Will musIQ vocal harmony technology work for every song I play, no matter what strumming style or pattern I use?
For every song? Well…in a word…no! In order to generate the best harmonies possible, it is important to have a rich enough bed of information over which to create the harmony voicings. We have tested this technology over a wide range of playing styles and have found that the vast majority of styles work well. However some syles – for example those featuring extremely sparse strumming patterns – may not produce the harmonies you are after.
