TC-Helicon Perform-VE Reference Manual (Preliminary)
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 VSS (Vocal Sampling Synthesis) samples that you record on the fly.
Simply play notes on a connected MIDI controller keyboard and you can have up to nine of these MIDI voices
singing along with your Lead.
You also get XFX for stutter, rhythmic, ring mod and flanger effects, Echo for spacious reverbs and beat-synced
delays, and Filter for a selection of transducer and sweepable filters. With all this at your command, you’ll
quickly generate striking vocal effects 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 different 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!
