Voicelive 3(X) Looper has three loop banks if understand correctly: Loop A, Loop B, and Loop C. Is Loop C only accessible after using either A or B first and then using the SWAP function to activate it? If I'm correct on this are there any plans on a new firmware update to make this obsolete and making access to Loop C more direct? Every comparable loopstation (Headrush, RC-300) has direct access to the third loop without extra tap dancing. That and the ability to Bounce a loop from one bank to another would be awesome!!! ?????
You can use SWAP before recording anything to record into loop C, but you still need to use SWAP (which makes using all 3 loops hard).
As for updates, there have been no updates for the VL3X for 2 years, so the general feeling is that there are unlikely to be any (even with no replacement product in sight). I know that @TCH-Spencer continues to collect feature requests, but I've basically given up hoping.
Even if there was, I doubt that fundamentally redesigning the looper would be included. However, I'd love to be proven wrong.
Hey @Mayaman72,
Provided you're on the latest firmware (366) you can hold the "Util" footswitch to begin recording directly into track C, or if track A is already looping you can press the same footswitch but it's labelled "Swap" and that'll record into C as well. Page 136 of the manual covers the Swap button if you're interested. Cheers!
Hello guys.
I’ve recently purchased the VL3 extreme after my VLplay electric died. On this unit I see that you can import your backing tracks and play them directly from the unit. An awesome feature. However I play in a trio and we use some backing tracks with a click track. Is it possible to have the click track not go to the main mix and also have it heard through the IEM of the other band members? This is of course very standard procedure and without it playing backing tracks through the VL3 is kinda useless. Hope someone can help me out with this. Thank you.
Hey @ajdaames,
There are couple options for working with a click track depending on how much you want to interact with your VoiceLive 3. If you want to be pretty hands-off and automate effects, then a pre-made click track imported as a Backing Track is the way to go - make the track the length of your song and automate effect changes so you can just sing and not have to think about toggling effects. But if you want to be more involved, you can use the metronome in the loop layer as a click, and you can manually toggle effects and even create loops quantized to the click. The metronome can be synced with incoming MIDI clock too btw.
In either case, you can output the Backing Track or Metronome to just the VoiceLive's headphone output and remove it from the main XLR outputs pretty easily. This is done in the "Mix" menu, which you access by going to the "Home" screen then tweaking any of the small four knobs below the screen, the "Main Mix" tab affects the two main XLR outputs so you'd just lower either the "Track" or "Metronome" level all the down to "Off" to remove it from the main outs. The "Headphone Mix" tab obviously adjust the output of the 3.5mm headphone output so just ensure the "Track Level" or "Metronome" level is turned up there so it's heard by your band. Cheers!
I am a newbie so please excuse question that might have been dealt with previously
I have a VL3E and Play Acoustic
My questions are:
1.) I would like to get the chopper effect from the VL3E onto the Play acoustic is this possible?
2.) I would also like to get the effect Group Shout preset 49 on the Play Acoustic onto the VL3E is this possible ?
Hey @DidjMaz,
Unfortunately the answer to both of your questions is "no". PlayAcoustic is pretty limited when compared to VoiceLive 3. There isn't any Chopper effect, or even an equivalent. As for the group shout, that's not in PlayAcoustic either but you may be able to get close by using the doubling "Shout" style in combination with a couple harmony voices?
Hi,
Guitar Rack crashes when I try to unlock the full features with Go Guitar Pro & iPhone X with iOS 13. Works fine with my iPad that has older OS.
Most likely the Guitar Rack app should be updated to support iOS 13.
What will be the set up or if there is any preset for Cranberries songs in the TC Helicon Voicelive Play?
I own a perform V however it does not fit on my microphone stand and it is very difficult to change the effects during a performance. I am considering purchasing a mic mechanic or a voice live play. I need something very simple that I don’t really need to change the settings on too much. I sing popular type rock.
Can you please make a suggestion for me? I know they perform V has doubling I don’t see this on the mic mechanic and not really sure if I need it. Mostly I want tone, pitch correction and a little fuller voice with a very small amount of reverb/echo. I am not a pro so I need something very simple. Please help, thank you
Hey @Dale11,
It sounds to me like the Duplicator is the pedal for you. It has doubling, reverb, pitch correction, and Tone.
Also in regards to your Perform-V not fitting on your mic stand, please check out David's rant. You might just need to put some muscle into it, it's very unlikely that you'll be able to break the plastic on the Perform-V's mic clip by forcing it on there.
The Duplicator looks pretty darn nice....and SIMPLE...which is good. I really love my VoiceLive Play a lot though. I like having presets. Truthfully I don't end up using much more than what that Duplicator can do, but I have found it beneficial, as a backup singer, to be able to totally disable my mic with a muted preset, for songs I don't sing on, for example. I don't see how this unit would let you adjust the gating sensitivity, for example, where with the VoiceLivePlay you have more options to configure how all that stuff works.
Is it possible to use a single foot pedal to control the perform VK to toggle between talk and harmonies?
Hey @danielvaloff,
1) This is a weird one I haven't seen before. My suggestion is to back up any custom presets you've made with VoiceSupport 2, then perform a factory reset (which is covered on page 177 of the manual). If that doesn't work, you'll probably have to get in contact with our support team to troubleshoot this further, or alternatively if the unit is new-enough maybe exchange it with whichever retailler you bought it from.
2) You're correct that the "Compression" label on the footswitch is referring to the guitar layer. Vocal compression is global, controlled in the "Setup" menu on the "Tone" tab, and you cannot set it up per-preset. You can however slightly adjust the vocal level of each preset, in the "Vocal" menu on the "Preset" tab you can adjust the "Vocal Level Trim" parameter to give each preset +-6dB on you vocals.
3) Nope, unfortunately only one vocal reverb can be active at a time, so once you've switched Steps the new reverb is the active one and the old tails are either extended or cut depending on the new reverb's settings.
(Alas... I think I know the answer.)
Hey Folks. Just wondering if there's any way of routing the Aux input to the PA looper? I have an analogue wooden 'kick drum' stomp box pedal, (Australian made 'little Monster') which when plugged into the 'Aux in' via a 1/4" to 1/8" mini jack lead 'pumps' out through the PA's 'Main Outs' quite nicely. Just wondering if there is a setting option to get this into the looper on the PA?
It would be great if I could 'stomp' out a bar or two at the start of songs during live sets which would record into the looper... to save my tired foot! Cheers in advance - Mark Mac
Hey @markmcilvena,
Yep this is already implemented! Assuming you're on the latest firmware (48), just go into the "Setup" menu, and on the "Loop" page there's the "Input" setting which has "Aux" as one of the options. Cheers!
Man thanks, never thought of doing this.
Off to buy a lead converter and give it a go.
Slainte.
