Home › Forums › Help/Technical Questions › Can I Use Voice-Box Harmony Machine on a Trumpet During Live Performance
Can I use the Voice box to run a trumpet dry in, and harmonize the output? Or do you have something better?
Not sure how it would track or sound, but I’m sure you could.
Hog would be good too- the tracking is excellent on the HOG, and it’s more flexible in the harmonies you can do- but it doesn’t do intelligent harmonies. It does cost twice as much though.
I’d suggest finding friends or stores with the products and checking them out, as well as other alternatives.
The voice box would be convenient though because of that XLR in, but you could always get an XLR -> 1/4″ cable.
me and my friend were experimenting with the voice box a few weeks ago. running a stylophone in gave us a weird church organ, and a coffee grinder sounded like an air raid siren. the voice box doesn’t really KNOW what to do with stuff like that, but it still harmonized nicely. the stylophone was a tad glitchy but we weren’t holding the mic very steady so im pretty sure it was only glitching because it wasn’t receiving a strong enough signal.
playing a trumpet would be identical to singing oooohs and ahhhhs as far as the voice box is concerned and it will harmonize them accordingly; the only issue is that the harmonies MIGHT sound funny because the vb is meant to duplicate the human voice.
that being said, it sounded fine with the weird stuff i’ve put through it, and it will still sound less ‘synthy’ than the hog/pog/whammy will. just hook a guitarist into the instrument input and have fun!
Thanks……I’ll ask around to see if I can get a hold of one or just got ahead and take a chance and buy it.
