Scale mode tip
Often the key and scale can be set to the first or
last chord in a song e.g. G Major. You can try the
alternate major and minor scale settings in
VoicePro to suit the song. If no key and scale
settings seem to work, then a custom scale can be
crafted or you can use the other MIDI controlled
presets based on Notes and Chord harmony
modes.

Troubleshooting
If you are having trouble producing harmony, go through
the questions below to make sure the most common items
are configured correctly.
1. Are VoicePro’s Harmony MIDI channels set to the same
values as your sequencer or keyboard?
2. Is the MIDI indicator showing MIDI input?
3. Do you have the correct input selected i.e. digital or
analog, voice or aux?
4. Is the vocal sung to an instrument properly tuned to
A=440Hz?
