PERFORM-VG User Manual 1. Introduction 2. Let’s Get Going! Thank you for purchasing Perform-VG! On the box, you may have seen a connection guide and simple instructions to set your mic gain. If you haven’t got things connected and making sound, we should do that now. Your new mic stand-mounted vocal and guitar processor opens up a world of new performance opportunities.
PERFORM-VG User Manual 5. Control All editing and control on Perform-VG is achieved in three ways. Here are some examples: • • • Button press • Effects on/off • Tone , Anti-Feedback, BodyRez on/off • Enter headphone level control • Enter mix control • Enter dimming control • Tap tempo Reverb Reverb creates a simulated physical space for your voice and guitar. It can be a small space, like a shower (where everyone’s best singing takes place), or something as big as a concert hall.
PERFORM-VG User Manual 8. Editing Effects Don’t like the Reverb, Harmony, Echo or Chorus that you hear? You can adjust both the Level (volume) and Style (sound of the effect) to dial in just the right combination for your music. When you first hold the harmony button to enter edit mode, you’ll be greeted with a level control. Unlike the other effects, this is simply a minimum to maximum control and applies regardless of which harmony style you’ve chosen.
PERFORM-VG User Manual Harmony styles are represented relative to the topmost (12 O’Clock) LED, which serves as an indicator of your lead voice.
PERFORM-VG User Manual Octave Up & Down Lower Octave Down Low & Lower Higher & Lower Low
PERFORM-VG User Manual High & Low 9. Tone Tone automatically adds EQ (equalization), Compression, De-Ess and Gate to your overall vocal sound. To activate Tone, press the button. EQ helps to shape the tone of your voice to fit into a musical mix. We remove some of the low “mud” frequencies and boost the highs for “sparkle” or “air”. Every recording you hear has some manner of EQ on the lead vocal (and pretty much everything else too).
PERFORM-VG User Manual Tone Style • Normal, No Gate • Less Bright, No Gate To change Tone styles, press and HOLD the tone button for 3 seconds. Turn the Control Knob to select a style.
PERFORM-VG User Manual 10. Pitch Correction 12. BodyRez Auto chromatic pitch correction gently guides you to the nearest semi-tone without making you sound like a robot. To access pitch correction, press and hold the Tone button for about one second. Use the control knob to adjust the amount of correction, from 0-100%. There’s nothing like a great sounding acoustic guitar.
PERFORM-VG User Manual 14. Mic Control 16. Lock/Mute To enable Mic Control, activate +48V. Press and HOLD the MIX button for 5 seconds to enter Lock/Mute mode. Only the Aux input remains active and is sent to the XLR output. This stops people from messing with your gear if you’ve stepped away for a break. The Aux is left active in case you want to play canned music between sets. Then, you’ll need to select your Mic Control Mode.
PERFORM-VG User Manual 19. AUX Input When you have a music player connected to the AUX input, any incoming chord information will be used to determine key/scale for Harmony. (guitar connections have priority over Aux when detecting key/scale) You will hear the AUX input mixed with your Mic input (vocals). If the AUX is too loud or too quiet, use the volume control on the music player to create the appropriate mix with your vocals. 20.
PERFORM-VG User Manual 24. Default Top-Level Control Out of the box, the Control Knob allows you to control the main output level. This is particularly handy if you’re connected to a powered speaker directly and would like to have control over your level at all times. However, there may be times when you’d like the Control Knob to do something else, so we’ve covered you there as well. You may change the default behavior of the Control Knob during power-up.
