Thanks for these videos - it’s difficult to find much online about this nice little Boss unit. One question as I’m about to buy one; are you able to make the vocoder and harmonies play only one assigned pitch? Sometimes called ‘robot’. I will need to do songs where a vocoder robot voice drones on the root note. I can’t see any drone note and drone note settings in the manual. Thanks!
Thanks for you big efforts to make these videos. What’s the difference between the manual screen and memory screen. I edit in memory and save to manual but the memory also changes from factory settings. Is this correct. Thom.
Hi Tim, thank you! Hope you’re well. It’s been a while since setting this up but the instrument selection (if my memory serves) wasn’t for gain but for the pitch/vocoder selection: you can specify if harmonies & vocoder get their signal from mic or instrument. Can you tell me what time in the vid I do what you’re talking about pls? So I can check this for you.
@@timkolekmusic oh mate, I just checked my unit & to be honest I think I left that as it came (I don’t remember changing it) but it’s odd & you’re right that doesn’t make sense. I’m gonna be having a session later today & will check this through & let you know what I find. I think that should be set to mic but I’m gonna double check. Thanks for flagging this 🙏🏼
@Tim Kolek Music I just remembered why AND ITS REALLY IMPORTANT!!! (I’m too old for this 😂🤚🏼) Ok, the VE500 is a MC preamp so when you plug into a mixer it’s better to go in on line level & avoid the mic preamp has n the mixer or interface. Why? Coz you don’t need the mixer mic preamp as VE is your preamp 😉👍🏼 A lot of ppl get bad sound but often when I chatted to them they hadn’t taken this into account
stephen callaghan cheers man, doin good thanks, yourself? I was planning on doing that vid this weekend but got a bloody virus so as soon as I can use my voice (next week hopefully🤞🏽) How’re you finding the unit?
@@planzed463 yeh bro ,enjoying it , no done much this week because of work ,but going to get in to it next week hopefully ,, you have a nice set up and making good sounds , hope your good
Is there a way to move patches in the order that you want them? Maybe copy the patch to a user setting? I only use about 4 of the preset patches and I would like them in order that I use them. Ie…. Harmony upper & lower, then vocoder, then delay etc?
Oh bro I’m sorry my whole thing is no computer- unfortunately that means certain vid are super hard to get right - I was homeless not so long ago & I’m still putting life together as it happens (which is slow!🙃)... over the next few months I hope to be able to deliver the kinda video you’re after.. the ve500 is so tricky to shoot screen whereas the Gt1000 super easy to do settings view.. Sorry man but thanks fir your feedback
@@planzed463 right on. I can relate...was homeless last year as well after a nasty divorce, and I'm still rebuilding as well! I look forward to more in this series😉
hi, what about the midi settings? have you succeded to sync the ve-500 through midi (or usb) to external clock? how? :)) (so the delays and the loop function will work in tempo with other gear)
Oanamaria84 yea man, it’s all clock synced.. it’s easy.. just setting to receive channel & your good to go 😊👍🏽 .. it is sitting at the end of my midi chain btw
Nan Rivera 80hz.. sorry wasn’t clearer.. but you should check the video (will link it in next comment) coz I made some important adjustments. If you complete these settings it will be easier to follow the next one 😉👍🏽 Hope you’re well
Thanks man, I have you tried filming it with a phone but ain’t happening, I tried, you can’t see sht. So the only way I could think of answering questions I was getting in the FB was to do it this way, my GT1000 videos are as you request but it’s a different story with that unit, it can be done easily but VE screen is teeny! Btw, I don’t have a computer & can only do this with my phone. Hope you’re well btw & that you were able to pull something useful from the vid (sorry it’s not ideal but thanks for feeding back 😬👍🏼)

Hey Paul. Nice work! Curious why you set the gain for Instrument vs. Mic? I like the boost that it gives but wondering the reason behind it?

@@planzed463 Hi Paul. It’s when you’re talking about the output section. Around 10:20

Are you using the software? It would be awesome if you could use the editor and show it on screen via a split screen or a box in the corner...

Mate my heart goes out to you... how’re things for you now? We can link via FB if you like, are you in the ve500 group on FB? Could link there via dm

At minute 5:10, what do you mean with 80? Percent or Hertz?

Does this have electric pitch ?
By that do you mean pitch correction? If so yes 😊👍🏽
@@planzed463 literally just ordered one today ayeeeeeeeeeeeeeee so excited
Show the display man
The camera needs to be on the unit so we can see the screen and your fingers. No one wants to whip out a pencil and paper for this.

Btw, the idea wasn’t for you to use pencil & paper, you were meant to screenshot it with your phone - much easier 😉
Please, sing a little....anything.
What you you like to hear me sing? ...my songs will be be coming soon, I’m currently working on the live production (of the music)
