It's Awesome. Nice for Dance Music and Re-Mix work. Very Informative.

[@sistersatori]

I just got a used Roland VT-3, but I think I'll return it and get one of these instead. The VT-3 lacks any compression, so the input is constantly clipping even on low-gain settings. But the VT-3 has 6 preset slots if you hold one of the buttons like a shift key. You should update the firmware to use the headphone button as a shift key to get 3 more preset slots.

Nice piece of gear. Thumbs up. Can stutter, tremolo and delay be synched to midi clock, too?

[@Foti03]

Hi ! I want to know if it is possible to add a chorus effect via the app or if the unit actually includes one (cause I’m not totally clear on this even after trying my best to understand it). Thank you !

[@martinaleksandrov7080]

Hi! A little question :) Is it possible to record a sample by using the TC Foot Switch? For some sounds that I want to sample I need my both hands :)

[@fadelsantiago]

hey i'm using the perform ve. have a question regarding the natural mic, so i've plugged in my earpiece into this, and it doesnt work. i've restarted and it works for only 3 seconds and then the natural mic turns off. are there solutions for this problem?

[@technopriest8686]

can you send the VE through another effects pedal with the I/O it has?

[@eraknosbeats9191]

Please.is there a deesser integrated to any of the Perform pedals that can be used with effects (for instance you can use a revrb while the deesser is engaged?) thanks

[@GiriGagan]

That's a very good question! Please someone answer it.

[@RobinJohnson]

Hey mate, What Cord is used to connect the TC Helicon to the Midi controller?

[@niix6914]

Is it necessary to use a keyboard with this or can you enable the vocal effects live while you're singing?

[@honeychildcoleman]

What brand or size mic stand are you using? Standard stands don't seem to work..

[@victorhernandezmartinez3844]

Can you use this as a live vocoder with a midi keyboard instead of recording samples?

[@igorvdovin9451]

Please help) How to connect TC Helicon Perform-VE with synthesizer Yamaha psr-s670 with no "midi out"? Thank you for reply.

[@nebula5188]

Che tipo di key board sta usando lui nel video ?

[@davids.7029]

where do i get the perform ve driver? the links that are said in the user manual are not working??

[@usgaul12]

Do you always need to connect a keyboard? Can't you just simply connect your mic and then connect the outputs to a speaker or to a laptop in case you want to record your voice with effects like in, for example, reading a book or a speech?

[@Simpleton.6644]

Does it require a specific keyboard,, will my Arturia Keylabs Essentials 49 work with it?

[@GiriGagan]

Yes it will work perfectly as will any other midi keyboard

[@iammrpops]

Just one question....can i loop without playing the drums? Just using the midi clock?

[@dubbylabby6068]

It should…

[@brianwallington9744]

Hi Robbie good info,but I think the majority of people watching this would like to know how your equipment is all connected.how about a vid showing your setup from scratch,with all cables etc . ???

[@robertdeacon2232]

Our setup is pretty straightforward in this video! We have a 5-pin midi cable going into the VE from our midi keyboard, a microphone into the VE via xlr, and one 1/4" output to a monitor (TCH FX-150). It's just midi/mic in, one instrument cable out.

[@brianwallington9744]

Robert Deacon hi Robbie thanks for your quick response and the info,bye and take care now :-)

[@ys521wow]

does it provide 48v phantom power ? thanks!

[@robertdeacon2232]

@@ys521wow Yes, it can provide 48v Phantom power!

[@unemployicus]

Is HardTune for pitch correction?

[@frankcanhelp]

This is such a sweet tutorial. Unfortunately, I can't even figure out how to hook up my Perform-VE and so I can't even get this to work. My my keyboard connects to my Studio One DAW and the Perform VE connects to my PC, but it doesn't seem to cooperate and I can't see how it would, due to the connections. Any basic setup tutorials???

[@dubbylabby6068]

Hi Frank, You should check the manual for midi channels involved in note transmission into the ve. Then you need to set your DAW midi channel with output at the same channel and destination the ve. The input should same channel and your keyboard controller so that way notes from keyboard proper channel (maybe you need keyboard channel in their own setup) gors into the the DAW and get routed to the ve. Additional audio channel will be required to hear sound from the ve obviously (it’s an audio interface so similar setup but this time with audio preferences and audio channel). It seems worse than it is in reality. The straightforward way is connecting a keyboard with midi din (5 pins) directly into the ve and setup properly the channel (the ve has autorecognition afaik) but that way you can’t send notes directly from the DAW… hope it makes sense. If you answer me, please hit thumbs up to this comment since I have answer notification disabled to avoid get involved in usual no-sense discussions so popular at youtube and music gear (lol)

[@BeyondTheCrimeSceneBee]

Still waiting on yall to come out with an firmware update that'll fix this bug that I've had since I bought the d*mn device. So sad...this device has so much potential. This is ridiculous.

[@krawl1983]

Im just gonna take the plunge and buy it and see what i need. Atm im not using a monitor because im a traveling producer, and just have my laptop. Well see what happens...

[@krawl1983]

How the hell do you set this thing up? I have one ready to be purchased on amazon but how much extra equipment do i need? I see you have like 5 different wires that I dont believe come with this piece of equipment. Thanks a ton.

[@tuftyindigo]

This was already answered above. He's just using the power supply, mic input (XLR), MIDI from the keyboard, and audio output (standard 6.5 mm cable). Even if you don't have monitor speakers you definitely need the audio output.

[@Massproduce201]

This is wacky!!!

[@Ofishu]

Pure Garbage. Mine fried up after a month of use. TC refused to repair it since it wasn’t purchased at their ‘ approved ‘ list of retailers. Be mindful, it doesn’t haves a power switch so be really cautious.

[@torbenhellborn3175]

Not a very good demo in my opinion . . a too high speed performance . . but most of all JUST a voice demo
