Review: Excellent sound, long learning curve and complex UI - Just got the unit and tested it. The sounds are amazing. but you need to RTFM. The Manual is not very detailed, and it will take some time to learn it all. The best way to program the unit ( before actuall performance) is by using the computer app. make sure you assign the VE-500 both to in/out channels. Make sure you use high speed USB cable, as not every charging cable is a data cable. It defenetly worth its price, but it is far from user friendly. obviously BOSS sound engineers are doing great job, while the SW devision has way to go ...... As a performer with keyboards, I mostly use the midi channels for harmony. keep in mind you need to adjust the input to the right midi channel , especially if you use an "arranger" keyboard to send the lower chords to midi. The presets on the machine- i couldn't find them usefull. you do need to program it by your own for full utilization of the unit.
Review: Fantastic Sound and Easy Setup - I got this as I was looking for a good vocals processing unit that I could use on stage whilst playing guitar and not have to relay on someone else to switch effects. The unit is absolutely solid and has a ton of effects available. Out the box the presets are great but will need tweaking for my use. The computer effects designer was easy to install (install driver then application) and worked flawlessly on macOS Sonoma. Really easy to navigate and sync. I’m yet to use in a live environment but the home studio usage was easy and sounded great. Vocoder can be used with instrument or just voice. Harmoniser has multiple levels applied at once and the customisation is very in depth. Would highly recommend for anyone with the need for multiple vocal effects in the convenience of a foot switched pedal.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Can i output 1 xlr cable, or do i have to output 2 into a mixer?**
A: You can use a single xlr to the mixer.  I use a single feed to the mixer and the second output to my in ear monitor (IEM) amp.

**Q: VE-500 plugged in to audio interface 2i2 and there is no sound. The directions only show a mixer and midi. Does not say Audio interface.**
A: I’d have to see a picture of the connections.

**Q: I am a vocalist but I don't play guitar.  Will this unit be lost on this application?  I'm looking for a high quality vocal processor**
A: I believe you have to have a musical instrument (guitar or keyboard) in order for the processor to determine the harmonies. A backing track may work.

**Q: In the manual on page 18 it says "view the 'parameter guide' and 'midi implementation chart' (pdf)" - where is the 'midi implementation chart' pdf ?**
A: Follow this link if your unit did not come with the Parameter Guide... https://www.boss.info/global/support/by_product/ve-500/owners_manuals/5f989991-295b-4dbc-8b60-3bf0eaa91adc/

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fantastic Sound and Easy Setup

### ⭐⭐⭐ So far so good. Let down by documentation.
*by D***N on 16 February 2026*

This is a good quality vocal processor. However, the accompanying documentation really doesn’t give you enough to explore all the features thoroughly. Boss/Roland should bring out more thorough video manuals or PDFs.
