If I had a perfect MIDI guitar or a guitar-to-MIDI pedal, would I be able to make non-musIQ harmony processors (with MIDI support) sound as good as musIQ vocal harmony?
No. The musIQ harmony engine was designed from the ground up to give the most natural sounding harmonies ever. There are several things that make musIQ vocal harmony technology superior to pre-musIQ harmony processors or guitar-to-midi pedal solutions. we look at the lead vocal and guitar accompaniment as a coherent musical unit in order to get better voice leading and avoid blocky sounding harmony. As well, we’ve put considerable effort into modelling the way guitar players strum in order to get the best possible information to drive harmony generation.
