Balance mic level, team chats, gameplay sounds, and background music for pro mixes that keep viewers engaged.
Morph Your VoiceTransform your voice with onboard processing derived from Roland’s famous VT voice transformers. To take on a new character, adjust the pitch and formant to alter your age or gender—or even sound like an alien.
Broadcast PolishBRIDGE CAST X also includes pro processing tools to enhance your chat stream, including EQ, compression, a low-cut filter to soften pesky plosives, and a de-esser that cleans up harsh “S” tones. Curb background distractions with the noise suppressor and launch your voice into space with the great-sounding reverb.
Virtual Surround SoundImmerse yourself in virtual surround sound with 5.1 or 7.1 HDMI spatial headphones audio backed by advanced Roland technology. Using the BRIDGE CAST app, you can even adjust the angles of the virtual speaker array to create your ideal surround sound experience.
Effortless Workflow
BRIDGE CAST X puts a raft of powerful controls at your fingertips, letting you execute actions without distraction.
Control in HandWith the intuitive BRIDGE CAST X panel, it’s easy to manage streams in real time. Adjust your audio mix with dedicated knobs and buttons. Assign up to 30 OBS commands, sound effects, and music shortcuts to the six control pads to launch them midstream. And use the bottom row of buttons to navigate pages and access additional shortcuts.
Game Time AdvantageSnag a competitive edge by creating up to five custom Game EQ presets. For example, you can boost the volume to highlight game-critical audio cues, like enemy footsteps in a first-person shooter. Once you’ve dialed in your settings, save them to onboard profiles and instantly summon them with the push of a button.
