveforms and determines which notes in each chord are critical to accurate harmony. This information is then fed to an advanced harmony engine that creates harmonies consistent with both the singer's melody and the underlying guitar accompaniment.This totally new, musically-intelligent effects processor hybrid of traditional chordal and scalic harmony modes means that Vocalist Live musIQ harmonies stay true to not only the overall key and song scale, but also localized variations due to chords that aren't part of the global key. You've never heard anything like it!

I am mainly playing solo right now but I also jam with some friends and this thing is just great. I play electric and accoustic guitar, bass, keyboards and doing some original recording. All you do is Just plug in your mike and guitar and sing. Real simple to use that anyone could use it. I have been waiting a loooong time for this harmonizer to come out. I really love it. I think you should give it a try. Don't like it? Just return it for a full refund.
I got excited when I first learned in NAMM reports that this little gizmo was going to be available. I waited months for it to be shipped! I finally got one, and I am not disappointed. Rarely does one find something that lives up to its pre-market hype, but this unit does. It's compact, well built, and does exactly what it says it will do in the promos. What a relief to not have to program or tweak a set of knobs or worry about whether you set the thing correctly as you head into a live performance tune. I have to say I was a bit cynical as to its promised performance when I ordered it, but after talking with the sales rep, I opted to buy and one and try it out. This one isn't going back. While it's not perfect for every song you might sing, it is definitely a major plus on a lot of tunes. I chose the Vocalist Live 2 over the more expensive and feature-full Live 4 because I WANTED simplicity and didn't need 4-part harmony with me. Three part is fine, plus my duo partner sings, too, so that adds one more part if I want it. Bottom line? Worth the money. Gripes? You gotta sing on tune or it does weird, warblling things. It's not too forgiving in the "off key" department. And you have to play at least a triad for it to "think" a harmony part for what you're singing. Best feature? It remembers your last chord and harmonizes against that even if not playing...great feature for a capella moments. Conclusion? Best thing for a guitar player/vocalist since the invention of the drum machine!
