Re: A Thread just for the New IH (AKA- Smart Harmony Pitch glide?)

I've played with them on my M13, and just so people are clear - the Smart Harmony and Pitch Glide are two separate effects.

Both of them seem to track fine to me. The Pitch Glide does a much, much better job of imitating a Whammy then the Bender effect ever did. As far as the Smart Harmony, the only real point of reference I have to compare it to is the IH on the TC Electronic Nova System. To me they sound comparable, although, honestly I can't see myself ever really using that effect in a live situation.

I'm actually way more stoked about the other new effects on the M13. The Particular Verb, Pattern Tremolo, and the Barber Phaser especially. Those are just some cool effects, and they were totally unexpected.

Pod X3/Live Hardware able to handle? **ATTN: Any Line6 Staff**

I am hopign this *is* on topic as this is a generic IH thread...

I know Line6 will not ever divulge if the Smart harmony/pitch glide will be available for Pod X3 (or even XT), whether it be a freebie, or a pay to upgrade deal,

however, I'm sure someone from Line6 could tell us if the X3 series has the horsepower (processor + memory) to handle this add-on in any aspect? And if it did, woudl the quality be the same as in the stompbox models?

Again, I'm not asking for promises ehre, just knwoiign if it is possible or not in the current hardware.

Thanx in advance

Re: A Thread just for the New IH (AKA- Smart Harmony Pitch glide?)

both are killer IMO

The pitch glide surpasses the Digitech Whammy I just traded in by a mile. Tracks and bends more than one note at a time just fine.

I'm also using the IH set for key of E major with a 3rd down in the heel down position, and a 5th up in the toe down position for the solo in Linda Ronstant's "When Will I Be Loved" .

The band collectively dropped their jaws to the floor when I pulled it off...I'm in love with the M13

Re: A Thread just for the New IH (AKA- Smart Harmony Pitch glide?)

I'm sorry my good dudes! That was not my intent..

If it makes you feel better, I found out that the IH won't do 3 part harmonies like the digitech HM.

Honestly guys, they planned it this way...just come to the dark side of the M13...you know resistance is futile anyways..it's the Line 6 circle of life

This is gonna happen to me, too when they come out with the new Variax

LOL! Nah, I'm cool with one voice harmonies. That's all I ever asked for, and they delivered! So, the tracking is good?

Re: A Thread just for the New IH (AKA- Smart Harmony Pitch glide?)

LOL oh no!

Not tried a bass through it, but it has a Bass Octaver that sounded very nice compared to ones I've heard before.

I'll have to hook it up to my X3L and Vax bass and try that M13 in the loop one of these days...but not quite yet. I'm just doing the 4cable method for the first time with my amp for using live.

I'm sure it would be great with bass, though..I don't see why not..

IMO if in doubt, pout. Christmas is coming

So how does it handle polyphonics? Even just 2 notes?

Hmmm, 3 part harmonies, is it time you got an M9 to go with the M13?
