      PedroRodrigues Hi LEOGATO7, thank you for your post, please ponder that this unit the Play Acoustic offers several parameters to set up the output such as:

      1)-The Vocal/Guitar (DI) setting, with this setting, vocal and Aux signals are sent over one XLR connector, and guitar signals over the other XLR.

      2)- With the Stereo setting, a stereo mix of Vocal, Guitar and Aux signals is sent over both XLR outputs

      3)-With the Mono Setting all effected vocal and guitar sounds are sent via the left XLR output.
      Dry vocals, with Tone and pitch correction, if you have set the Pitch Cor Amt parameter on the Input page to a value other than zero, are sent via the right XLR output.

      The unit also offers on the outputs stage tools such as the Vocal cancelation function and the Lead Mute parameter.
      The first tool that attempts to remove the vocals from a piece of music while the second tool mutes the lead vocal and only output the processed signals.


      1)- With the Off setting/ On setting
      When it’s on “Off set mode” no processing is performed on the Aux input signal.
      When it’s on “On setting mode”, Play Acoustic will attempt to remove lead vocals from a piece of music.
      This will create “Karaoke” style music for you to sing along to, including key information for harmony generation.

      2)- With the Off setting/ On setting
      When the Lead Mute parameter has the “Off setting” activated Lead Vocals are routed to the main mix.
      When the Lead Mute parameter has the “On setting” activated Lead vocals are removed from the main mix.


      I hope this clarifies the options you have available to configure your unit and how you must set it up to reflect your creative intentions.

      For a more information on how to set up your unit’s output please follow the link below to access the full manual for your PLAY ACOUSTIC, please check pages 21 and 27

    VL 3 XTREME - USB AUDIO IS NOT DETECTED ON MAC AFTER FACTORY SETTINGS RESTART! H... | Vocal Effects

    I wanted to install the latest update just because the internal mics are always doing feedback on the PA speakers no matter what and I could not find any option to turn off that mic or something about it. So I used to record no problem on LOGIC, but then I opened the newest VOICESUPPORT 2 and it wasn't being detected (VOICELIVE 3 icon appeared on MIDI DEVICES with a question mark below it, and the VOICELIVE 3 XTREME icon was on MY OFFLINE TCH DEVICES). It is recognized as a MIDI only, so I decided to do a factory setting restart. After that it is not recognized by the mac as a sound device anymore, Voicesupport2 and Logic as well. Tried in 2 different macs.

    It is crazy that something ended on making the VL3X useless for me, i'm very dissapointed of the many user unfriendly things about it. I'm begging for some help!!

      Mirsa Hey, you need to maybe install the 2.2 firmware again before because yours is not 2.2 after factory reset ?
      • May 27
    • OzPianist
      PedroRodrigues Hi OzPianist, thank you for your post, please follow the link below to access the tools and the guidance to perform a firmware update on your VL3X

      https://wsi.li/dl/ofsYxC2S3tR6teiZc/

      When the update process is concluded, and you wish to connect your VL3X to the VOICESUPPORT 2 it is important that you confirm that you do not have any DAW or any MIDI software running on your computer to avoid any issue connecting with VOICESUPPORT 2.


      To set up your VL3X with a PA, please see the set-up guide on the picture below.

      I hope this helps

    Voicelive 3 Extreme not turning on? (18 months old) | Vocal Effects

    Hi everyone

    Had my Voicelive 3 Extreme for 18 months and all of a sudden it won't turn on.  No lights, screen, nothing.

    I haven't even gigged with it yet, so very disappointed.

    Has anyone had this happen?

    David

      NicJonesMT Hi Floydrose2005.
      Can you please click support at the top of the page and submit a technical support ticket.
      What is the Voltage, Amps and Polarity of the power cable you are currently using, and have you tested with an alternative cable?

    VoiceLive Play Feature Request: Robot as a Harmony/Double | Vocal Effects

    The VoiceLive Play has a brilliant range of features available. But one thing I've found could be really useful if implemented slightly differently in the software would be the Robot autotune - currently it's only available in the "hardtune" area, so the effect can only be applied to your lead vocal, without the original vocal passing through.

    A really creative way of using the Robot would be either as a "double" or "harmony" - so that you could set your robot to a specific note, then you can sing lead on whatever note you want, while the robot stays on note you've set. If there's already a way of doing this, I'd love to hear it! :-)

      PedroRodrigues Hi mchugh48, thank you for your post, form your description I would assume you are referring to the TC HELICON VOICELIVE PLAY.
      This pedal was designed to be connected directly with a Desk or a PA system .There are 3 settings for the OUTPUT

      1 . STEREO – XLR outputs receive a stereo mix of all voices and other inputs .
      2 . MONO – A MONO full-mix signal is on the LEFT and a DRY vocal is on the RIGHT .
      Any Tone and Pitch Cor Amt settings from the Setup menu are included on the RIGHT DRY channel .
      3 . DUAL MONO - A MONO effected voice signal (all voices) is on the LEFT and AUX is on the RIGHT.

      This is great for sending music to one channel of a PA and Vocals to another, especially in a Karaoke situation.
      Vocal Cancel – Attempts to remove the vocals from a piece of music .


      There are two settings:


      1 . OFF – No processing is performed on the aux input .
      2 . ON – Processing occurs to attempt to remove lead vocals from a piece of music .

      This process can create “Karaoke” style music for you to sing along to, including key information for harmony generation.
      The processing capability can vary quite a bit from song to song, depend- ing on the way the song was originally mixed .

      Lead Mute – Mutes the Lead vocal and only outputs processed signals .


      There are two settings:


      1 . OFF – Lead vocals are routed to the main mix .
      2 . ON – Lead vocals are removed from the main mix .


      Digital Out Level – Controls the USB output level .


      Headphone Lim – Controls the level at which the headphone output limiter engages.
      Levels closer to 0db allow for louder headphone output levels.

      Thank you very much for that detailed explanation. What I did was do a factory reset on the Box and that seemed to fix the problem

    VoiceLive Play as a mixer processor | Vocal Effects

    I am contemplating using a TC Helicon VoiceLive Play as an effect with a H&A QU32 digital mixer.  Here is what I have in mind reading the manual.  Does this seem right?  My goal is lead vocal (dry) into unit from  the mixer and only harmonies/effects return (wet) to the mixer.  If you can suggest another TC Helicon product that might do better than the VoiceLive Play let me know.

    Scenario

    Aux in for musical input for harmony generation from mixer (line level) using "Live" setting

    Mic Input with vocal to be processed from mixer (can a line level be used instead of a mic level)

    Left Out - Dual Mono-a-Mono   Voices Only with "Lead" mute "on" so only the harmonies come through

    Right out - nothing, not needed

      PedroRodrigues Hi Wannjlw, thank you for your post, your proposed set up for the VOICELIVE PLAY seems to be configurable, nevertheless please take in to account that the VoiceLive Play Mic Input only accepts Mic Level. In this case you can attempt to use an adaptor that will help you manage the signal discrepancies, but please consider that is not an officially supported solution and we cannot guarantee the results. I hope this helps. Thank you

    TC Helicon VLR Midi Issue | Vocal Effects

    Hey all, was wondering if anyone else had some problems when controlling the Voice Live Rack (or VL3 it happens to both) in Ableton. I'm controlling the Presets via midi on a song by song basis for synced BPM eg. It works well but if we ever mistrigger, turn off the tracks or restart a song it sends a message to turn the Transducer on. I've had a look and I can't figure out why this happens. Was hoping someone could have a fix.

     

    Cheers!

    VL3X External control | Vocal Effects

    Hello everybody,

    I want to perform hands-on, modifying in real-time the effects of VLX3. Is it possible to control the device externally via Midi knobs, especially with Arturia Beatstep or iOS TouchDesign ( CC/SysEx )? 

    Please help me with suggestions. Thank you.

      PedroRodrigues Hi Xeraphixos, thank you for your post, please ponder that this is a not official configuration process, due to the use of External tools but I can recommend you attempt the following implementation that we have confirmed with other customer that works.
      The below works successfully when triggering VL3X from Linkesoft Songbook via iRig MIDI2 interface.
      Triggering commands are entered on the Songbook edit page which operates in chord pro hence {} brackets.

      Syntax
      {midi:CC32.# PC#}
      Where CC32 is the bank number and PC is the program preset

      Bank 0 runs from 1 - 128
      Bank 1 runs from 129 - 256
      Bank 2 runs from 257 - 384
      Bank 3 runs from 385 - 513 Note VL3x only has 500 presets

      Also note midi starts at 0 and not 1
      This is important when you want a particular preset. The PC entered needs to be -1 from the preset you want

      Example for preset 1
      {midi:CC32.0 PC0}

      Example for preset 129
      {midi:CC32.1 PC0}

      Example for preset 257
      {midi:CC32.2 PC0}

      Example for preset 385
      {midi:CC32.3 PC0}

      Calculating presets:
      If you want preset 208 on the VL3x
      208 - 129 (which is starting number in the bank 208 falls into) = 79
      So syntax would be {midi:CC32.1 PC79}

      Again:
      If you want preset 494 on the VL3x
      494 - 385 which is starting number in the bank 385 falls into) = 109
      So syntax would be {midi:CC32.3 PC109}

      Its worth again noting on the VL3x the preset needs to be active to be selected. If there's nothing on preset 498 then the VL3x does not change when command is sent from the page on songbook you have chosen.

      I hope this helps

      Thank you

    TC Helicon VoiceLive 2 harmony options? | Vocal Effects

    Hello,

    I'm trying to decide if I should get the VoiceLive 2 as a live harmonizer. On videos and in the manual, I'm seeing different harmony "styles" to choose from, like "high". "octave up". "high & octave up", etc. Is this as specific as it can get? I'm looking for something that I can program to specific intervals like 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th. Is this possible on the voicelive 2?
