Product specialist Tom Lang takes you for a tour in this video... Vocal FX Highlights • Quick & easy access to Hundreds of effects presets • Total Harmony control • Create your own custom sounds • Adaptive Tone = your personal sound engineer • VLOOP performance looper µMod µMod, pronounced “micro mod” contains effects that chorus, flange or otherwise modulate the signal. These effects can range from subtle to extreme. For more information on Chorus see: Wikipedia Chorus Effect and Flanging: Wikipedia Flanging Effect Delay Also known as Echo, delay repeats the input sound in various ways, from single “taps” to multiple panned asynchronous repeats. Often, delay is mistaken for reverb in a song. It’s typical in a recording to use a small amount of both delay and reverb to create the desired spatial effect. For more information on the technical aspects of reverb, see: Wikipedia Delay Reverb Short for Reverberation, reverb simulates an acoustic space like a concert hall or a bathroom. Typically, slower songs use longer reverb and faster songs use shorter reverb. For more information on the technical aspects of reverb, see: Wikipedia Reverberation Harmony Likely the most popular and impressive of our effects suite, Harmony creates up to 8 voices of harmony (varies by product), based on your vocal input and surrounds you with professional sounding backup singers. Once you’ve added harmony to your performance, we think you’ll never want to sing without it. For more information on harmony and musical theory, check out: Wikipedia Harmony Double Doubling creates an effect that makes your voice sound “larger” in the mix. It’s an extremely popular effect in a wide variety of musical styles from Pop to Hip-Hop and everything in between. For more information on Doubling or “double tracking” see: Wikipedia Double Tracking HardTune Some people know it as the Cher or T-Pain effect. We call it HardTune. It’s a very aggressive form of pitch correction that forces the voice to “jump” from one note to the next in an almost robotic way. The effect works the best when confined to a set scale, where the intervals between notes are more noticeable. To get the most out of the effect, you’ll need to adapt your singing style to help accentuate the way that your voice shifts from note to note. Try sliding between notes. Transducer Any effect that provides overdrive, distortion or filter falls under Transducer effects. You’ll find effects like Megaphone, Radio, Amplifier Emulation and more here. Always take care when using transducer effects in a live situation. Due to the extreme gains and eq’s imparted on the signal, these effects are very prone to feedback. For more information on Transducers see: Wikipedia Transducer and Distortion: Wikipedia Distortion Total Harmony Control Never worry about your key when selecting harmonies. VoiceLive Play actually listens to your MP3 player (via AUX link) or your computer (via USB). And our embedded RoomSenseTM mics can control your harmonies simply from the sounds of nearby instruments. Dial in Your Custom Sound When you choose an effect you’ll immediately see a unique icon making it easier to quickly find the sound you’re looking for. We call it icon based editing - it's intuitive and simple to use. You easily move through screens, pick your style, tweak some parameters and, voila, you now have your own vocal sound which you can recall any time. Transform Your Singing with Loops The VLOOP performance looper allows you to create vocal loops for solo jamming or impressive layered live performances. VLOOP is also handy for soundcheck: record a short phrase and walk out into the audience to check levels while your “virtual you” plays!

Review: Very clever piece of kit, takes a bit of getting used to but worth it - So the backstory is we’ve recently put our old school band back together but the vocalist moved away so I’ve had to step in. Never sang in a band before but I have played in them quite a bit so I have a reasonable level of experience. Decided I needed to some vocal effects and after doing some research settled on the TC-Helicon Play. So far so good, observations below… Initial setup: There is a cartoon style quick start guide which gets you up and running easily enough but be aware you’ll have to go in and learn some of the setup controls to make the best of the unit based on your own requirements, microphone, PA setup etc… The menu takes a few minutes to get used to but it’s actually pretty intuitive when you get used to it. Controls: The selection knob is cool, you can quickly cycle through presets with eace and the buttons all feel solid and high quality. As stated below most stuff is pretty intuitive – only a couple of moments where I have scratched by head once or twice but I downloaded the PDF instruction book and referred to the forums a couple of times which are pretty good. Tone settings: This is set globally and you have a variety of settings to choose from, I have a bit of a trebly / upper mid range voice to I selected a setting that adds a bit of warmth and it has made a bit difference. It auto applies various compression and EQ settings and as long as you’re happy enough to let the unit do all the thinking for you it is basically like having a sound engineer working for you in a stomp box. Auto tune: Seems like in a lot of reviews I read about these types of units everyone just kind of skips over auto tune like they are embarrassed to admit using it. Well guess what, I use it and that’s one of the reasons you buy a unit like this! I don’t want to sound like Cher or Kanye but you know what? When you’re 10 or 12 songs in and you’re aiming for that stretched high note sometimes a little help is really handy! There is a global setting that sets the overall ‘how dramatic you want it’ setting and then you can turn it off and on plus tweek some other settings on a per preset basis. I was after a natural sounding key correction for those moments where it’s clear I’m still new to being the front man and it manages that really well. I haven’t tried some of the more ridiculous settings because, well, why would you? One point to note which is mentioned in the instruction book – sometimes when using auto tune you hear a ‘doubling effect’ which can seem a bit weird when singing, it can be a bit off putting to be honest – that’s because you can hear both the ‘in tune’ output signal through the speakers and the ‘not quite so perfect’ version resonating in your head. That’s nothing to do with the unit; it just means it’s working and helping you out, you’d get that with every auto tune unit. Harmonies and doubling: Struggled a bit with harmonies at first and I would say don’t over use them – nothing looks more obvious on stage that one guy singing away with the voice of a choir but after making sure I got the key and various other settings right they seem ok to use in short bursts for emphasis. The doubling I use a lot more but be sure to use the level to bring up or down the effect to where you want it. Other effects: You can do all kids of weird and wonderful stuff like megaphone effects, change gender etc… all of which are very good but often best used in a limited fashion. I have used the transducer setting on a couple of songs though with good effect. Using the presets: The way the unit works is that you create a preset which gives you a base setting, for example a bit of reverb, delay and auto tuning perhaps and then for each pre-set you can also create a ‘Hit’ setting on which you can store additional settings such as doubling or harmonies. This works really well and is pretty intuitive, it certainly works for the majority of songs we perform where you may want to add emphasis on the chorus but there are occasions where you are better off creating two presets next to each other and swapping between them. For example I haven’t found a way of having one reverb setting for the main sound and another when you apply the Hit setting so if you want a different setting you need to use two presets. Navigating the presets is pretty easy though, the knob cycles through them quickly, you can create ‘favourites’ etc… and creating a new one is pretty straightforward. Looping: It does looping. It does it loads better than I can so I’ve only messed around with it as I have no idea what I’m doing. The only time I’ve used it was to insult our guitarist repeatedly and hilariously during band practice and it worked very well. Practice mode: This was a big plus for me in that you can plug an MP3 player (or whatever) into it via the AUX socket and if you’re on the right setting it can attempt to strip out the vocals of the song so you can practice singing along almost as if it were a backing track. In practice I’ve found this works quite well with tracks that have very clear, easily distinguished vocals, you get mixed results with other stuff but tbh it’s not bad at all. You also see how well you are doing at hitting all the right notes as it keeps track and tells you which notes you’re struggling with. I look at this when I’m feeling brave. Silly stuff: My kids love the Barry White, Tinkebell and various robot settings. There’s quite a cool one where you can sound like Predator or another which is like Princess Leia in the part of Return of the Jedi when she’s disguised as a bounty hunter and rescuing Han from Jabba’s palace. But anyway, you can have a lot of fun with it. If you have the rest of the gear you can also set up a great home karaoke machine by plugging in a tablet to the AUX, setting it in practice mode and loading up those YouTube video’s with the lyrics on. From a guitarists point of view: I play electric guitar as well in the band and so a small stomp box format to sit alongside by guitar effects unit is ideal rather than anything touch operated. I did for a while consider going for the more expensive version which incorporates electric guitar effects as I liked the idea of having everything in one unit but to be honest I when I looked deeper into it there seemed to be too many limitations on how you swap between guitar effects while performing etc.. and I could imagine it getting a bit confusing, also the range of effects was pretty limited compared to the separate guitar effects unit I use so I opted for the straight forward vocal ones which is about £40-50 cheaper than the Play Electric version at the time of writing. Overall then this unit is excellent. I went to music college for a while back in the 90’s and you would have had to pay thousands for technology that could do what this unit does and some of them hadn’t even been invented (if you wanted to sound like you were singing through a telephone you had to use a telephone). Great value for money, yes there are much more comprehensive units out there for more money but if you want something to help you sound great without a load of fuss then this is for you. Our other guitarist is actually considering getting one just to help out with backing vocals.
Review: professional sound but simple to use - 1. Very simple to use. 2. Excellent for gigging as you can programme the unit for every song in the set. 3. The USB link helps you keep the software and presets up to date. 4. The harmony is excellent and there are video tutorials to take you through the instructions which are really practical. 5. The variety of reverb is astounding and really good quality. For the price this is an exceptional unit- highly recommended. 6. There are some cracking presets, which give an extremely professional sound.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Best sound of all brands tried, but fiddly not intuitive
*by T***U on 20 November 2017*

Pros Array of effects as many as I use on my DAW (more than boss) Not explored everything yet but effects comprehensive Sounds infinitely better than boss ve 20, ve 5 I'm not pro but sounds like I'm in a studio environment but live! Superb metal build quality Foot activated great! Can monitor your vocal through unit whilst performing live whilst unit is plugged into pa. I use an headphone extension lead. This is a relief when the band is so loud and you don't have monitors or have no control over the sound. I also have a wireless sure in ear monitor. But sometimes it can be too much stuff to connect up. Presets great starting point for making own. Also at first you might think they aren't very good, but after using them for a while they are really really really good!!!!!! Cons Feeds back really badly unless you get settings correct , which is hard to work out how to do, can't find help how to on line Pre program, can't do it live too fiddly Menus with deep paths (boss ve-8 better has knobs for most things) No batteries only mains Not very intuitive, not many buttons, small screen
