The DigiTech Vocalist Live FX Vocal Effects Processor does a lot more than vocal 'expansion.' It does all the things I want for compression, reverb, etc but it also does pitch correction. That's novel but the beauty part is it can dial the gender of the resulting harmony.
The ability to harmonize is what was intriguing about the Digitech model used by the Mystery Lady sometime in the mid-90's. That unit generated harmonies based on a melody fed to it via MIDI whereas this model uses a microphone to pick up the band, hence the name Live FX, and will generate harmony based on music it picks up that way. The result is one or more digital harmonies.
The Mystery Lady and I had all kinds of fun screwing around with it but controlling the original one was more cumbersome relative to the foot switches which control this one. You want harmonies to come in and out at the right times, etc.
Finding pitch correction wasn't important to me but it's interesting to see that in a device for $200 since many cost considerably more. The value is clear as I know the name already, the capability is significantly more than I need, the price is low as anything less is not much good quality or is too simple, and reviews are good.
(Ed: the fish is hooked?)
Yes.
Unclear how this will happen but nothing will stop it until one of those gadgets gets here. The unit is definitely a tool and important for that reason but it's still damn cool that it's got some excellent features which are way out on the toy side.
Mystery Lady should sing the "Colorful" song as she would so murder it. People would fall to the floor weeping ... but they'd be loving it.
Note: the Digitech unit is not solely for this song as I've already written "The End of the World in Fort Worth" needs lyrics.
There's a week to consider the move and as of this moment everything says do it.
