Playing around with settings for my Voicelive 2, I’m reminded how annoying it is to bend down and adjust each and every setting. I ran across a thread on VoiceCouncil which discusses an editor for VoiceLive 2.
An editor is simply a program that runs on your computer and connects to your VoiceLive 2 pedal via USB. You then use the editor to adjust the settings from your laptop, rather than through the controls on the pedal itself.
There are two options that I know of currently:
- Ginsonic’s VoiceLive 2 editor
- VoiceLiveEditor.com’s VoiceLive 2 editor
Ginsonic’s VoiceLive 2 Editor
In the post referenced above, a VoiceLive 2 user named Ginsonic chimed in and linked his personal VoiceLive 2 editor on the thread. I have used the 1.02 version for a while now and really enjoy it.
Sadly, the box.com links that Ginsonic referenced in the thread no longer work. Until I find a replacement, here is the version that I have:
I’d love it if Ginsonic came back and let me know where he has it stored now.
A few of the features that I’d like to play with aren’t immediately obvious. Harmony settings, for example, can be adjusted through the editor, but I’m at a loss to understand how to set the key.
VoiceLiveEditor.com’s Editor
VoiceLiveEditor.com has a variety of editor’s available. The two that I was interested in are:
These editors are Windows only, unfortunately. Since I run on a Mac, I ran the demo version under Wine and confirmed that it ran. I have not yet confirmed that running it via Wine allows the editor to connects to a VoiceLive 2. I’ll test that out in the coming days.
Any Others?
These are the only two that I know of at the moment. If anyone else knows of another, please share. It’s far, far nicer to adjust settings standing up than bending over.
Hi Alex,
It’s nice to discover your website. I am french saxophonist and I’ve just bought a voice live touch 2. I am working on mac OSX and I would be very interested to know if the voice live editor works with the VLT2 thanks to Wine. I’ve tried with VirtualBox and even if it’s possible to launch the software it’s impossible to detect the VLT2… Thanks for your advices and the nice videos…
Hi there Stef,
I’ve been using something called VL-Editor. I think it’s for OSX, and I think it’s different from the one at voiceliveeditor.com. I have that one, too, and that seems to be working with XQuartz.
I just fired up both of them and they both seem to work, but I don’t have my pedal with me at the moment so I’ll have to confirm that they can communicate with the VL2 later. To my recollection they can.
Of course, I don’t have the Touch so I can’t confirm that either of the programs work with the VLT2. Did you ever get it working?
Cheers,
-Alex
Hi,
I downloaded VL2_Editor_1_02_VL2-Firmware_1.5_OSX
but when I try to launch it, it says that the file is damaged so cant be opened.
Can u send it to me through “wetransfer.com” please?
Got my email in the section I filled 😉
Thanx dude.
Hey there, sorry it took a while to notice your comment.
Did you ever get it to work? It’s probably something to do Mac OS’s GateKeeper:
– https://apple.stackexchange.com/questions/262355/xxx-cant-be-opened-you-should-move-it-to-trash-for-flash-projector-applicat
Probably because it’s from some unidentified developer. It’s worth running it through some virus checks, if you like, but if you’re happy to give it another try I think you need to turn off the GateKeeper checks.
Let me know if that helps!
