Description

Quick Product Summary

The TC-Helicon Harmony Singer is a compact vocal harmony processor designed specifically for singing guitarists. By analysing the chords played through its guitar input, it automatically creates musically appropriate harmony voices that follow your vocal performance.

This used example is in Good condition, showing visible signs of previous ownership and regular use. With selectable one- and two-voice harmonies, built-in reverb and TC-Helicon Adaptive Tone processing, it provides an easy way to add polished backing vocals to solo and band performances.

What Makes the TC-Helicon Harmony Singer Special?

Rather than requiring you to program song keys or scales manually, the Harmony Singer listens to the chords being played through the guitar input and uses that information to generate suitable vocal harmonies. Eight harmony arrangements provide voices above, below or on both sides of your lead vocal.

The built-in Adaptive Tone processing automatically applies EQ, compression, de-essing and gating to help produce a clearer and more controlled vocal sound. Three reverb styles — Room, Club and Hall — provide additional ambience without requiring a separate vocal effects processor.

Who Is It For?

The Harmony Singer is ideal for singer-songwriters, acoustic performers and singing guitarists who want convincing backing-vocal harmonies without another vocalist or a complicated multi-effects processor.

Its straightforward controls and footswitch operation make it particularly useful for live performance, open-mic setups, rehearsals and compact acoustic rigs.

FAQs

What does the TC-Helicon Harmony Singer do?

It adds automatically generated harmony voices to your singing, using the chords from a connected guitar to determine musically appropriate harmony notes.

How many harmony voices can it produce?

It can add either one or two harmony voices alongside your lead vocal.

Does it need to know what key the song is in?

The Harmony Singer primarily follows the chords being played through its guitar input, so there is no need to manually program the key for normal guitar-controlled operation.

What harmony arrangements are available?

The Harmony control offers eight arrangements combining voices above and below the lead vocal, including High, Higher, Low, Lower and several two-voice combinations.

Does the guitar sound pass through the pedal?

Yes. The dedicated guitar Thru output allows the guitar signal to continue to your amplifier or PA while the Harmony Singer analyses the chords for vocal harmony generation.

Does it add effects to the guitar?

No. The guitar connection is primarily used to guide the vocal harmony processing. Your guitar signal passes through to the dedicated Thru output.

What reverb effects are included?

The pedal provides Room, Club and Hall reverb styles, with adjustable effect amount.

What is Adaptive Tone?

Adaptive Tone automatically applies vocal EQ, compression, de-essing and gating to help create a clearer and more polished vocal sound.

Does it provide phantom power?

Yes. The original Harmony Singer provides 24V phantom power, which is active whenever the unit is powered.

What does holding the footswitch do?

Holding the footswitch activates Talk mode, which temporarily removes the harmony and reverb processing while leaving Adaptive Tone active for speaking to an audience.

Can it work with an optional TC-Helicon microphone?

Yes. Compatible TC-Helicon microphones such as the MP-75 can provide additional remote effect control through the Mic Control function.

Can guitar effects pedals still be used?

Yes. Guitar effects are best connected after the Harmony Singer's guitar Thru output, so the Harmony Singer receives a clean guitar signal for accurate chord detection.

Can it run from batteries?

The original Harmony Singer is designed for external DC power and does not provide the AA battery operation found on the later Harmony Singer 2.

Is this the Harmony Singer 2?

No. This listing is for the original first-generation TC-Helicon Harmony Singer.

Is a power supply included?

No. No power supply is included with this used unit.

What condition is this example in?

This example is graded Good, with visible cosmetic signs of previous use consistent with a pre-owned vocal effects pedal.
