Getting to know VL3X
VL3X – Reference manual (updated 2015-07-16) 48
What is NaturalPlay?
A device creating harmony voices and correcting
what you are singing to the right scale is a won-
derful thing. But how do you tell that device what
key the next song is in? Do you have to program
it as part of a Preset? Do you have to set it up for
each song? What if you get it wrong on stage?
NaturalPlay to the rescue! If you have a gui-
tar connected to VL3X, it will automatically
guide key and scale for any Harmony voices or
HardTune effects. You don’t need to make any
changes to the system for this to work. Just play
your guitar normally (chords work best) and sing!
Similarly, if you connect a MIDI-enabled key-
board using a MIDI cable, VL3X will follow your
playing to determine key/scale for Harmony voic-
es and HardTune.
If you sing to pre-produced tracks and don’t
have a guitar or MIDI keyboard connected, VL3X
will read key/scale information from a music
signal present at the Aux jack – this might be a
song from an MP3 player or smartphone. Finally,
VL3X can also read key/scale information from
the Monitor In jack.
As you see, NaturalPlay has you covered – no
matter what your setup is.
