One Knob To Rule Them All
By default, Perform-VE’s Control Knob edits the mix between the MIDI Voices and your Lead Voice. It applies to
all three presets and is not stored when Perform-VE is turned off.
LEAD Voice: Your voice. Enhanced and extremely
altered, just how you want it!
MIDI Voices: Up to 9 MIDI Note controlled voices
generated by Perform-VE to
accompany your LEAD Voice.
MIDI Voices are Harmony, Vocoder
or VSS Sampler Voices.
The graphic above shows equal levels of MIDI and LEAD as displayed on the LED Ring. From here you can dial
down the blue MIDI level by turning the knob counter-clockwise, or dial down the green LEAD level by turning
the knob clockwise. Whichever level you turn down, the other one will stay at max volume.
Effects
Perform-VE makes some of the wildest and most complex sounds that TC-Helicon has ever made possible.
There’s a lot to discover by simply pushing buttons and combining sounds, but we’ll give you an overview of the
basics here, starting with the six effects buttons, as shown below:
Toggling the Effects
Quickly pressing and releasing any one of the FX buttons will toggle the associated effect on and off. The LED
ring will switch to an alternate display mode while the button is down. There’s a reason for this momentary
flash, and we’ll explain it now.
