The software thats included has fan speed control but its grayed out so you cant actually control it. Does everything I need, and just works. Used this in a low end build for very light gaming and viewing videos. Works as it should none

Fan is too noisy Good card for the price, quite happy, but the fan emits a high pitched whine. By far the noisiest fan in my build. Totally silent card for home theatre use Great card. Totally silent. If you want a card to put in your media centre PC this is the one.

How to use the Manual Button
There may be times when you want to disengage guitar control of your harmonies and use a fixed key (e.g. E Minor) instead. Using Manual mode does this. It could be that you arent playing your guitar in a particular song, that youre not playing a guitar at all, or that youve used fixed-key harmony in other TC-Helicon products and found it works better and sounds unique in certain songs. If youre not sure what the key of your song is, its often the same as the first or last chord of the song. To set key in Manual Mode with a guitar: 1. Play a major or minor chord whose root is the key

Changing the Number of Presets
The default configuration of Harmony-G XT is to offer five presets each having an A and B setting.This allows you to cycle through them with a reasonable amount of footswitch or Preset button pushes. If you need access to more presets and are willing to step through them with the footswitch or Preset button, or you would like to reduce the number so you can cycle through three favorites for example, there is a way to set this in Harmony-G XT.

Press both footswitches simultaneously while the chord sustains.The LED display will show the key (described below) and will automatically exit after a moment.The Manual LED will light indicating the guitar no longer controls harmony.To modify the key and scale, see step #2 below. To set key in Manual Mode without a guitar: 1. Press both footswitches simultaneously to temporarily enter key setting mode. If no footswitch input is received after a few seconds, the mode will exit. 2. Tap the left footswitch to cycle through the key options and the right footswitch to cycle through the 6 available scales. After a moment, the mode will automatically exit. Understanding the Manual key display: The key in Harmony-G XT is shown in 3 sequential flashes. For example, an E might flash, then a dash -, and then a number 3 indicating E minor 3.The number corresponds to one of three major and three minor modified scales. Choosing an alternate scale may help you find a fixed-key harmony that works best for your song. Once your key is set and youre happy with it, it can be stored with the current preset by holding the Preset button.
How to Choose Alternate Tone Settings
The factory default for the Tone button accommodates a wide range of singers but there are options to further customize this feature. To access the Alternate Tone settings, hold the Tone button until you see the Preset number display flash.You can tap the Tone button to cycle through the numbered choices shown following: 21
d. Default setting. Best for most situations. 1. Best if you have a very bright sounding PA. Reduces brightness a little. 2. Adds warmth to the default setting for a slight Bass boost. 3. Default plus increased compression. Caution: this increases the likelihood of feedback. 4. Default with harmony gate turned off 5. Option 1 with gate off 6. Option 2 with gate off 7. Option 3 with gate off (Hold the FX button) and then press the Double button so its LED lights.

As with the other FX, the guitar detune effect can be stored on or off in different presets.
Choosing Alternate Double Settings

Hold the Double button until you see the Preset number display flash.You can tap it to cycle through the numbered choices. Hold again to exit and store to the preset if desired.

Guitar Reverb and Detune

When mixing the guitar input internally, reverb will be automatically added to your guitar. The guitar reverb style depends on the currently loaded FX style. The guitar reverb and voice FX level are controlled by the FX knob. Youre able to add a separate detune effect to your guitar when you enter the Advanced FX Select mode 22
External Mixing with Mono and Dry Outputs
If you prefer, you can leave the level balancing between your dry voice (Tone active only) and a mono signal of the Harmony, Double and FX to your sound engineer. Ensure the Stereo LED is not lit and that the Harmony knob is set to full right. Connect the outputs to two channels of your audio mixer. The Left (Mono) output
will send the wet effects and the Right (Dry) output will send your dry voice.These can be adjusted by your sound engineer.
place your microphone near the instrument you want to tune to and play any single note from it. Press any button to exit to normal function. You can now tune your guitar to the new reference.Your guitar and the harmony voices pitch will match the reference instrument. Note that the tuning reference is reset to A440 the next time power is removed from Harmony-G XT.
Performing a Factory Reset
A reset will delete all of your edited presets and return all settings to the factory defaults.To reset the unit, insert the power connector while holding the Manual and Voice 2 buttons.
To Change the Tuning Reference
By default, Harmony-G XT is tuned to A=440 Hz and the harmony voices will sound in tune when you sing with a guitar tuned to A=440. If you will be playing guitar and singing with an instrument tuned to a different reference e.g. a piano that has dropped in overall pitch, you can change Harmony-G XTs reference with the following procedure. Press and hold the Manual, Double and FX buttons simultaneously as you plug in the power adapter. Then 23

Guitar Performance Tips

To ensure that the harmony voices follow your guitar playing closely, its best to play as cleanly as you can. Also,
at the beginning of your song, its important to play a chord if you want to sing right at the beginning. Your guitar should be well-tuned to the onboard tuner or an external one set to A=440 Hz. If the song section you want vocal harmony on has fast chord changes, single note runs or very slow arpeggios, you can use Manual mode to produce harmony. Your guitar can be tuned to alternate tunings as long as you are in tune with the onboard tuner.

Why isnt VoiceSupport connecting to Harmony-G XT?
If you have the USB cable connected correctly and VoiceSupport is not connecting, try the following: 1. Restart the computer, turn on Harmony-G XT and then run VoiceSupport. 2. Disconnect any MIDI I/O devices connected to your computer and rerun VoiceSupport. 3. Install VoiceSupport on another computer and connect to that.

Singing Performance Tips

The more in-tune you sing, the better the harmonies will sound. There is a slight amount of pitch correction on the harmony voices but its mostly up to you! Try to ensure that your amp or monitor is not facing directly into your mic as this can confuse Harmony-G XT.
Can I Use Alternate Tunings On My Guitar?
Alternate tunings e.g. drop D, DADGAD, etc. are okay. The most important notes of your chord, as far as Harmony-G XT is concerned, are the chord root and the third, so make sure these notes are clearly voiced. 27
