Sent you an email.
I have done all the adjustments.
I send the dump, the input light goes on, and all the other lights go OFF.
The dump finishes, nothing happens.
Holding the two buttons when I power on shows "0".
It seems to work, but of course all my settings are gone, and no improvements have been made.
Of course TC Helicon has not answered my emails. I am using Yamaha USB-midi Interface UX-16 and Midi Ox.
I will give it another day of trying, then I'm going to unload with unfavorable reviews on every forum I can find, including the pages of the companies that sell it.
If you are in contact with them, you can tell them this if you wish.
Thanks for any help you can give.
DonM

I was looking for some feedback on this product.

What do you think it?
Is it easy to use?
Are the harmonies better than harmonizer in the Yamaha?
Can it be used as a stand alone unit, without midi?

What’s the difference between the Harmony-M and the TC Doubler?

Thanks, Mario

I would really like to buy this unit and I did some research online, but I need feedback from actual owners like Donm, and who ever else has it.

Hi Don,
I have replied to your message. If the Harmony does not re-boot automatically it hasn't worked.

Maybe someone on SZ can lend you an older interface? As I said in my message if I was in the USA I would ship mine to you express.

Dennis.

PS: I know it DOES work because my unit works beautifully, and shows 8. when checking the OS. The chord recognition is now about as quick as the PA800, or the G70. It also doesn't seem to "mess up" intervals anymore either, particularly when it's sent a late, quick, chord change.

Thanks Dennis,
I have an old Roland MPU midi connector that uses Serial Port, but so far my computer won't find it, and I can't find a driver for it either.
I'll try some more tomorrow. I left everything at the club.

My experience with TCs Customer Service Department has been abysmal at best. They did not return emails, when I finally was able to get a telephone number the technician I talked with put me on hold for over an hour, then he said he wasn't familiar with the Harmony M so he would have someone else to call me. I gave him my phone number and never hear from them again. I called three more times and each time was told the same thing. Additionally, my Harmony M came with the wrong owners manual (harmony-G). I was told on five occasions that one would be sent right away. I provided them with my mailing address each time. I still do not have the manual after six months. GC said they will order another Harmony M and give me the manual that comes with the new unit. That was a month ago.

Just another fun day in Paradise,

Gary

These guys are real bozos. My Harmony M already came with the latest software as I recently purchased it. It displayed .8 in the display. But the website says that build 17 is the latest and if my display doesn't say .7, then I don't have the latest software.

I spent all this time downloading, and of course, my unit kept on saying .8.

I told customer support that my unit had .8, and how could I get the download to work. Instead of updating the text of their website or knowing their behind from a hole in the wall, they have been sending me emails about how to change my buffers.

This unit works pretty well. For recording, I recommend creating a dedicated track with the chords perfectly played (no embelishments). Then, if you sing in tune, you should get very nice harmonies.

As I am using this unit just for recording, I am seriously considering Melodyne Studio 3, as you can create harmonies that are exact replicas of your voice instead of the android harmonies that these harmonizers create.

Beakybird,
8. IS the latest version, they just have not updated the website.

So if your unit says 8. you do not have to update anything!!

Although why they have not is something I can understand.
