TC-Helicon PERFORM-VE - RoomSense Microphone; NaturalPlay Key Detection

25 PERFORM-VE User Manual
9.4 RoomSense
Did you notice that little hole on the front of the unit? It’s a microphone!
It’s there for two reasons:
1. If you don’t plug in a microphone and have headphones connected, you can
sing into the onboard mic. It’s a great way to practice with virtually no other
equipment. If you’re singing into the RoomSense mic, the Main Outputs will
be muted to prevent feedback.
2. If you activate HardTune eects with the NP (Natural Play) key set, and
you’re not using MIDI, keyboard audio or an Aux music source to guide key/
scale, the mic will listen for chords in the room (like a nearby guitar) and try
to gure out key and scale from that! Pretty cool. RoomSense is the most
unpredictable of the key/scale trackers, since the room dynamics and chord
information are most easily obscured using this mode.
