These effects were ready to go when the upgrade was announced, but once internal testing starting performing with them – there was a major overhaul to how the new effects are controlled for better use in live performance. What’s the current schedule? An internal BETA version has been in test for many weeks. This week, a BETA release will go out to VoiceLive 2 customers picked just before the NAMM show in January. Based -on the results of external and in-house testing everything is focused on a March 15th release date. We take responsibility for it being late (we’ll also take responsibility for what the upgrade brings to VoiceLive 2). Is it ready yet?

That having been said... A software editor is not an update- it is something that should have been included in the original purchase. When you buy any hardware, it comes with software to be able to access the device via computer. You are right that the "studder" effect is an update and there should be no expectation of "free" updates. I am grateful that this one appears to be a free update, and to that I say kudoos to tc helicon. I'm not sure how many people want this "studder" effect anyway. The question I have for tc helicon is why does a software manager have to wait for the update? Joey, do you have an answer for that? And Richie, since I am so immature I have only one thing to say: Is it ready yet? Is it ready yet? Is it ready yet? Is it ready yet? etc. And Shannon:

I have 50+ songs in my sets that must be rearranged when the sets are rearranged. I know it sounds like whinning, but a software manager, alone, could and should have been released at the time the device hit the market. There is no excuse for the company's failure to provide that. The release of the software appears to be held up because of a problem with the studder effect, which will probably be useless anyway for 99.99% of the users. To hold up the software manager for an effect that will most likely not be used is, in my humble opinion, inexcusable.

I was just being silly... I knew it was too late for this beta test... But I WOULD like to be considered for future beta stuff. I use my Voicelive 2 in every set that I play and I play several nights a week, so I could certainly put it though the paces for ya. Thanks Joey..

Essa atualização poderia conter cover dos vocais clássicos como Beatles, Eagles, America etc. Tenho tentado 1 voz up outra down, mas sinto que às vezes o vocal não soa igual. Gostaria de uma solução para isso. Obrigado Oi,sou do Brasil.

There has never been a device for singers that has ever come close to what you guys have done with the Voicelive 2. As far as I'm concerned you can take as long as you need to update your product. You guys have pushed the bar for live vocal processing and there is no one else even in the same league. You guys are in uncharted territory and you guys are setting the standard. Keep up the great work! Oh, by the way, I just bought my second Voicelive 2 for the band. I have been singing for 25 years in all kinds of situations.

Love your product, hate your attitude. How about, "We are really sorry to take a year and a half to do what we should have done in the first place"? How do you release a product before having the software to manage it?

Recognition is faster (guitar input and aux in - I haven't tried the midi). The new fx (stutter etc) are not my style and only listened to a few of the presets. For that style I'm sure the people will love it - they are well done. This beta also cleared up a glitch I had in which when I turned on the unit a loud squeel for a split second could be heard - now gone. Other than that, the beta seems to promise what was mentioned. I haven't looked in to the editing of the expression peddle but again with more time I'll let you know. I have Windows 7 64bit with EMU 0404 sound card, using Reaper. USB hook up is fine for me but had to disconnect the midi in to get it to recognize but this is a known issue/workaround. Cheers for now! Good work TC Helicon!!!!
