Slide your FX
With a swipe of your finger on the Slider Bar, you can create truly unique FX riffs. They are talking about real-time, fluid manipulation of your sound. From a subtle filter to a crazy stutter, you can modulate, intensify or pitch-sweep effects - it also works on one or all of your loops.

Vocal FX Highlights

Mmod
MuMod, pronounced "micro mod" contains effects that chorus, flange or otherwise modulate the signal. These effects can range from subtle to extreme.

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.

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.

Harmony
Likely the most popular and impressive of TC Electronic 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, they think you'll never want to sing without it.

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.

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.

Rythm
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.

Hardtune
Some people know it as the Cher or T-Pain effect.They 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.

Harmony - Any Way You Want
Create up to four part harmonies instantly. Don't worry about setting the key - Touch 2 can listen to the chords from MIDI, from your room using its RoomSense mics or plug in a guitar. Customize your sound from realistic 3rd above to synthetic multi voice choirs.

Artistic Pedigree
A strong artist community helped them develop VoiceLive 2 - like international rising star Kimbra who helped define touch 2's MIDI abilities for use with real time controllers. A true power user, watch her seamlessly weave 8 different vocal effects into her live performance of "Love In High Places".

Personal Sound Engineer Included
VoiceLive Touch 2 automatically takes care of vocal tone with adaptive EQ, compression, de-essing and gating. This frees you up to focus on your performance with a full suite of vocal effects including reverb, doubling and those uncanny TC-Helicon vocal harmonies.

Practice Favorite Tracks with Vocal Cancel
Singing along is a great way to practice and perform. Plug in your MP3 player via the AUX In connector and use the Vocal Cancel feature to make your voice stand out over the vocals on the original track. Record and play back your singing using the USB connection to your computer and DAW.

Under The Looping Hood
Looping on VoiceLive Touch 2 is instant action, quick access and do-it-now oriented while offering extensive creative control of independent loop tracks. The addition of loop-specific FX, makes the looper in VoiceLive Touch 2 the most versatile and exciting power tool in the VoiceLive series.

Loops In Perfect Sync
Touch 2 offers extensive control via MIDI input and CC's, but the real kicker is the ability to slave your loops to the BPM of your favorite DAW and thus combine the power of live expression with preprogrammed creativity. Case in point: Gavin Castleton's inspired integration of Touch 2 with MIDI keytar and Ableton Live.

Six Track Powerhouse
Having up to six independent tracks for looping allows you to fire on all vocal cylinders and play your voice like an instrument, muting and unmuting tracks on the fly for cool intensity shifts - or triggering each sample as Shots, creating drum & bass like effects, vocal mash-ups or playing your vocals back like synthesizer samples.

HIT is a performance-inspired feature for building intensity into any vocal performance. Every preset gains an A/B function via the HIT button - press to add dazzling effects for the chorus or strip it down for the verse, you decide.

Find Your FX - Fast
When you choose an effect you'll immediately see a unique icon making it easier to quickly find the sound you're looking for. They call it icon based editing - it's intuitive and simple. They've also given you focused parameters for each of the main effects styles; you can set things like level, decay, drive, filter and more...
