TC-Helicon PERFORM-VE User Manual

4 PERFORM-VE User Manual
1. Introduction
Thank you for purchasing Perform-VE!
Your new mic stand-mounted vocal processor opens up a world of sound
creation and performance opportunities.
Starting with our Adaptive Tone (automatic EQ, De-Essing, Gating and
Compression), your voice will punch through the mix and sound great in
any environment.
Next up, an impressive assortment of transformations await your voice: HardTune
Pitch Correction, Doubling, Shift and Gender Morphing all work together to
create whatever modern lead vocal sound you can dream up.
Perform-VE also generates MIDI Voices to accompany your Lead. MIDI Voices can
be pitch-perfect vocal harmonies, virtual analog vocoder voices, or VS Synthesis
samples that you record on the y. Simply play notes on a connected MIDI
controller keyboard and you can have up to eight of these MIDI voices singing
along with your Lead.
You also get XFX for stutter, rhythmic, ring modulation and anger eects,
Echo for spacious reverbs + beat-synced delays, and Filter for a selection of
transducer and sweepable lters. With all this at your command, you’ll quickly
generate striking vocal eects and exciting, fresh sounds that will take your
music to new levels.
But wait, there’s more!
Perform-VE also includes a Drum and Audio Looper. With several dierent kick,
snare and hi-hat sounds available, you can easily build a beat and then record
a synchronized audio loop from Perform-VE’s internal signal path. Just tap
and vocalize.
Read the Quick Start!
If you’ve read the Quick Start Guide that came in the box, hooked up a
microphone, and can hear your music and vocals coming through the outputs,
you are already skimming the top features of Perform-VE. If you want to get into
Perform-VE’s deeper capabilities with this reference manual, we’ll need to do a
little more set up. Don’t worry – it won’t take long!
