PERFORM-VE User Manual
1. 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 VS Synthesis
samples that you record on the fly. Simply play notes on a connected MIDI
controller keyboard and you can have up to eight of these MIDI voices singing
along with your Lead.
You also get XFX for stutter, rhythmic, ring modulation and flanger effects,
Echo for spacious r 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!
