Good afternoon.
I am THE newest newbie with not just this product but in singing period. A very long-story short, on June 16th I will be joining a band onstage for an outdoor fundraiser concert in front of about 700-1,000 people (and I am scared to death because this will be the very FIRST TIME I will sing in front of people). I am practicing daily with backing tracks but NOT with the VoiceLive Play and I have no other voice effects in place currently.
So I recently took a leap of faith and purchased a VoiceLive Play.
I was hoping at least some of the songs we are performing, would be included as a Preset but sadly none of them are. Here are the (10) songs I will be singing with the band:
01 - Thank You **
02 - Can’t You See
03 - The Weight
04 - Peaceful Easy Feeling **
05 - Cover Of The Rolling Stone
06 - Turn The Page **
07 - Simple Man
08 - Mary Janes Last Dance
09 - Rocky Mountain Way
10 - Comfortably Numb
The (3) songs with ** are the ones I am going to sing Lead on, the other songs are just minor singing parts and/or backing singing.
I have looked at the settings (once) when I first received the VoiceLive Play however I simply do not have enough time to learn the VoiceLive Play device so that I can set it up for those ten songs myself. Can somebody please help me get these ten songs setup now, so that I can continue practicing but practicing with the VoiceLive Play.
It's been a while since I used my play acoustic . No when I use the hit button the harmonies occasionally break up . I use a Shure sm58 mic . Any ideas anyone . I'm on the most updated firm/software . I've ordered a new mic cabile in case is that breaking down .
thank in advance
It has been a while since i used my VLP GTX and getting back into gigging now.. I think there were some firmware updates since the last time I used it (2013). I would like to know if there are any documents that explain the new features or changers that were added in these firmware updates, that adds to whatever is in the normal user manual?
Also I would like to know what differences, if any, exist between the GTX and the the regular PLAY...since the PLAY is still in production and probably has received even more updates...while the GTX is out of of product and probably stopped getting updates.
The main reason I like my GTX was because of the midi input capability. But I recall from years ago some feedback problems occasionally with it and its possible they updated PLAY's firmware to eliminate the feedback maybe? Anything else different?
I saw questions on here a while ago asking what features I'd like to see in a future product....
I really liked my GTX a lot back when I was using it, I don't need fancy features like looping, harmonies...just basic pitch correction, sometimes some tone mods.. I'm back up singer that needs to be in tune and sometimes pitch my voice up an ocative...and sometimes add some doubling and stuff like that. If there is ever a more up to date version of VLP, that still has midi..and maybe also adds some of the newer vocal FX that TCHelicon has been coming out with in the smaller pedals...perhaps improved DSP, etc..I would definitely buy one. The beauty of this pedal was smaller size and simplicity.
I also definitely used the onboard ambient mics to feed my IEM's with stage sound...that has been very useful for me. A pedal which combines VLP functionality with also a personal IEM mixer would be very useful for a lot of people. An IEM mixer needs to combine my own mic, with my own instrument (without using built in guitar or keyboard sounds), the FOH monitor feed, as well as the ambient mics....ideally with ability to pan each of those things into a stereo IEM mix to help distinguish them a bit (ambients are already stereo). Also, if this was provided with a mic splitter..to send pure mic to FOH...even better.
Is there any documentation available on the voicelive play's sysex implementation?
I have one but find it a little tedious to make changes with just the built-in encoder. i was hoping that voicesupport 2 supported preset editing for this but sadly not.
i know there are third-party programs available for other products (i.e. the GTX) but was unable to find any for the standard play, so i thought i would try and do that myself - but this will be a tedious process without any documentation.
Only documentation i've found so far is for the voicelive 3 but i'm assuming that this wouldn't translate to the play
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
The Voicelive Play does not react at all to the MCA 100. I have set up the VP for the correct mic type and have verified with a multimeter that the XLR cable is fine and the 48 V phantom power is present (the button lights up.). I have also downloaded and installed the latest firmware for the VP. I have tried with all of the modes: Hit; Hit/Talk and preset up; nothing works. Is there something else to try, or is the MCA 100 just defective?
Thanks; I have checked all of these things. The mics I have tried are SM57 and SM58; cables are all tested. Is it possible to diagnose what is going on by removing the mic and measuring the signals on the exposed pins? (I am an experimental physicist and have access to any kind of test equipment you can imagine.)
Hi all i got the same problem with my tc helicon Perform-V and the mca100 adapter, the button is blue all seems to be connected but the switch doesnt work, how can i solve? Thanx
Where do/how do I connect acoustic guitar to VoiceLive Play?
Thanks guys! Really appreciate the response. I wasn't aware that TC Helicon offered a VoiceLive Play Acoustic until after I got the VoiceLive Play. Still like the unit. That said, I'll give the connection a try. Thanks again! Paol
Hi,
My Voiceplay3 just powers up to a white screen, factory restet thru the headphone jack changes nothing. I've spent the afternoon trying to load voicesupport to my Mac but can't connect to a real TC Helicon download site and don't trust non genuine download sites.
I suspect my firmware has become corrupted.
If i cannot get the maintaince screen, is it still possible to reload the firmware thru the usb port?
Any other solutions or suggestions would be welcome
Thanks
Hi :) I'm an owner of a voicelive 3 and I have a problem with reverb. No matter what I do with settings of any reverb i can't hear any difference, like it just doestn work. I tried to change settings, decay etc but there is no difference. Maybe someone could help me with this, thank you
Reverb works on guitar section only.

Hello Music Tribe,
I am the proud owner of a play acoustic and a VL3X both of which have been awesome. I can say with certainty that they have shifted the way I approach live music. I have put thousands of hours and hundreds of gigs on each unit. Now after roughly 5 years I am having issues with both of them.
Play Acoustic-Scroll knob is broken, AC adapter port is wiggley, occasionally glitches out
VL3X-Large Scrool Wheel broken, Machine glithes out especially when I use the looper function (I have replaced the AC adapter per advice given to me from a rep and it definitely helped for a while but the problems came back)
I have already spoken to PanurgyOEM in New York, my closest service center, just wanted to make sure im doing the right thing before I shell out $65 per unit to diagnose. My goal is to get them both back to perfect working order so I can continue to use them. Hoping the repairs dont cost more than a brand new unit.

Output dropped by~ 80% (both mic & guitar which have correct level inputs) any idears?...thx
Hi, have loaded successfully, but has not solved...have contacted service...thank you ...bernard
FYI...solved with manufactures reset ..load updates & restore backed up parameter settings...BUT have a spare Voicelive 3 & purchased a V3 extreme
Anyone know where I can buy replacement mix knobs for V3?
