Find your voice
The VT-4 is an effects processor for the instrument we all have within us - the human voice. Like the human voice, the VT-4 is easy to use yet extremely effective. Whether you're a solo electronic artist, DJ, or singer in a band, the VT-4 lets you create and shape your own unique vocal sounds, ranging from subtle to radical transformation. Everything is at your fingertips without the hassle of searching through menus or programming. Surprising effects such as harmonizing, vocoding, pitch shifting, hard tuning and much more are just pushing, sliding or inverting. Thanks to its compact size and five-hour battery life, you can use the VT-4 anywhere.
Crazy Creative
Music styles today are increasingly using remarkable vocal sounds with heavy processing, making them stand out and grab the listener's attention. With the VT-4, you have a ton of modern and retro vocal effects at your fingertips, without having to resort to complicated setup with a computer and plugs. All the effects are top notch, from delays and reverbs to vocoder effects. Moreover, the VT-4's performance-oriented interface allows you to move the controls as you sing to constantly change the sound to match your track and add to the awesomeness of your performance.
Be who you want to be
Great-sounding sounds and controls are hard to come by, especially without a computer. Adjusting these effects in real time often leads to various unpleasantness. With the VT-4 you have total fluidity, instant control of both height and format, with dedicated sliders for everyone. Dramatically change your entire overtone from male to female, from high to low or good to bad - the choice is yours.
Transformational Effects
Achieving complex vocal effects is easy with the VT-4, and you can also use multiple effects at the same time. Use the central Auto-Pitch knob to select the appropriate dose of strong effect, then press the Megaphone button. Or run the vocoder via tape delay or vintage chorus. Each effect has a range of tactile variations, so you can get different vocoder characteristics, different lo-fi effects, multi-element harmonies, and different types of reverb and delay. Combine effects, set the controls the way you like, then simply hold down a preset button to save that setup for later. Changing presets and settings is smooth and instant with no jolts, pops or interruptions.
MIDI control
The VT-4 works great, it can harmonize and activate without any connection other than your voice. But connecting a MIDI keyboard to the VT-4 opens up even more expressive possibilities, letting you control the Auto-Pitch, Harmony and vocoder engines in real time with the sounds you play. As you sing, you can tune your voice to specific notes or create instant multi-part harmonies with sounds that match your chords. The small VT-4 sits nicely on most keyboards and is easily integrated into your setup.
Fun and Games
Whether it's a weekly podcast or a multiplayer overnight, if you're broadcasting your voice over the internet, you have opportunities to stand out. The combination of small size, simple controls and USB audio capabilities makes the VT-4 perfect for changing your voice on YouTube broadcasts, game streaming, podcasting and much more. Mimic different characters in many places. Add humor, danger, wit and variety to your broadcast - your imagination is your only limit.
