Roland VT-4 Vocal Transformer, Black

Fun to use, mostly easy to learn the controls. For the price you get a good quality, and light weight tool. It supports my Condenser microphone and there's no need for phantom power (has a phantom power switch already). This product has power options for either battery or cord powered. (Includes batteries but not a power cord, you will have to order a cord separately). The product portable. Plenty of effects and options to choose from. Has good auto-tune. 5 stars.

The VT4 is definitely a great tool for any vocal performance, and does a great job with special effects as well. There were several features I didn't expect but are great to have. - Pitch correction includes minor chords, and it works well in coordination with the vocoding. Being able to set the strength of the pitch correction is definitely a plus, especially when you are playing with glides or other vocal techniques. - Vocoding works well on it's own, and through USB you can set your own carrier sound. - There's a noise canceling function for killing feedback loops - There are four variations for things like echo, vocoder, harmony and megaphone - You can run mono out with a dry version of the sound on the other stereo out - You can use this as an audio capture and playback over USB - Harmonizer uses pitch and formant, to give a different feel to your backing vocals. Overall it feels solid, sounds great and has a lot more depth than first glance. The smaller size and lack of a giant blinky green border make this feel more like a real vocal tool. The only thing I wish it had was another audio in for carrier sounds on the vocoder, or for mixing in a stereo mix for things like Karaoke. You CAN get that when using a computer, but I don't always want to use a computer.

It's a fun little piece, but it isn't a game changer. Voice transformers are cool (And the VT-3 is a really good one), but it's a gimmicky piece of gear that you won't ever really "need". It can be used as an audio interface with its functionality, which is a great feature. My biggest gripe with this thing is that the gain just sounds really dirty, regardless of if you're using the effects or not. I get that this is ultimately a stage piece, but I can't get around the fact that even the myriad of effects always sound so garbled. Way different from the demonstrations out there from the folks who built the thing. It may just be a defective unit, but I can't jive with the Roland VT-3.

Are there better products? Possibly. I'm sure there are, but they may be twice the price or more. Or, fewer features but better at that more select few. For the price, this thing is a great value. You can alter your voice in many fun, creepy and entertaining ways. I host a live show on the internet and always have people asking about what I use to play with my voice. It cracks most viewers up. It also interfaces with other devices quite well, and you can even run music through the effects. At this point, I deem it to be essential to my show.

Excelente producto.

I wanted the auto tune effect for my rap vocals. It doesn’t come with a power supply which is crazy considering the price point it’s at. It also doesn’t give studio quality sound no good for recording. And I brought it primarily for recording. So it’s no good for that . It’s very simple to use yes . This is a poorly engineered product . Roland for decades has made quality audio equipment don’t know what happened here . I returned it and brought a tc helicon voice live touch unit 2 instead. Brought it used it’s not manufactured anymore but sounds awesome gives you nice auto tune effects .

Easy to setup, had an issue getting gain to work as there is no clue what is your gain at first.... Was surprised there is no XLR out. Was easy to create a clear vocal sound, took about 30 minutes of futzing around with alot of minutes playing with the effects contrary to what I wanted. Definitatly helped solve a gain issue I was having using a focusrite 2i2 audio interface.... I think i'll add a desser etc rack in between the cloud lifter and sm58.... then i'll have no noise into the computer to start which should help with feeding to streaming computer with no noise to start... Durability wise, a piece of crud. The headphones jack is 3.5 so you most likely will be going 1/4" to 3.5 and any movement will disconnect the connection... The box itself seems so cheap for what it is... No clue on quality, but seeing how pathetic the headphone jack is... i doubt the rest is any quality. I would like to keep it, but I don't think this will last with regular use.. I can get away without using the headphone jack, but this is the main input that must be used for initial setup, and any change in the future will require it to function, i dont think it will be working in a years time. I not a returning things guy and i really know i don't need a $500 goxlr, so i might keep this, but i think it is a bad investment, this is nothing short of just a toy. What I am really afraid of is, this becoming my known voice and then losing it... but live life fast and furious i guess...

At first I didn't like the simple controls and the lack of ability to control the parameters of each effect. But after using it live I love the simplicity and the creative effects you can get because of the limitations. Try plugging a mini synth like the korg volca fm into the 1/8" input. The glitches the VT-3 produces when you do this are really nice, and it works as a two channel mixer this way. I'm using it as a direct box for my viola in a new project I'm working on and it's just great. If the VT-3 doesn't at least make you smile I'm sorry for you.

The quality of this thing is outstanding. Despite the simple layout, there are so many different effects and combinations to play with. I've had a lot of fun playing around with different effects, plus I use it as my primary interface for my PC and my microphone sounds great.

Roland VT-4 kleines aber feines Gerät! Haben wir in meinem kleinen Studio getestet, und der wow Effekt hat sich eingestellt !!! Dieses recht kleine Gerät ist überzeugend gut. Haben wir nicht erwartet ! Macht richtig Spaß damit zu Arbeiten. Erwartet hat das von uns niemand. Das Gerät ist super !!! Der Preis für dieses doch sehr kleine Teil ist völlig ok. Aber makellos ist es auch nicht. Es ist kein Netzteil dabei, und mit Batterien zu arbeiten neee das ist unserer Meinung nicht optimal. Aber über den PC. ( den wir nicht ständig dabei haben) geht's ja auch ohne Batterien. Dennoch von uns ***** Sterne

El producto llegó bien todo en orden pero: Trabaja con pilas AA Los efectos son muy comunes y en algunos casos sin sentido como el de robot. No tiene salida XLR solamente a plug ya sabemos que no saldrás con la mayor calidad Lo compré por el pitch corrector para sonar con voz de reggaetón pero se nota muy poco el efecto en vivo. Por eso la verdad me hubiera ido por cualquier modulador de efectos para la voz que son más sencillos y prácticos de usar.

Fa una cosa ma la fa bene, facile da usare e buon risultato

Parfait pour mon utilisation d'effet spéciaux
