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 eects:
• Harmony
• HardTune (pitch correction)
• Megaphone
• Modulation (chorus, ange 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.

HIT
Beamed presets can turn on one or more eects with a single button press. We
call the additional eects “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 eects within the
preset too.
Here’s a little chart to show you what you can control, depending on which
eects are contained in the preset:
Harmony HardTune Megaphone µMod Modier
1 X Harmony Level
2 X HardTune Gender
3 X EQ Filter
4 X µMod Level
5 X X X X Harmony Level
6 X X HardTune Gender
7 X X µMod Level
8 X X µMod Level
If you nd the chart confusing as heck, here’s an example:
If the preset contains both Harmony and HardTune (number 5) the “Modier”
is Harmony Level. If the preset contains Megaphone and µMod (number 8) the
modier is for µMod level.
Make sense? Good. Moving on…
Editing HIT
HIT is controlled dynamically, which means you can make changes to each HIT
“state” whenever you choose. Taking the previous example as a starting point,
if you have Reverb on while HIT is o:
Then you turn Echo on:
Now, Echo and Reverb will be active when HIT is OFF. You can make similar
changes to the HIT ON state.
