External Control Overview
VoiceLive Rack can be controlled by three exter-
nal sources:
• TC-Helicon MP-75 mic
• TC-Helicon Switch3 footswitch
• MIDI received at the MIDI IN jack or via USB
These abilities provide remote control conve-
nience for the singer or the live sound tech.
The MP-75 Mic Switch
At TC-Helicon, we strive to put more power in
the hands of singers and this innovative micro-
phone is the evolution of that quest.
The elastomer switch on the MP-75 mic can be
used by the singer to trigger effects on cue, acti-
vate looping and more. For a complete list of mic
switch targets and for more information on the
Mic-Control feature see:
• The Edit Menu: Mic-control tab to set a unique
assignment per preset.
• The Setup Menu: Mic-control to set a single
global assignment.
Generally, global Mic-Control assignment is best
because it is easiest to remember.
To use Mic-control with an MP-75 mic:
1. Connect an XLR cable between the MP-75
mic and VoiceLive Rack’s MIC input.
2. Enable phantom power via either:
• Setting the PHANTOM control in the I/O tab
of the Setup menu to ON or;
• Setting the CONTROL parameter in the MIC-
CONTROL tab of the Setup menu to ON.
3. Press Home
Now you can browse through the presets while
singing and pressing the button on the mic. The
display will show the factory setting of the MIC-
CONTROL target in each preset.
The Switch3 Footswitch
Switch3 is an optional 3 button footswitch that
can be used onstage by a performer or by a live
sound tech at the mixing console. The control
options include preset up and down, engaging
individual effects blocks and Bypass among others.
For a complete list of Switch3 targets and for
more information on Switch3 see:
• The Edit Menu: SWITCH3 tab to set unique
assignments per preset.
• The Setup Menu: SWITCH3 Tab to set global
assignments.
To control VoiceLive Rack from a Switch3
footswitch:
1. Connect the TRS cable that came with your
Switch3 between the footswitch and VoiceLive
Rack’s PEDAL input.
2. Press either of the footswitches and see it
change presets and activate Bypass. These are
the default assignments. If this is the desired
operation there is no further setup required.
To change global control assignments for the
Switch3:
1. Locate the SWITCH3 tab in the Setup menu
to browse and adjust the footswitch functions.
2. Press Home to exit. The settings are automati-
cally stored.
3. Press the footswitches to confirm their correct
operation.
