More Play – Free upgrade for VoiceLive Play and Play GTX

We’re proud to announce the “More Play – Direct Effects Control & Preset Mega-Pack”, a free firmware update to VoiceLive Play and Play GTX offering more presets, more looping time and more control.

You spoke and we listened. Since we released VoiceLive Play in January it has become one of our most popular units, and you’ve had tons of feedback for us on how to improve the functionality of it and its big brother, VoiceLive Play GTX. The requests have been many but most have revolved around adding more control, more looping time, and more presets to the machine. So, we have done just that.

More presets
A whopping 500 new presets awaits in our biggest preset pack ever. Covering all styles and genres, it should be enough to keep any singer happy for a long, long time. Discover your sound via the songs you like, or go on a random walk of presets for inspiration.

More looping
Everyone likes to loop, so we’ve expanded the original 15 seconds of looping to a full 60 seconds, still with infinite overdubs, of course. Extra looping time requires Mono output mode and “undo” off.

More control
Add a Switch-3 pedal to your VoiceLive Play or Play GTX and you’ve got an entirely different beast at your feet. Direct access to looping, tap tempo, guitar boost (only on Play GTX), on/off control of all effects with momentary options for harmony and delay, custom programming of the footswitches, and more, means no compromise and no holds barred when performing live. With this update adding the Switch-3 makes all the difference.

How to get the update
Just connect your Play unit to your computer via the supplied USB cable and fire up the VoiceSupport app to 1) update the firmware and 2) start draggin’ and droppin’ the presets to your Play or Play GTX unit. Switch-3 is sold separately.

Since the preset pack is so large, we suggest selecting presets individually and moving them to your device.

The episode of Craig’s Corner below suggests some ways to manage the large preset pack within VoiceSupport.

 

With such a large group of presets we thought you could use a list to find what you’re looking for. There are 3 columns showing: Original Artist, Original Title, Preset Name.

  1. Is there a way to fade out the volume of a loop while singing and keeping the volume of the live voice?

    • Hi Daniel,

      Unfortunately there isn’t a control for loop volume in the Play.

  2. Is there a way to assign the harmony moment to one button and the other button on the switch three turning harmony on and off?
    Example:
    Switch 1-guitar boost
    Switch 2-Harmony (moment)
    Switch 3-Harmony

  3. Hello everybody,

    Thanks for the update of the VoiceLive Play, it’s great !
    It would now miss just a feature in this wonderful box : the possibility to have a dual mono mode coming througt the two XLR outputs. Like that, we could be able to have two signals for the same voice, one going to the PA’s as a normal mono output (with all the effects and other treatments of the VoiceLive) and another one going throught others effects pedals (such as vocoders or looping boxes) then to the PA’s to be mixed by the sound engineer in another track of his console. Like that, he would be able to mix the two signals (the voice plus the vocoder or the beatbox or whatever…) as he wants : compression, volume, reverb,…

    Could you please, please, please work on this small evolution ?

    Anyway… thanks for all and Bravo !
    Matèu.

    • Hi Mateu,

      In its current mode, Mono will send the effected vocals (including dry) to one XLR out and a Dry (with tone and pitch correction) signal to the other. I think that would cover your needs right? You’d send the effects/lead to the console and the dry out to the other effects/processors?
