I have one of the first TC Helicon Play Acoustic you could get in the USA. So new, in fact, they didn't even label the buttons correctly! That said, it hit the ground running with me and has made this working musician thousands of dollars. I've loved it's simplicity (I ditchted the mixing board for it!). I don't use nearly all the features. In fact, I only use it to route and sweeten me and my guitar. It has been a workhorse and has never let me down. Lately though, towards the end of the night, I swear it starts adding a bit of far off background vocals to the signal. At first, I thought it was patrons singing along, then I notice no one is singing. I've had a few folks ask me about it and frankly I am a bit puzzled. See, I don't use any of the harmony capabilities of this unit. Just straight up guitar, with some body rez and a little reverb on the voice. That is all. So... I wondered if anyone else has ever noticed any mysterious "voices" in the output of their Acoustic Play? It is very subtle. Just enough to make me question my sanity. Anyone?
Hallo ich suche verzweifelt einen Weg Backingtracks per Midi zu starten. Ich benutze das tc helicon voicelive 3 extrem.
Auch wenn ich den Start auf ein Taste lege, die sonst über Midi steuerbar ist, verliert diese Taste ihre Midi Fähigkeit.
Meine Host App ist songbook+ auf dem iPad.
Hello I am desperately looking for a way to start backing tracks via midi. I use the tc helicon voicelive 3 extreme.
Even if I put the "start" on a key that is otherwise controllable via midi, this button loses its midi capability.
My host app is songbook+ on the iPad.
Hi, Mr. Rodrigues,
I already understand the way to send midi commands from my app to the vlx3 and it works for functions like Chorus or Echo.
Unfortunately there is no midi command to start the playback of a backing track via a midi command sended from the host app,
to start a playback on vl3x in sync with the Text-Scrolling on the host app!? Is there a workaround? Is it possible to start
the playback automatically while opening a preset initiated by the host app? (I know how to select a preset on the vlx3 via the app!)
Best regards
Klaus
I have a TC Helicon Voicelive play unit that seems to have a short in the footswitch. i need it fixed as soon as possible be fore my next gig,
I bought a TC Helicon Harmony G-XT a few months ago. During my last recording sessions it worked fine. After writing new songs to record I hooked up the rig and now signal from the microhone to the mixer. I thought it might be the guitar needed to be hooked up to activate the mic. The guitar plays through to the mixer, but still no mic.
Is there some setting that I am missing that is keeping the mic from working? Does the mic input just stop working? I have replaced both XLR cables with new ones and still no signal to the mixer. What am I missing?
I desperately need to turn global key off. I have cycled through the setup menu without finding it. My first day with this unit, all presets are locked on C major. Help!
I have done so, and I await a response. It doesn’t seem like a difficult question for the initiated. Anyone? I must admit, any piece of gear with a small led display and a plethora of sub menus is usually learning curve anathema for me.
I am so [email protected]#$ pissed off at this thing right now. I've read the manual in excrutiating detail and CAN NOT record over a previsouly recorded sequence. I have tried everything I can think of. Hit the RECORD button, let it RECORD over the SEQUENCE, hit the STOP button. I go to track view and make sure all the SEQ marks are missing. I"ve tried saving it and not saving but no matter each time I end the recording/Sequence/Backtrack. Then I switch to a new track and right back to the one I was working on and there are the same old SEQ marks that I just saw were deleted when I recorded over them. And can anyome tell me what a category TC-Helicon claims a VL3X is? What a STUPID way of referencing. Why don't they just have VL3X in the product category. Sorry, I'm just really PO right now. Any help would be appreciated.
Okay, I got that loops and tracks are separate things. But if I have a loop assigned to a footswitch, why can't I select that footswitch from within the track? Will the loop just not play?
The lights come on and the unit seems to be working but I get no sound or effects. NOTHING!!!
Hello
Talk box synth has crackling that comes and goes when using with an electrovoice mic.....and is fine when i use a shure. Sometimes when the crackling happens the talkbox switch indicator flickers and lights up for a moment. Swapped out all of my cables and is still an issue.
I have a VoiceLive3 Extereme I was trying to use USB port for MIDI as this is an option. Has anyone used a 3rd party adapter to accomplish something similar? I just purchased a Bluettooth MIDI adapter but I could not find one in USB form factor. I was curious to know if anyone in community has been successful in locating and using a Bluetooth USB adapter with VL3X? I'm just using this with SetList Maker to control backing tracks, song selection, etc.
