PERFORM-VK User Manual
Introduction
Thank you for purchasing PERFORM-VK!
Your new mic stand-mounted vocal processor opens up a world of new
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.
Add studio-quality Reverb, Harmony and Echo to the party and you’ll easily craft
eardrum pleasing vocal effects that are perfectly suited to your song.
With the addition of “beamable” presets you can expand the sonic capabilities of
PERFORM-VK and include up to four more vocal effects!
Anti-Feedback tames the annoying high pitched squeals we’ve all experienced at
live shows and keeps your performance sounding its very best.
Our global Pitch Correction gently guides your voice to the nearest note, ensuring
that your pitches are spot on.
The Guide feature lets you see your vocal pitches in real time, letting you know
when you’re accurate and when you might be sharp or flat. It’s a great tool for
both live and rehearsal.
Audio and MIDI inputs for your keyboard give you a choice of methods to guide
key and scale for harmony voices and HardTune.
Read the Quick Start!
We’ll assume that you read the Quick Start Guide that came in the box, hooked
everything up, and that you’re able to sing and play through the product. If you
haven’t made it that far, please read the Quick Start Guide now and come back to
this manual when you’re set up. Don’t worry, we’ll wait.
