Frankly, I was pretty disappointed with the built in harmony settings, they often seemed to not match what was needed in anything other than simple I, IV, V progressions. With this setup, I could get absolute control over what notes were added in harmony and when. In trying to really get control over this thing, I started feeding it midi tracks and using the midi modes to control the actual harmony notes applied. I agree with a lot of the other comments: basically does a pretty good job, things sound muddy unless you use the "tone" button - but that is a little to hot, TC Helicon's documentation really sucks, the app/extra presets are not at all intuitive with virtually NO documentation. I've had this for about 6 mos and feel like I can finally give a somewhat intelligent review. Great vocal pedal if you are avoiding the higher end pedals from TC. So bottom line is I am having buyers remorse for spending $550 for the 2 pedals nine years ago compared to what I have now that cost less than half that amount. Also, I had feedback problems the "Correct". I love having only one pedal now, rather than 2 with all the connecting cords. (I know some reviews have struggled with its complexity, but it is intuitive for me.) I might find it easier to use since I know what my old pedals did and understood quickly the upgrades in the VK design. The VK sounds so much stronger vocally then my older pedals. I was not sure how much incremental value it would have over my current 2 pedals since the basic features are the same. I finally took the plunge and I am so glad I did. I have been eyeing this "Perform-VK" since it came out at the end of 2016 to replace my 2 pedals and because it is a smaller TC Helicon pedal with MIDI. A "Correct" for $250 and a "Harmony-M" for $300. No regrets here.ĩ years ago I purchased 2 pedals from TC Helicon. If you play keys and sing in a live environment, adding the TC Helicon Perform VK to your setup is an easy decision. On the other hand, I've yet to explore the "hit" function, which will essentially expand each of the existing presets. I have another brand's product and I spent hours and hours with that unit and still could not come close to sounding as good as the Perform VK does.Ī few more presets would be helpful. The harmonies track the midi coming out of my keyboard flawlessly. That's all it took to get that TC Helicon sound coming out of my system. I use a condenser mic so I turned on phantom power, set the gain, turned on the tone and pitch. All I had to do was connect my mic, a midi cable, and connect the output into my mixer. I went thru each one before ordering from Sweetwater.

There has to be around a dozen or so youtube videos on the net covering how to use this unit and set it up. After a couple of minutes of use, the whole unit becomes intuitive. TC Helicon has the user interface nailed.
