Live FX by DigiTech
®
. The Live FX is a
feature-packed live vocal effects processor which incorporates the latest musIQ
®
technology, studio-grade channel strip and vocal effects processing, Live Adapt™,
harmony generation, pitch correction, dbx
®
Advanced Feedback Suppression, and a
built-in phrase looper. This combination of features provides you with professional,
studio quality vocal effects when performing on-stage.
The Live FX begins with a global channel strip processing chain, referred to as the
“Gold Channel” effects. This global set of 8 effects is used in all presets, providing
the sonic foundation for your vocal sound. The Gold Channel effects comprise:
Warmth, dbx
®
Compression, Pitch Correction, Lexicon
®
Ambience, 3-Band EQ,
De-Essing, Noise Gating, and Low Cut.
Next are the “Vocal” effects. From Lexicon reverbs, to distortion and harmony
effects, the Vocal effects are perfect for adding polish, texture, movement, and
excitement to your vocals.
One of the most signicant features of the Live FX is Live Adapt™. Live Adapt uses
the built-in analysis microphone or Aux In jack to provide automatic, real-time effect
tempo adjustment, smart gating of non-vocal signals (built-in microphone only), and
intelligent harmony generation using the detected key of the music.
Three rugged footswitches provide preset A/B part selection, preset navigation,
bypassing of the Vocal effects, and hands-free control of the built-in phrase looper.
The rear panel boasts all the necessary connections for the performing singer,
including a USB port for rmware updates and preset management using the free
Vocalist Live Librarian software for Mac and PC.
With a quick-access user interface, a plethora of studio-quality effects, dbx Advanced
Feedback Suppression, and state-of-the-art processing technologies, the Live FX
gives you the tools you need to take center stage with condence.
musIQ
®
& Live Adapt™
musIQ is a revolutionary chord detection technology that analyzes the audio in
real time and determines what notes are being played, while the musIQ harmony
engine is capable of interpreting this note data along with the pitch of the singer to
determine the most musically correct harmony note to generate.
The Live FX’s Live Adapt feature uses this technology to provide even further
functionality by adapting the noise gate threshold, the pitch effect key, and the
modulation and delay effect tempo settings. With musIQ & Live Adapt, the Live FX
can adapt to changes in your music, creating a truly dynamic performance.
