The Roland - VT-4 is a powerful vocal effect processor for manipulating the human voice. The compact and intuitive VT-4 provides unique vocal sounds and a fast workflow thanks to performance-oriented control. The battery or USB bus-powered Voice Transformer is equipped with a variety of modern and retro vocal effects, including a harmonizer and vocoder, pitch shifting, ambience and other high-quality effects. Users can use and chain multiple effects at the same time, set parameters as desired, save them as individual effect setups and call them up quickly and easily later via preset buttons.
By connecting a MIDI keyboard, it is also possible to create keyboard leads or polyphonic backing vocals by controlling the auto-pitch, vocoder and harmonizer engines via the notes and chords played. Apart from that, the Roland - VT-4 can also be used as a powerful tool to enhance speech with versatile comedic or dramatic effects. With its combination of compact size, mobility, ease of use and USB audio options, the Roland VT-4 is not only the perfect partner for singers, DJs, EDM artists and streamers, but also for YouTuber, Twitch and Facebook streams, podcasters and many more.

SUMMARY
Over the years, Roland’s Vocal Transformer line has ripened into a solid box of tricks. Whether you just need gentle pitch correction or want to turn yourself into a robot barbershop quartet, the VT-4 has you covered.
CONCLUSION
The VT-4 is way more fun than it has right to be. The pitch correction was, in my experience, fast and accurate. The Robot and Vocoder modes are hellishly good fun and the other effect combine to make a well thought-out vocal processor. The ability to use MIDI for pitch or supply your own vocoder carrier via the USB 2 interface actually qualifies the VT-4 as a vocoder, and eight variations of every effect mean you’ll be finding new combinations for a long time.
The Vocal Transformer line of products started out as a simple effect, but has matured into a flexible and impressive vocal toolbox, It could be used for everything from subtle pitch correction, harmonising and vocoding to Hollywood sound design of demons, fairy-folk or spy-thriller vocal disguise. Quite simply, I imagine anyone who records vocals will find a use for it.
