Overview

Mic stand-mountable vocal processor.

The TC Helicon PERFORM-VE is an innovative vocal processor that empowers you to shape your voice into captivating sounds. With the PERFORM-VE, you can create iconic vocal effects in real time, delivering mesmerizing live EDM, pop and dance performances. Unlock your inner vocal performer with the TC Helicon PERFORM-VE.

Create Your Sound in Real Time With Iconic Effects

The PERFORM-VE gives you the creative tools to craft vocal sounds just like the iconic effects from today's most popular EDM, pop and dance hits. It all starts with the ability to sample your vocals live and replay the samples using MIDI control. The PERFORM-VE's synth vocoder effect fully transforms your vocal tone for a synthetic, robotic sound that will entrance audiences. Essential effects like stutter help you add vocal accents and rhythmic articulation. With the PERFORM-VE's realtime pitch correction, your vocals stay perfectly in tune. The onboard doubler immediately thickens up your voice, while the lush reverbs and echoes place you in vibrant soundscapes.

Premium Sampling and MIDI Control

A key feature of the PERFORM-VE is its ability to let you sample vocals on the fly, then creatively manipulate those samples and replay them using MIDI control. Simply hit Record and sing or speak any phrase you want to capture. The PERFORM-VE records it instantly. Then you can engage the MIDI control and playback features to actually play your voice like an instrument. Bend and shape the sounds, add effects, loop sections—the possibilities are endless. The PERFORM-VE also has a one-button looper with built-in drum samples so you can lay down vocal textures and beats on the go. With MIDI clock sync, it locks to backing tracks and sequences flawlessly.

Polish Your Sound With Adaptive Tone Optimization

The PERFORM-VE's Adaptive Tone technology ensures your vocals always sound pro-grade, no matter what environment you're performing in. It analyzes your voice in real time and makes studio-quality optimizations tailored to your specific tone and the venue acoustics. Adaptive Tone applies just the right amount of compression and de-essing to smooth out variations in dynamics. The EQ shapes the frequency response to compensate for room modes. Precision gating keeps the noise floor silent during pauses, while auto-gain staging maintains an optimal level. Adaptive Tone gives you a personal sound engineer built right into the PERFORM-VE so you can focus on your performance.
