All you do is tell it which MIDI channel to use.

If voice live can do EXACTLY this,,, I want to see it.
At the last Sweetwater gearfest I ask the guys from TC and they said, no we can not have you play notes and have the pitch correction follow...


You're right, Lee, pretty well any standard midi file will work, as long as it has the melody notes. Of course it's easy to make your own, too.

You then set the midi channel so the VH-2 can track the melody.

Pretty simple, but, very effective indeed.

As far as I can tell, playing the notes in the right hand has nothing to do with the actual pitch being sung, but is used to advance the midi file...there is a feature in the Clavinova where you play along with a midi file, and the lights above the keys show you which note to play next...it has a mode where it will wait for you to play the correct note, and thus advance further in the song.

The Tyros4 has the same feature, but does not have the lights.

I believe Craig is using that "wait" mode to advance the SMF in the video.

It appears the majority of those negatively criticizing this great feature are the ones who don't have, or can't have, it on their arranger vocal harmonizer.

I think it will be a great addition.
