Welcome to VoiceTone Create

VoiceTone Create was built for the performance

minded singer desiring studio quality effects on stage. In

essence, Create is the professional producer and all of

his/her tools, boiled down into one easy to use, and very

portable pedal. The effects in VoiceTone Create are

produced by the very same algorithms used in high-end

studio hardware processors and software plug-ins. In

terms of audio quality (noise floor, harmonic distortion,

and frequency response), Create surpasses anything that

has come before it, and unarguably exceeds even the

most stringent "audiophile" standards. To make your life

as easy as possible, Create presents a wide pallet of

professionally authored sounds, offering singers instant

portholes into the secrets behind producing great

sounds for any music genre. Where out-of-the-box

sounds aren't enough, Create provides powerfully

simple tweak controls, intelligently designed to give you

exactly what you need to find the sound you want.

Many audience members, band members and sound

engineers may be surprised to see a singer taking

control over their sound. We think it's about time!

Features:

o Reverb: halls, rooms, plates, spring, ambience

o Delay: tap tempo, ping pong, slaps, taps

o μMod: microshift, thicken, chorus, flange, phaser

o Transducer: distortion, telephone, megaphone, filters

o 99 music-style-based effect patches

o 5 "favorite" user performances each including flexible

A/B effect switching

o Quick and easy tweaking of patches

o XLR mic level I/O in stereo or mono

o Clean, studio quality mic preamp with phantom power

Introduction

About TC-Helicon

At TC-Helicon we truly believe that the voice is the

world's most beautiful instrument. We don't mean to

degrade other beautiful instruments, but the singing

voice is the anthropological source for all things melodic.

In the words of the founders of TC-Helicon,

"Everything we do is dedicated to this instrument (the

singing voice). We envision a world where those who

work with the voice in live and recording situations can

bring out the very best from any performance, and

where the possibilities of vocal craft are endless."

Our mission was galvanized by a simple question:

"Isn't it time that someone finally provided dedicated

tools and solutions for voice?"

So what does this all mean to singers? It means that you

should know there is a dedicated group of engineers,

researchers and product specialists, based in Victoria, BC,

Canada, who spend every waking moment of their

working lives listening, talking, singing, and interacting

with singers and those who have passion for the singing

voice. All this knowledge and experience is used to

design products respecting and empowering the

modern vocalist. Our products focus on removing

barriers and inspiring creativity in performance. That's

why our products range from near-field personal vocal

monitors to floor-based vocal multi-effects pedals.

Enjoy.

Introduction

Step 1:

Connect your microphone to a mic cable

Step 2:

Connect the mic cable to the Mic Input on Create

Quick Start

Make sure Create is not powered.

NOTE:

Step 3:

Connect a mic cable to the Left (mono) Output of

Create.

Step 4:

Connect the mic cable from Create to a mic input on

your sound system.

Quick Start

At this point it would be best to turn the gain and/or

volume on your sound system's mic input to off.

NOTE:

Step 5:

Set the Input Knob fully left, and the Mix Knob to 12

o'clock.

Step 6:

Connect Create's power adapter to main power and to

the Power Input on Create.

Quick Start

Step 7:

While singing through your microphone, raise the Input

Knob until the Input Light turns green, sometimes

orange on louder parts, but never red.

Step 8:

Raise the gain and/or volume on your sound system mic

input channel and master volume until you hear a good

level from your vocals.

Quick Start

Step 9:

You're ready to add effects to your voice.

a. Turn the effect on or off with the Right Footswitch.

b. Listen to different patches by slowly turning the

Patch Knob.

Quick Start

You can use two VoiceTone pedals in series. Generally,

VoiceTone Create should be the last device in the chain

before connecting to your PA.

Step 1:

Follow the Quick Start guide for both VoiceTone Pedals.

Step 2:

Instead of connecting your first VoiceTone pedal to the

PA, connect its mono output to the mic input on Create.

Step 3:

Connect the 2nd VoiceTone pedal, in this case Create to

the PA.

Step 4:

Set VoiceTone Create’s Input Knob fully left.

Step 5:

Use the first pedal’s Input Knob to set the microphone

gain.

Using Two VoiceTone Pedals

1. Input Knob

Controls the microphone pre-amplifier gain. Create can

accept dynamic or condenser microphones.

2. Input Light

Indicates the input level of the microphone. Flashing

green, sometimes orange is good. Flashing red is clipping

- not good!

3. Patch Knob

Selects from the 99 effect patches.

4.Tweak X / Y Knobs

Controls two useful aspects of the selected patch.

5. Mix Knob

Sets the global mix of effects and dry. 12 o'clock is the

default position.

Phantom Power

Before using any setup configuration, determine the type

of microphone you are using:

Dynamic microphone: phantom power off.

Condenser microphone: phantom power on.

Enabling Phantom Power:

1. Confirm that your sound system master level is off.

2. Connect Create's power adapter to main power

and to the Power Input on Create.

3. Press and hold Performance Buttons 1 and 2

simultaneously until the Phantom Power Light comes on.

To turn phantom power off, repeat this step.

Setup Configurations

Set your sound system level to off when you are

turning phantom power on/off as it can create a

“pop” sound in your speakers.

NOTE:

Standard Setup

The standard setup for VoiceTone Create couldn't be

easier - put Create between your microphone and your

microphone input on your sound system. In this

configuration the Right Output is not used. The Left

Output is a mono mix of effects and dry, based on the

setting of the Mix Knob.

Configuring Standard Setup:

1. Connect your microphone to Create's Mic Input.

2. Connect to your sound system as indicated: Left

Output to a mic input channel on your sound system.

3. Connect Create's power adapter to main power

and to the Power Input on Create.

Setup Configurations

The default for Create is stereo mode off (mono). If

the Stereo Light is on, press and hold Performance

Buttons 4 and 5 simultaneously until the Stereo Light

turns off.

NOTE:

Stereo Setup

If you run your sound system in stereo, you can enable

stereo mode. In this setup, effect patches have more

spatial effect. In this configuration, the Left and Right

Outputs are connected to two inputs on your sound

system. The Mix Knob controls the balance of stereo

effects and dry.

Configuring Stereo Setup:

1. Connect your microphone to Create's Mic Input.

2. Connect to your sound system as indicated: Left

Output and Right Outputs to two mic input channels on

your sound system. Set the pan pots on your sound

system fully left (from Create's Left Input) and fully right

(from Create's Right Output).

3. Connect Create's power adapter to main power

and to the Power Input on Create.

4. Press and hold Performance Buttons 4 and 5

simultaneously until the Stereo Light comes on.To turn

stereo mode off, repeat this step.

Setup Configurations

Sound Engineer Setup

If you are in a situation where a live sound engineer

mixes your vocal sound, you have the option of giving

them control over your wet/dry mix. In this

configuration the live sound engineer will have one

channel on their mixing console with your dry vocal, and

the other channel with the fully wet mono effects.They

can mix between the two to get the desired effect

balance.

Configuring Sound Engineer Setup:

1. Connect your microphone to Create's Mic Input.

2. Connect to your sound system as indicated: Left

and Right Outputs to two mic inputs on your sound

system. Set your sound system’s pan pots to center.

3. Connect Create's power adapter to main power

and to the Power Input on Create.

4. Confirm that stereo mode is off. If the Stereo Light

is on, press and hold Performance Buttons 4 and 5

simultaneously until the Stereo Light turns off.

5. Turn the Mix Knob fully right. In this configuration,

the sound engineer will have access to your dry voice on

the Right Output, and your fully effected voice on the

Left Output.

Setup Configurations

Getting to Know the Basics

VoiceTone Create has a simple yet sophisticated interface for selecting and

performing from an extensive list of tweakable effects patches. Patch selection

and tweaks can be stored in performances. Any changes not stored are lost

when the unit is powered off.

Patches, Performances, & Parts

VoiceTone Create is a

completely live interface. Any

tweak you make in any

performance or part occurs

instantaneously and is

remembered when you move

between parts and

performances. However, when

you remove power from

Create, all once-in-a-lifetime

sounds you have created with

your tweaks and selections

leave with the audience. If you

want to preserve your creative

ideas, you can store your

performances (and their A/B

parts) by individually pressing

and holding their flashing

Performance Buttons.

PERFORMING AND STORING

Patches

VoiceTone contains 99 effect patches. Each patch can

have any combination of settings and effects including

reverbs, delays, μMod, and Transducer. The patches are

organized into categories. Refer to the Patch List section

for descriptions of the categories and each effect Patch.

Selecting Patches:

1. Turn effects on by tapping the Right Footswitch so

that the Effect On Light turns red.

2. Select a patch by turning the Patch Knob to the

desired patch number as indicated on the Numeric

Display.

Tweaking Selected Patches:

1. Turn the knobs labeled Tweak X or Tweak Y to

change the patch's sound. When you turn the Tweak

Knobs, the Numeric Display shows the specific X or Y

value. After several seconds, the X or Y value display

times out, and the selected patch number is again

indicated on the Numeric Display.

Performances and Parts

Performances and parts allow you to sequence through

your favorite effect patches while keeping your hands

free to practice mic techniques, or wave to your adoring

audience. There are five performance locations. Each

location has an A and a B part. Each of these locations

can store a specific patch including any tweaks made

with the Tweak Knobs. When a performance is stored,

both the A and B part are stored simultaneously.

Selecting Performances and Parts

1. Press a Performance Button (1 - 5) to select that

performance.

2. Press the Left Footswitch to toggle between part A

and part B of the selected performance. The selected

part is indicated by the Part A/B Lights.

Patches, Performances, & Parts

The Patch List section details assigned tweak

parameters.

NOTE:

Storing Performances and Parts

1. Press and hold a Performance Button to store the

currently selected patch and tweaks to that

performance location. The Part A/B Lights will flash to

indicate a successful store.

Patches, Performances, & Parts

When a Performance Button is flashing it’s letting

you know that the performance has been changed.

The flashing also reminds you that the performance

has not been stored. To store, read the section on

Storing Performances and Parts below.

NOTE:

Getting Comfortable Performing

Performance options with VoiceTone Create are extensive for a floor based

effect. Getting comfortable with the Left Footswitch and various options will

give you complete creative control over your effects. To gain experience

performing with Create, we've provided walkthroughs on the three stages of

performing; Single Effect, A/B Effect, and Sequenced performances.

Single Effect Performances

This is the simplest method for using the pedal, and is the best place to start.

Any performer who wants the same effect all night will find this application

is as deep as they’ll need to go.

1. Select performance 1, part A, by pushing Performance Button 1, and

pushing the Left Footswitch to toggle part A.

2. Turn the effect on with the Right Footswitch.

3. Find a sound you like by turning the Patch Knob. (Tweak if desired).

5. Press and hold Performance Button 1 to store the patch.

Performance Applications

If you have selected a patch

that contains a longer delay

sound, you may have the

option of using the tap tempo

feature. Tap tempo allows you

to synchronize the delay effect

with the tempo of your music

by tapping with your foot. You

can enter and exit tap mode by

push and holding the Right

Footswitch for 2 seconds. For

more information on tap

tempo, see the Effect

Description | Using Tap Tempo

section. Additionally, note that

with long delays or reverb tails,

turning the effect off will allow

the "tail" to continue while you

continue to sing with no effect.

TAP TEMPO

A/B Effect Performances

Now that you've mastered using a single performance, and you've heard a

lot of different effects, it's time to make use of the Left Footswitch.

Using A/B is a great creative step for any performer. Even if you only need

one effect for all your songs, you still may want your audience to hear sonic

contrast between your verse, chorus, or bridge. Or perhaps in a night of

always thickening your voice with MicroShift (patch 31), you have one song

that you want a Slow Old Radio Verb (patch 90) to emulate a vintage

recording.Whatever the reason, getting comfortable with A/B performances

will give you more control.

1. Select performance 1, part A, by pushing Performance Button 1, and

pushing Left Footswitch to toggle to part A.

2. Enable the effect with the Right Footswitch.

3. Select patch 31 by turning the Patch Knob.

4. Press the Left Footswitch to switch to part B.

Performance Applications

A great way to build energy

during a song is to change an

effect from the verse to the

chorus, or bridge to chorus.

These changes can be

completely different sounds

such as going from Silk Dream

(patch 1) to distorted vocals

on Megaphone (patch 42). But

sometimes you want to add a

subtle change to the current

patch, and certain patches are

better for this than others.

These patches are called

Verse-Chorus patches and are

labeled in the Patch List

section. Select one of these

presets for both parts of a

performance then experiment

by changing the tweak settings

from part A to part B so that

the sound changes in an

interesting way.

CHANGES DURING A SONG

5. Select patch 90 by turning the Patch Knob.

6. Press the Left Footswitch to change between your

tweaked versions of patch 31 and patch 90.

7. If you like both your part A and part B settings, press

and hold Performance Button 1 to store the

performance.

Sequenced Performances

Now you're ready to be the master of your vocal

performance domain. Learning how to sequence

through performances using the press and hold feature

of the Left Footswitch allows you to easily step through

all five performances.

1. Select a part and choose a patch for each

Performance Button.

2. Enable the effect with the Right footswitch.

3. Press and hold the Left Footswitch until both the

Part A and Part B Lights are on.

4. Press the Left Footswitch to cycle through the five

performances as indicated by the Performance Button

Lights (1 - 5).

5. If you want to return to A/B mode, press and hold

the Left Footswitch until one of the A/B lights are lit.

6. Remember, any changes you make to the 5

performances must be stored individually. First select

the performance you'd like to store with a single press,

then press and hold it for 2 seconds to store.

Performance Applications

If you had part A selected when you enabled

sequencing through performances, you'll hear part A

of each performance. If you had part B selected

when you enabled sequencing through

performances, you'll hear part B.

NOTE:

Reverb

The reverb effect is the most common vocal effect.

Reverb can imitate the natural sound of spaces like

churches, clubs and halls. However, not all reverb sounds

imitate a real space. Many reverb effects are recreations

of electro-mechanical effects like Plates and Springs.

All reverbs are made up of early reflections (rooms), and

the longer reverberant sounds (tails). Common controls

are the level of the room (Room Level), and the level

and decay of the tail (Tail Level, Reverb Decay).

Additionally, a small delay can be added between the dry

voice and the reverb signal (Predelay).

By far the most important control for reverb is the level.

One reverb patch can have a very different result for the

audience whether it is mixed subtly, or up front in the

mix.

A good way of breaking down the various reverb effects

is as follows:

Spaces:

- Halls

- Rooms

Devices:

- Plates

- Springs

Selecting Reverb Patches

1. Turn effects on by pressing the Right Footswitch.

2. Browse through patches 11 through 20 by turning

the Patch Knob.

3. Use the Tweak Knobs to alter the reverb effect.The

most common assignments for the Tweak Knobs are

combinations of level, decay, style, and predelay.

Effect & Genre Descriptions

Delay

The delay effect is essentially a configurable echo. You

can control how far apart the echoes occur (Delay

Time), and whether the echoes fade out quickly, or build

on themselves like you were trapped in house of

mirrors (Feedback). In addition, there are filtering and

stereo controls that allow for many popular delay

sounds. Delays can be categorized into two categories

of which Create is fully capable of producing.

Short Delays:

- Slaps

Long Delays (max stereo delay is 1800ms)

- Mono taps

- Stereo taps

- Syncopated taps

- Ping-pongs (in stereo, sound goes left to right)

Selecting a Delay patch

1. Enable the effect by pressing the Right Footswitch.

2. Browse through patches 21 through 30 by turning

the Patch Knob.

3. Use the Tweak Knobs to alter the delay effect. The

most common assignments for the Tweak Knobs are

feedback, delay time, and high-cut.

Using Tap Tempo

Long delay effects don't tend to sound good unless

they're synchronized with the tempo of your song.

When you hear a long delay sound, you can generally

use the tap tempo feature to synchronize the delay to

your tempo. The tempo is saved with a performance

part during the store procedure.

1. Enable the effect by pressing the Right Footswitch.

Effect & Genre Descriptions

Many presets have tap tempo. Listen for a long delay

sound, or refer to the Patch List section where tap

tempo patches are indicated.

NOTE:

2. Select patch 21 - Mono Tap by turning the Patch

Knob until 21 is indicated on the Numeric Display.

3. Press & hold the Right Footswitch for two seconds.

The Effect On Light will flash the patch's stored tempo.

4. Tap the Right Footswitch in time with your song

(usually only a few beats are necessary) until you are

satisfied you've matched the tempo. The Effect On light

will continue to flash at the tempo you've entered. Press

and hold the Right Footswitch to exit tap mode.

μMod

μMod is short for micro-modulation ("μ" is the scientific

symbol for micro). The μMod effect is capable of

creating many different sounds that range from subtle

and unobtrusive to creatively destructive.The effect uses

a combination of stereo pitch shifting (Detune), small

amounts of stereo delay (Delay), and then a complex

path of filtering, feedback, and modulation. μMod does a

faithful job of emulating classic detune and thickening

sounds which have been common since the 60's.

However, often these effects don't get noticed by the

audience until they are turned off. What do get noticed

right away are the more extreme uses of μMod that

produce sounds that modulate over time.

μMod effects:

- Micropitch

- Detune

- Thicken

- Chorus

- Flanger

Effect & Genre Descriptions

If the Effect On Light is not flashing, or momentarily

flashes rapidly then stops, tap tempo is not available

for the patch you selected. Select another patch

from the Patch List that has tap tempo enabled.

NOTE:

Tap tampo is stored with each part when a

performance is stored.

NOTE:

Selecting μMod Patches

1. Turn effects on by pressing the Right Footswitch.

2. Select a μMod patch by turning the Patch Knob.

(μMod effects are located from patch 31 to 40).

3. Use the Tweak Knobs to alter the μMod effect.The

most common assignments for the Tweak Knobs are

level, feedback, depth speed.

Transducer

This is the block that helps create so many of the ear-

candy effects in popular music, as well as replicating the

vintage audio quality of older audio effects and

recordings. Within transducer there is a configurable

distortion block with internal filtering and curves, as well

as a bandwidth block, which emulates the frequency

response of various audio devices like phones and

radios.

Selecting Transducer Patches

1. Turn effects on by pressing the Right Footswitch.

2. Select a Transducer patch by turning the Patch Knob.

(Transducer effects are located from patch 41 to 50).

3. Use the Tweak Knobs to alter the Transducer effect.

The most common assignments for the Tweak Knobs

are bandwidth, pre/post gain, distortion amount, and lo

cut.

Effect & Genre Descriptions

μMod often sounds good in combination with

reverb. Therefore, many μMod patches have reverb

level assigned to a Tweak Knob so you can add that

effect.

NOTE:

Using Distortion (continued from Transducer):

Many transducer patches include distortion, which can

be a great way of adding a brief altered character to

your voice. Distortion quality is very dependent on the

quality and level of your input voice. It's important that

you've set your input level properly (refer to step 7 of

the Quick-Start Guide). If there is not enough level, the

distortion will not be triggered enough to be audible.

The sound of distortion can be very different on low

frequencies versus high frequencies. Lastly, distortion can

increase the risk of feedback.Test, and reduce your levels

before performance if necessary to ensure you are

below the threshold for feedback.

Genre Descriptions

A lot of users tell us, "I don't understand how [so and

so] creates that [such and such] effect on that [best

selling] album. We've been researching common

industry practices for years, so our in-house experts had

no problem authoring patches for each of the major

music genres.

VoiceTone Create's Genre banks are unique and offer

instant inspiration. The categories are very broad. By

browsing all the patches in a genre you'll most likely be

able to find something that matches your sound. Even

better, when rehearsing, trying out different patches will

inspire song ideas.The genres are:

Pop/R&B

Rock/Metal

Country

Jazz/Ballad

FAQ & Troubleshooting:

1. I'm not getting any sound out of Create

a. Confirm the power adapter is properly connected

by checking that a patch number is lit on the Numeric

Display.

b. Confirm your microphone is connected properly by

talking through microphone and looking for the Input

Light to light green or orange. If the Input Light is going

on, check your connections and settings on your sound

system. If the Input Light is not on, press the Right

Footswitch and turn the effect off, then try varying the

Input Knob and see if you can start to hear the

dry/unaffected signal through your sound system.

Additionally, if you have a condenser microphone,

ensure phantom power is enabled.

2. I'm not hearing any effect from Create, just

my dry voice

a. If you're running in stereo output mode, ensure the

Effect On Light is on. If it's off, press the Effect On button

once to engage it. Additionally, ensure the Mix Knob is

not in the off position (fully left).

b. If you're running in mono output mode, confirm

which outputs are connected to your sound system.

Only the Left Output will produce effects. If it's not

producing any effect sound, ensure the Effect On Light is

on. If it's off, press the Effect On button once to engage

it. Additionally, ensure the Mix Knob is not in the off

position (fully left). If you are using the Right Output in

regular output mode, realize it's a dry output that

cannot produce effects - use the Left Output.

3. I don't hear any difference when I turn a

Tweak X or Tweak Y Knob.

a. Ensure the Effect On Light is on. If it's off, press the

Effect On button once to engage it. Additionally, ensure

the Mix Knob is not in the off position (fully left).

b. Check the Patch List section and confirm what

controls are assigned to X and Y to get a sense of what

FAQ & Troubleshooting

to listen for. Some controls are subtle like Reverb

PreDelay, Hi and Lo Colour, and Reverb Decay.

c. Try both Tweak Knobs. Sometimes, especially when

two levels are assigned, you won't hear the result of one

Tweak Knob if the other Tweak Knob is set to "0".

d. Tweak Knobs have “soft pickup”. Try turning the

knob fully leff to right, then setting the desired value.

4. Tap Tempo is not functioning properly

a. Confirm that you’ve selected a patch that has Tap

Tempo enabled by checking the Patch List, then press

and hold the Right Footswitch. If the Effect On Light

flashes rapidly once, then select another patch with Tap

Tempo enabled.

b. If the tempo is indicated by the Effect On Light

flashing in time to the music, confirm the effect is turned

on. Press and hold the Right footswitch to get out of Tap

Tempo mode. Check to make sure the Effect On Light

is on . If it’s not, push the Right Footswitch to enable it.

c. If you’ve confirmed it is a Tap Tempo patch, and the

effect is on, change Tweak X and Y controls that are

associated with Delay (Level, Feedback, Division).

5. My sound is distorted.

a. If your sound is only distorted when you have the

effect on, Check if the current patch is a Transducer

patch that has distortion enabled. Try changing Tweak X

and Y controls assigned to distortion (Distortion Type,

Distortion Level, Transducer Level, Transducer Type,

Transducer Pre/Post Gain). If distortion persists, try

turning the Input Knob to the left.

b. If your sound is distorted when the effect is off,try

turning the Input Knob to the left until the Input Light is

green and sometimes orange. If the Input Light is still

flashing red, sing further away from the microphone, or

send the mic signal through an aux send on an external

mixer.

FAQ & Troubleshooting

Super Edit Mode & Reset

Super Edit Mode

You might wonder how the developers and product

managers at TC-Helicon authored patches for

VoiceTone Create. Similar to methods used on other

products, a special mode was created for setting

advanced parameters. In and around the office, this

mode in VoiceTone Create was called Super Edit Mode.

Super Edit Mode allows access to dozens of parameters

per effect.These parameters are used to design any of

the 99 patches in Create. While using this mode during

final design we recognized it’s a powerful feature for an

advanced or curious user.

Visit the VoiceTone Create website and browse for the

Super Edit Mode link where a manual on this mode is

Restoring to Factory State

If at any time you want to get VoiceTone Create back to

its original presets and settings, follow this procedure.

1. Disconnect the power adapter from Create

2. Press and Hold Performance Buttons 1 & 2 while

plugging the power adapter into Create.

3. Create will clear all the performance information and

return it to factory settings. Once this is done (it only

takes a couple seconds), Create is ready to go.

3. Set the Input Knob fully left, and the Mix Knob to 12

o'clock.

4. Connect Create's power adapter to main power and to

the Power Input on Create.

5. While singing through your microphone, turn the Input

Knob to the right until the Input Light turns green, sometimes

orange on louder parts, but never red.

6. Turn up your sound system level. You're ready to add

effects to your voice.

Information for Your Sound Engineer

Don’t Worry

It can be a scary night when a singer brings an effects pedal to

a gig and you are expected to get good sound. Don’t worry,

VoiceTone Create has a quality mic pre with 109 dB SNR, and

the patches are authored specifically for voice.

Phantom Power

Create can supply phantom power to a condenser mic - press

and hold Buttons 1 & 2 until the 48V light turns on. Sending

external power to Create will not cause damage, but there will

be a pop when power is removed.

Output Level

The outputs on Create are +1dBu, just like a hot condenser

microphone.You won’t need a DI box.

Output Configurations

If you want to mix wet and dry yourself, take Create out of

stereo mode (hold Buttons 4 and 5 until the Stereo light turns

off) and turn the Mix Knob fully right. In this configuration, the

Left Output is fully wet and the Right Output is fully dry.
