Aside from what one might think of the practice I gotta say the technology has really gotten good. The band had a strong vocalist which probably helped, but the movement of the harmonies seemed spookily natural. I could tell the guy was triggering it by a foot pedal but I was a little perplexed by what appeared to be no tweaking between songs to adjust for the key of the songs. These devices must have gotten pretty intuitive.

I had one of those at one point. I just plugged my guitar into it and out of it into my pedalboard. It had a separate input and output for the microphone. It had a bunch of presets that included reverb, delay, and what key the song was in. After that it would track whatever chords I played on my guitar and automatically selected the appropriate diatonic harmony to fit with them. It worked quite well. When I decided I wasn't going to be gigging as the only singer again I sold it. It was a cool device.

I have a TC Helicon VoiceLive Play pedal. It takes a bit of effort to get the right mix of instrument volume and output volume to get it working well. I’ve used it a couple times in recording and a few times live but haven’t used it in a few years. on.soundcloud.com/bZrKoheyHpJwbQHLA |

I regularly jam with a fellow with a harmonizer (you might remember "Busta String" from the old Moes). He has an older Helicon Harmony Singer and a unique setup.
He does most of the singing (good thing). He uses 2 mics about 4 inches apart. One goes straight to the PA and one to the Helicon. When a part needing harmony comes up, he just sings into the other mic. No pedal dancing. Works great!
