Tips and tricks for working
with the HardTune effect
When you want the "HardTune" sound, choose
►
the "Pop" style.
It takes some practice to sing the right way
►
and get the most out of HardTune. Practice
sliding and gliding from note to note, in order
to emphasize the jumps in pitch provided by
the "Pop" setting. After a while, you will be
able to enhance the effect as you sing.
When you are using HardTune with a wedge
►
monitor or in-ear monitors (IEMs), it's totally
normal to hear some "phasing" type sounds
as your natural voice interacts with the cor-
rected voice output from VL3X.

If you would like subtle correction that still re-
►
spects any key/scale you have set for Harmo-
ny, try the "Correct Natural" style.
To emulate some of the effects used on the
►
Beatles recordings, try the "Gender Bender"
style and turn the Gender control down a few
clicks to slightly lower the sound of your voice.
Any time the HardTune effect is active, Glob-
►
al Pitch Correction settings in the Setup
menu are temporarily overwritten. When the
HardTune effect is turned off, any settings
from Global Pitch Correction will reactivate.
