TC Helicon PERFORM-VK Vocal Processor

TC Helicon PERFORM-VK Vocal Processor Overview:

HARMONIZE YOUR SOUND
Whether you use audio or MIDI from your keyboard, our vocal effects engine captures your chord information and creates up to two voices of real time harmony to accompany you.

If you like to get more complex vocal output, MIDI note driven harmony is also available with direct control of up to 8 simultaneous harmony voices.

SIMPLICITY IS KEY
Perform-VK pairs perfectly with your keyboard or stage piano to give you stand out vocal effects, mixing and USB multi track audio in one small, easy to use unit.

CREATIVE CONTROL AT YOUR FINGERTIPS
Perfrom-VK allows you to take control of your sound, giving you the power to simulate a physical space with REVERB or put it on repeat with ECHO simply by hitting a button.

IN THE STUDIO OR ON STAGE
When it’s time to hit the studio, Perform-VK’s 4 in, 8 out USB audio capability gives you all the flexibility you need to create great recordings in no time. Simultaneously capture dry and wet versions of your vocals, along with harmony voices and your keyboard audio.

POLISH YOUR PERFORMANCE
Add instant clarity with the TONE button. Adaptive EQ, compression, gating and de-ess provide you with professionally polished vocals that ensure you always cut through the mix.

Turn on Anti-feedback and your Perform-VK will be on the prowl for pesky speaker squealing, knocking it out quickly if it does occur.

The PITCH button provides a helping hand by pushing you to the nearest half-note with subtle pitch-correction.

SET AND FORGET
Perform-VK removes much of the complexity involved with most audio gear. In addition to Tone and Anti-Feedback the Automatic Microphone Input Gain means that setup is as straightforward as plugging in a mic and holding the SET button while you sing. Boom, ready to rock. It even clips onto your mic stand right where you need it.

JUST BEAM IT
Out of the box it’s easy to dial in a timeless, premium vibe using the onboard Double, Reverb, and Echo sounds.

Go deeper with the free Perform-VK app for your smartphone.

Pick and choose from a library of pre-made sounds including HardTune, harmony, megaphone, and instantly transform your sound. Simply “beam” the sounds directly from your phone to the PRESET buttons and you’re good to go – no need for accessories or even a wireless or Bluetooth connection!

MAKE IT A HIT
Most presets you beam or download come with a "HIT" function. HIT helps you build intensity into your performances by adding additional layers to the preset by simply pressing the preset button a second time (it turns blue instead of green). This is ideal for creating striking choruses or highlighting a certain phrase.

VOICESUPPORT
Perform-V will evolve with you. VoiceSupport, our free desktop app, gives you the latest firmware updates and maintains your personal database of presets that you have beamed. All you need is a Mac or Windows computer with a USB input.

PRACTICE WITHOUT A MIC
When you're not beaming presets to it, the embedded RoomSenseTM mic doubles as a handy vocal input for headphone sessions when the ideas come faster than getting up and plugging in your regular mic.

EXTEND YOUR CONTROL

HANDS ON
Remote control your sounds with a mic engineered for the sonic realities of modern vocal performance. Add the TC-Helicon MP-75 or MP-76 microphone and use the groundbreaking Mic Control™ buttons to roam the stage freely.

HANDS OFF
While Perform-V is designed for a hands-on experience, there may be times when you're playing an instrument or otherwise keeping those fingers occupied. For these occassions, you can add a Switch-3 or Switch-6 accessory pedal to let your feet take control.
