PERFORM-VK User Manual

With 3 available presets, you might want to set up something like:
1.  Fast songs
2.  Slow songs
3.  Death Metal Engelbert Humperdinck Covers

Try shorter reverb for fast songs.
Choose longer reverb and add a bit of echo for slower songs and/or ballads.
Crank up the levels and choose the craziest styles for a special effect preset.

Importing (Beaming) a preset

PERFORM-VK also has the ability to “beam” or import a preset sound to each of 

the 1, 2, 3 buttons. 
The imported sound can contain up to 7 effects:

• 

Harmony

• 

HardTune (pitch correction)

• 

Megaphone

• 

Modulation (chorus, flange etc.)

• 

Reverb

• 

Double

• 

Echo

Here’s how to import a preset:
Use your smartphone and our preset app to “beam” a preset into PERFORM-VK. 

Simply press once on the preset location where you’d like your preset to live 

(1, 2 or 3). Then, follow the instructions in the app to send the preset data to your 

PERFORM-VK. 
You can download the preset app here:

HIT

Beamed presets can turn on one or more effects with a single button press. We 

call the additional effects “HIT”. A common example of HIT is a preset that starts 

out with a simple Reverb, then adds Harmony via HIT. 
The beamed preset’s green light changes to blue to indicate that HIT is on. When 

a preset is beamed in, HIT is turned on by default.

Editing a Beamed preset

The process to change the sound of Reverb, Harmony and Echo within a beamed 

preset is exactly the same as the one you did without a beamed preset, with one 

small exception…
When you press/hold to edit the Reverb, Harmony, or Echo in a beamed preset, 

you’ll notice that the LED ring is now white. That’s the new Style imported by 

the preset. You can control the level of that Style, or change back to one of the 

“factory” Styles you’ve used before.
If you press and hold the 1, 2 or 3 buttons (whichever preset you’re already using) 

you can make an adjustment to the sound of one of the other effects within the 

preset too.
Here’s a little chart to show you what you can control, depending on which 

effects are contained in the preset:

Harmony

HardTune

Megaphone

µMod

Harmony Level

6

X

HardTune Gender

7

µMod Level

8

X

X

µMod Level

If you find the chart confusing as heck, here’s an example:
If the preset contains both Harmony and HardTune (number 5) the “Modifier” 

is Harmony Level. If the preset contains Megaphone and µMod (number 8) the 

modifier is for µMod level.
Make sense? Good. Moving on…
