If you’re a solo electronic artist, DJ, or singer in a band, the VT-4 lets you design and shape your own unique vocal sounds. Anything from subtle adjustments to chaotic transformation is possible. Built with a hands-on approach, with no menu diving or programming taking up time. Mind blowing effects such as harmonizing, vocoding, pitch shifting, hard tuning, and more are all now within reach.

Insanely Creative
Performance-OrientedModern musical styles use more and more unusual vocal sounds with heavy processing, making them stand out and keep the listener interested. With the VT-4, you have a wide variety of modern and retro vocal effects at reach. You no longer need to use to a complicated setup with a computer and plug-ins.
With high end effects including everything from delay and reverb to chaotic formant and vocoding effects. The VT-4’s performance-oriented interface allows you to ride the controls while you sing so you can consistently shape the sound to suit the track and take your performance to the next level.
Be Who You Want to Be
Seamless ControlGreat-sounding pitch and formant effects aren’t very easy to find, especially without a computer. Real-time editing of these effects often means you get nasty complications and other unpleasantness.
With the VT-4 you have completely seamless, instant control over both pitch and format, with dedicated faders for each. Massively change your entire persona from male to female, big to small, or good to evil, it’s up to you.
Transformative Effects
Easy NavigationWith the VT-4 you can easily achieve complex vocal effects, you can even use several effects at the same time. Use the central Auto-Pitch knob to dial in just the right amount of hard-tuned effect, then press the Megaphone button for some lo-fi fun. You can run the vocoder through a tape delay or vintage chorus.
Each effect comes with a selection of one-touch variations, so you can get different vocoder characteristics, various lo-fi effects, multi-part harmonies, and distinct kinds of reverb and delay. Chain your effects, set the as you wish, then just hold down a preset button to save that setup for later recall. Changing presets and editing controls is smooth and instant, with no jarring artefacts, glitches, or dropouts.
MIDI Control
Huge Vocals & Funky LeadsThe VT-4 works really well on its own and can harmonize and vocode using just your voice and no external equipment. Although plugging a MIDI keyboard into the VT-4 gives you even more expressive possibilities, where you control the Auto-Pitch, harmony, and vocoder engines in real time with the notes you play.
You can hard-tune your voice to specific notes as you sing, or create instant multi-part harmonies with voicings that follow your chords. The VT-4’s compact size sits nicely on most keyboards and is easy to work into your setup, providing mass amounts of huge backing vocals and funky vocoded leads.
Fun & Games
Enhanced EntertainmentIf it’s a weekly podcast or nightly multiplayer battle, if you’re broadcasting your voice on the internet, you’re limited on how to stand out.
The combination of the VT-4’s small size, easy controls, and USB-audio capabilities make it perfectly suited to altering your voice for YouTube broadcasts, game streaming, podcasting, and more.
Take on the persona of different characters in diverse locations, or sound larger than life in battle. Add humor, danger, wit, and variety to your streaming broadcasts, your imagination is the only limit.
