Store loops
Those of you who have jumped on board with
looping have likely made a really, really good
loop in the past – only to see it vanish into thin
air when you power off the device.
VL3X allows
you to store your creations right in the box!
Loop Utility menu with Save function
Not only can you store your loops –
you can
assign a stored loop to a Preset.
This, in our
opinion, is a game changer.
Imagine recording a really cool ambient loop,
synced to the tempo of your song, while you are
at home – and then fire it off at your gig. If the
band is using a click track, everything will line up
perfectly with what you are playing, including all
of your time-based vocal and guitar effects!
This storage ability removes a lot of the repetitive
nature of building loops live in front of an audi-
ence. Sure, it’s neat the first time you see some-
one build a loop live, but then it gets a bit boring.
It often takes a while to get all of the “bits” of the
loop recorded. You can do that work in advance
and then add to things in real-time during per-
formance.
Backing Tracks and Automation
VL3X’s killer new feature is its ability to import
Backing Tracks,
assign them to a Preset and
then record your effect changes throughout the
song. When you hit the stage, your carefully de-
signed performance can be presented to your
audience, keeping your eyes up and feet free to
better deliver a compelling performance.
No more “tap dancing” on the effects buttons.
No more external track player. Just a great per-
formance where you can concentrate on what
you do best, playing music.
Complete guitar effects
With VoiceLive Play GTX, we introduced our first
“complete” guitar effects suite. Previously, we
had provided Chorus, Reverb, EQ and Compres-
sion blocks. VoiceLive Play GTX added Amp/
Distortion and Delay to the options, greatly ex-
panding the sound possibilities for guitar play-
ers.
VL3X takes that ball and runs with it. In fact, it
pulls a Forrest Gump and runs straight out of the
stadium and across the country!
Guitar effects in VL3X
The guitar effects in VL3X come from some of TC
Electronic’s most successful effects, like Corona
Chorus, Hall of Fame Reverb, Vortex Flanger and
Flashback Delay!
When you couple those beautiful effects with
great amp modeling, Drive/Boost, Compression,
Rhythm/Tremolo, Wah-wah and Octave Down,
you can truly manipulate your guitar and vocal
sounds as a cohesive unit.
Imagine your time-based vocal and guitar effects
being perfectly in sync, without having to set up
complex timing systems or tapping tempo on
multiple devices. Everything just lines up!
