Uses chords played to determine harmonies provided - does it work well with finger style playing? ie: single notes?

I'm not really sure. Although, I do use the double voice when I play "Blackbird" and it stays on key. That's about the only finger picking tune I do. I would think as long as the notes are going into the box....it'll pick them up. You can also set the key manually if you like. Sorry I can't be if more help on that

Single notes, No....Single note finger rolls that make up at least 3 notes of the chord you're in..Fair. Important....notes built around a chord change must be dead on, or slightly ahead. I do like this piece of gear, but it doesn't read minds.

Yes it will. It may take a bit of practice, because the pedal generates harmony's via the root note, however I read somewhere it can be adjusted to your tastes with experimentation.

Only if you're playing chords at the same time. If you're playing melody and hitting a chord every once in a while...it's not really the best.

I don't know if it will help or not, but I had to try various settings on all the dials/knobs on the harmonizer, as well as on my amp, till I could get a decent sound, but I finally did. Then, I marked, with fingernail polish, every single setting, because of even one of them got changed slightly, it threw everything off. I should also tell you that I have a second guitar that I use tried to use it with, and it just WILL NOT adjust - cannot get a decent sound with that one. Good luck to you - hope it works out.

It adds harmonics to any sound that goes through it, so yes it "works" with chords but it will have to be the right chord and dialed in correctly to sound any good.

https://m.reddit.com/comments/286hv7Check the above link out - video of someone who plugged in a violin and how exactly they tuned it to the game- like someone else said you'd have to figure out yourself how notes correlate to the tablature which will be a complication and also just a downside to the game as you won't be able to read music afterwards

I never tried with a live music so I can't comment on how well it works, but it definitely works with my hand clapping. On every clap (beat, I suppose), the color changes to something random. Of course, the frequency of the color change depends on the speed of the beat (or hand clapping in my case)

Yes, very well. I have a Yamaha electronic piano and it picked up the chords from the piano sound and Fender Rhodes sound just fine. I was surprised that it seemed to find nice harmonies when I was playing Maj7th and 9th chords. One thing to note: The "guitar" input is a mono unbalanced input. So if your piano has a stereo output, it will come out mono after it goes out the "Thru". So, if you have any kind of mixer, like a Mackie 12-channel, send a mono output from your piano to the TC-Helicon through an Aux send and your piano will stay in stereo.

This device will perform the harmony without the instruments. It follows your voice. However if there is an instrument it follows the chords and it will usually sound better. As for the microphone inputs, it has only one input.

I've never tried that, so I don't know. When using it with a guitar, I've established that it needs a continuous signal of the chords; for example a major versus a minor chord so it is able to establish what harmony notes to use. I'm guessing that with a bass guitar, it would only be able to output the basic note, plus its octaves if you have the unit set for that. Hope this helps and sorry I cannot provide you with more. Addendum: if you are just using it for pitch correction, it will work as long as it has a signal.

I just purchased a C. I don't think it should matter too much unless you have a band you're playing with that has instruments in a certain key. In other words, I think you should know if you need a certain key. If you don't, you're fine.

I have found it pretty much equals your voice and if your guitar is in sync ..you should really be pleased.. keep in mind to use all the dials it has.... Enjoy,,,Steve

It has a tuner on it, which will show which note is being played (and if it is flat or sharp). But nothing I know of will show what chord is being played.

As far as i've used it, yes. just watch how your chord is being pulled, or it'll break in a heartbeat .

It will work without a guitar, but not as well. It triggers off the guitar input to select the right harmonies based on the chord it hears. Without that input, you can select the key you are singing in, but when I tested it, the response did not seem accurate to me. It really is intended to be used with a guitar.

Since you are using easy play I assume you may be a litle slow in playing. The melody keys are synchronized to a particular note. That's an automatic programming function. It could be that there is a lag between you striking the note and the"computer" processing it that makes it sound off. I'm not sure what you mean by easy touch. the keys are pretty responsive. The effort to get a sound is comparable to the pressure needed to use a computer keyboard pressure. But there is no way to play softer sound without the pedal.

Appears to work fine with chords. It is the one pedal I really like as it adds nice overtones (and also has other settings)

Keys are full-size. Unfortunately if I play more than 2 keys at once, i.e. a simple 3 note chord, I get a very ugly sounding 4th note. Can't figure out if its a defect in the unit or if it's supposed to do that. I use it to practice choral music so I'm mostly a one note at time musician but sure would be nice to hear a chord without it sounding dissident.

I believe it forms "E", "A", "C", "D" and "G", basic cords you need for many songs. There is a little photo copy song book that has some country and gospel songs in it for use with the EZ Chord. You need to clip on the EZ Chord carefully so that the little tabs center on the correct strings. Its a good intro into Chords, your fingers won't hurt using it...but eventually you will see the need to start fingering the chords and toughening up your finger tips. Hope this helps and good luck learning and playing guitar.
