SET + Preset 3: Mic Control
RED: Mic Control O
Use this when you have a condenser microphone. If you have another Mic Control
mode set, you may inadvertently activate buttons on the box as you sing.
GREEN: MP-75 Mode
YELLOW: MP-76 Mode
The MP-75 and MP-76 buttons can be reassigned to control the following:
• DOUBLE
• MORPH
• HARDTUNE
• XFX
• ECHO
• FILTER
• LOOPER Record/Play/Erase
• SAMPLE record
• SAMPLE play
• Preset 1
• Preset 2
• Preset 3
• Tap Tempo
8. Tap (Tempo)
The Tap button’s red LED ashes in time with the current tempo, with the down
beat of each 4/4 measure ashing brighter than the remaining three beats.
When pressed, this light ashes in time with the Looper, Chopper, Stutter and
Echo eects. Provided you have not previously recorded a loop, you can re-tap
the tempo at any time to sync up with your current song. Keep in mind that you
can tap at half-time or double-time for more exible control.
NOTE: When the LOOPER is activated (glowing green), this means an audio loop
has been recorded. You won’t be able to tap a new tempo until the loop is erased.
The LOOPER section (later in this manual) explains how you can record and erase
drum and audio loops.
9. RoomSense
Did you notice that little hole on the front of the unit? It’s a microphone!
It’s there for two reasons:
1. If you activate HardTune eects and you’re not using MIDI, keyboard audio
or an Aux music source to guide key/scale, the mic will listen for chords in
the room (like a nearby guitar) and try to gure out key and scale from that!
Pretty cool.
• RoomSense is the most unpredictable of the key/scale trackers, since the
room dynamics and chord information are most easily obscured using
this mode.
2. If you don’t plug in a microphone and have headphones connected, you can
sing into the onboard mic. It’s a great way to practice with virtually no other
equipment.
• If you’re singing into the RoomSense mic, the Main Outputs will be
muted to prevent feedback.
Holding down the SET button and pressing
Preset 3 repeatedly will cycle through Mic
Control settings, with the VU meter LED showing
which mode you’re in.
On your TC-Helicon MP-75 Microphone, the single
Mic Control button cycles the preset selection. You
can reassign the Mic Control button by holding the
button and then pressing the corresponding button on
Perform-VE that you’d like to control.
For example, if you hold the Mic Control then press the
Reverb button, the MP-75 will now toggle Reverb on
and o.
In MP-76 mode, the Mic Control button cycles the preset
selection as it does in MP-75 mode. The remaining three
buttons default to toggle the following eects on your
Perform-VE:
• Left toggles ECHO.
• Right toggles FILTER.
• Bottom toggles XFX.
NOTE: If you have a TC-Helicon MP-76 connected but
choose MP-75 mode instead, the lower three buttons will
not operate.
