The Live 3 is a 3-Part Vocal Harmonizer and Pitch Correction Pedal for Guitarists



Salt Lake City, UT (January 8, 2010) -- DigiTech has announced the newest addition to the Vocalist product line, the Live 3. The Live 3 provides guitarists a 3-part vocal harmony, pitch correction, and vocal pre-effects in a single pedal.

The new Vocalist Live 3 is a powerful yet easy-to-use intelligent vocal harmony processor that automatically generates live multi-part vocal harmony by analyzing guitar chord progressions and the lead voice. The Live 3 gives virtually all artists, soloists and groups alike the ability to perform more songs that in the past had been considered too difficult without professionally trained backup vocalists.

The Live 3 combines studio-quality audio performance, state-of-the-art vocal processing, and an easy-to-use control interface to add up to two separate voices of harmony to a lead vocal to create a full 3-part, natural-sounding vocal performance. The Live 3 has Gender Control that gives each harmonizing voice a masculine or feminine sound. Users can customize the natural sound of the harmonizing voices from loose to tight by adjusting the Humanize setting.

Using patented musIQ technology, the Live 3 continually follows the notes being played on the guitar and the lead voice to generate accurate and musically correct vocal harmonies. musIQ eliminates the need to pre-program the songs’ key or key changes to create get accurate harmonies, making the Live 3 much easier to use.

“The Live 3 is the tool performers are searching for to capture the audiences’ attention and take their performance to the next level.” stated Scott Klimt, Marketing Manager for Vocalist.

The Live 3 is designed to enhance and improve virtually every vocal performance using pitch-correction with Humanize Control and vocal pre-effects. The pitch correction in the Live 3 has the most natural sound available on the market. There are also five different vocal pre-effects available in the Live 3 to help give the vocals a high quality, professional-grade studio sound. These effects include warmth (tube preamp), compression, EQ, and Noise Gate. There are three different room settings for reverb and five separate delay settings for vocals. The Live 3 also has guitar effects, reverb and chorus along with a guitar tuner.

The Vocalist Live 3 is now shipping with a MSRP of $429.95 in the US.

I've been using the Vocalist 2 since they first hit the market. Love it for what it is and does! The V4 is overkill with the number of harmonies.

I remember telling someone Digidesign shold add a random algorithm to a delay effect (Humanizer on the Vocalist 3) and look forward to hearing it. If it sounds decent, the Gender control is the main difference here but probably not enough to make me upgrade from my Vocalist 2.

"Fan-Bloody-Tastic" a real step up on the Vocalist Live 2. Although now makes the choice to get the Vocalist Live 4 harder to make, not so clear cut now.

I love my Live 4, saving up for the harmony Man pedal!!!

The Harmony Man does for guitar what the Vocalists Live 4 do for Vocals.
