TC-Helicon releases free custom presets for their vocal processors, designed with Serj Tankian, their featured Artist for August.

TC-Helicon continues to feature artists every month, and following the worldwide release of his third solo album "Harakiri", Serj Tankian was chosen to share his vocal presets.

Tankian is a metal genre singer known for his vocal work with System of a Down. TC-Helicon and Tankian unveiled eleven exclusive presets. These presets are free to download for all users of either VoiceLive 2, VoiceLive Rack, VoiceLive Touch, VoiceLive Play or VoiceLive Play GTX.

Serj uses TC-Helicon's VoiceLive Rack for both live and studio use. He also uses it to capture flutes and other instruments that he is known to play. According to the press release: "TC-Helicon is proud to present Serj Tankian as its Featured Vocal Artist for August. As a singer, poet, songwriter, activist, and composer, Serj Tankian has proven to be a creative powerhouse making this preset package all the more essential for singers, metal or not, looking to sound their best."

As proof to Serj's creativity, his latest solo effort “Harakiri” (July 2012), is an album almost completely composed on the iPad. He also ended up creating and releasing his own personal music making app called “IAmSerj“.

The album also served as the template for the 11 presets in this month's featured artist pack. The artist pack covers various rock themes and include big reverbs to distorted harmonies and everything in between.

TC-Helicon will also be celebrating Serj's musical contributions by giving away a signed VoiceLive Rack unit with other cool prizes.
