On the right side of the TC Helicon Perform V interface, there are three buttons which can be used to assign your customized presets, which you can integrate from the TC Helicon Perform V mobile app (available for iOS and Android).Īt the bottom, there is a ‘Talk’ button which disengages all effects, to allow for vocalists to speak to the crowd in-between songs, without any distracting vocal effects being heard. This is especially useful if you’re a solo performer and you have your speakers positioned behind where you’re singing from, which would usually cause feedback, but not with the Perform-V.Īnd then on the top right, there’s a ‘Pitch’ button, to engage auto-chromatic pitch correction, and a ’48v’ button, to activate phantom power, to power a condenser microphone. Next to the ‘Tone’ button, we have the ‘Anti-Feedback’ button, which as you can imagine, engages an algorithm to automatically prevent feedback from occurring. Additionally, there’s a ‘Tone’ button, which engages TC Helicon’s Adaptive Tone functionality, which essentially allows the unit to automate the use of EQ, Gating, Compression, and De-Essing based on your voice. On the top, we have a ‘Set’ button, to engage automatic microphone input gain, allowing for a very easy mic setup. Not only this, but you can hold the buttons to do further editing to these default effects.

On the left, we have the Double, Reverb and Echo buttons, which each provides 4 types of the effect. The unit has all of its main controls located on the front of the interface, making it easily accessible for vocalists during a performance.

TC Helicon are known for producing easy to use products, and the Perform V does not disappoint in this area. Lets not forget, as with all of TC Helicon’s products, the VoiceTone E1 comes with a 3-year warranty. Therefore, if you’re looking for a unit which offers a lot of delay/echo styles and settings, the VoiceTone E1 is a fantastic solution for you. The Voicetone E1 has an extremely useful feature where users can control the E1 directly from their microphone, which is called Mic Control™.įinally, it has a large footswitch which is used to engage and disengage the unit’s effects, especially useful during a live performance, where you can engage and disengage the effects easily, without having to bend down. The middle control knob ‘Feedback’, controls the length of the echo repeats. The left control knob is used to select 1 of the 13 different delay styles, which include slapback/flutter echos, non-tempo matched echos, timed echos, special effects echos and much more. The right control knob is used to adjust the level of dry (raw input) and wet (echo) signal Hence, turning this over to the left will provide less echo in the final mix, and turning it over to the right will provide more echo in the output mix. We’ve constructed our product review of the VoiceTone E1 in a way which not only talks about its unique features, but also includes high-quality images, demonstration videos and informational videos.
BEST VOCAL PROCSSOR SERIES
None the less, in the 19 years that the business has been in operation, they’ve managed to produce several well-known effects units, including the VoiceTone series (which the E1 unit is part of), alongside other series such as the VoiceLive series. TC Helicon was recently acquired in 2015 by Music Tribe, who is the parent company of Behringer, Bugera, Midas, Turbosound & Klark Teknik.

The company which is TC Helicon generally need no introduction when it comes to discussing vocal effects technology, as they’ve been pioneering the industry since the early 2000’s when the company was initially founded. It’s good to have if you’re performing in a place with poor acoustics and you want it to sound as if you’re singing in a church. This is another one trick pony that basically only does different kinds of echoes and lets you change your tone and make it dry or wet.

The TC Electronics Singles VoiceTone E1 looks cool and is easy to use since it doesn’t have too many weird effects you won’t use anyway.
