I'm selling my Voiceworks. This is a vocal channel, effects unit,
harmonizer, and so much more. It is a 1U rack or desktop module. It is
designed for you to plug in a mic, allow it to completely process your
voice, and pass the results along to your recorder or DAW.
 
Here are some features:
 
* XLR mic input with preamp, or line level input from your own audio
source
* Noise gate for filtering out  background noise
* Compressor for smoothing voice dynamics
* EQ for shaping your voice's tone
* Automatic pitch correction of your vocal to any major or minor scale,
or manually set your own custom scale. Correction amount/sensitivity is
configurable, so you can have smooth correction to help you undetectably
hit notes better, or have hard correction to sound like T-Pain/Kanye
West.
* Four independent device-generated harmony parts. These parts can be
set to double your voice for thickening, sing at fixed intervals to the
note that you sing, automatically generate harmonies based on the notes
that you sing in your lead, or sing the notes that you play on your MIDI
keyboard. Each voice has adjustable formant (change voice character:
man/woman/adult/child), and has independent settings for vibrato type,
vibrato depth, and random timing to help each voice sound like an
individual vocalist instead of just a pitch shifted copy of your lead
vocal.
* Vocal doubling effect for the lead vocal (better than a simple
chorus).
* Dedicated effects unit, including classic TC Helicon reverb and delay
algorithms.
* Foot switch support for toggling harmonies
 
All of these features can be active at once. You can plug in your mic,
and have a preset where your vocal runs through a gate, compressor, and
eq to clean up the signal, the pitch corrector keeps you on key, the
doubler thickens up your voice, all 4 harmonizer voices can
automatically generate harmonies to follow you, and the entire vocal mix
goes through reverb and delay before reaching the Voiceworks's output
and heading on to your DAW. Units like this are basically vocals in a
box. They're spectacular for rapidly throwing vocals on a demo without
having to track lots of background vocals, and they're great for
enhancing live vocals on a gig.
 
This device is also very accessible. All of the settings for a preset
are accessed through 8 buttons on the front panel. There are 4 buttons,
1 for each of the harmonizer voices, plus buttons for the main
harmonizer function, voice doubler, effects, and pitch corrector. If you
press one of these buttons, the function assigned to that button is
turned on or off. This lets you turn off a few of your harmony voices,
toggle effects, or switch pitch correction in/out with a single button
press. If you quickly press the button twice, then you enter the
menu/settings for that feature. The menus are very simple. You use an
up/down arrow to move through the settings in that menu, and turn a data
dial to make a change while you listen to the effects of the change in
real time. For example, if you want to change harmony voice 3, you just
press the harmony 3 voice button twice, and then arrow down through the
voices of volume, pan, key shift, formant, vibrato type, and vibrato
amount. Since the functions are split up like this, the menus aren't
very long, and they don't wrap, so you can easily find the setting that
you want.
 
 
I have notes on the contents of the menus, and will provide these to the
buyer. Even so, the menus are fairly simple, so the notes aren't very
long.
 
This has been an amazing piece of equipment to own. It sounds great,
and, while TC Helicon made several models like this, the Voiceworks is
their all-in-one. It isn't just a harmonizer or a pitch corrector, it is
everything together in one box.
 
Still, upgrades call me, and I'll be purchasing the very new, and very
expensive VoiceLive II with even more features. The Voiceworks is still
very capable, though, and I'm sure that someone on here would greatly
enjoy it.
 
I've used this Voiceworks in my smoke-free home studio for a little less
than two years. It has never been on a gig. It is in perfect shape, both
functional and cosmetic. It will come to you in the original box, like
new.
 
I'll accept $400.

Credit card: I'll accept credit card payment through PayPal. Will ship

Shipping in the lower 48 states will be $20. I'm open to sell this
equipment internationally, but you'll be responsible for covering
shipping and any other duties/fees in advance.
 
I have many references on and off the list, and will provide them if you
request.

Thanks
