PERFORM-VE User Manual

Snare Drum Selection

Press the 

snare

 corner button to trigger the snare sample. Just as with the kick, you can press snare at any time regardless of looper activity.

Hold the 

snare

 corner button while turning the Control Knob to select one of four snare drum samples:

A green LED indicates an acoustic snare, while red LED options indicate an electronic sound.
NOTE: When you select a new snare sample, a matching hi-hat sample is also selected. 

Looper: hi-hat

As long as the Looper button is lit or pulsing, the headphone button will trigger the hi-hat sample.

Looper Quantize

Perform-VE’s looper can either quantize your drum events as they are recorded, or can leave their timing untouched. If Quantizing is enabled, drum events will be 

‘corrected’ to the closest 16th note as they are recorded, resulting in a tighter more ‘machine-like’ groove.

Quantizing applies to external and internal clock setups, even when you lay down the very first pass of a drum loop under internal clock control. Once drum events 

have been recorded as quantized, disabling quantize will not restore their original timing. 
If you find that the drum patterns you wish to record do not play back as intended, try erasing and re-recording them with the quantize set to the opposite value. 

Syncopated drum beats work best with quantize disabled, while robotic beats and quantization go great together. 

External MIDI Clock

The alternative looper setup is to have MIDI clock coming in from an external instrument or a computer running audio workstation software. In this situation, 

Perform-VE is the slave to the external device and any loops you record will need to be made in time with the pulses shown on the TAP button. 
One advantage of external clocking is that odd bar patterns (3, 5, 7 and up) can be recorded as loops, and playback will be perfectly synchronized with your external 

gear such as drum machines, arpeggiators and the like.

As was mentioned earlier, the hi-hat sample is triggered by pressing 

the HEADPHONE button when the LOOPER is active. This lets you 

record and overdub hi-hat events into your loop, and lets you play 

hi-hat along with the loop. 

To enable/disable Looper Quantize, press SET and TAP to toggle  

between OFF and ON 

 

Range: OFF, ON
