To gain foot-switchable control of vocal effects and harmonies, Patrick uses TC Helicon's VoiceLive digital processing floor unit. The VoiceLive is tremendously flexible, offering up to 4 additional vocal harmonies using scale, chord, and shift-based constructions, a large variety of vocal effects with fine parametric control over each, 99 presets, and 50 pre-programmed song sequences each of which can be up to 30 steps. Says Patrick "Learning how to use the VoiceLive was quite a challenge, a lot of people buy it and then give up and sell it again on eBay, but now I count on it. There's a worldwide forum of users who help each other out getting the most out of the unit."
