Hey man don't worry about hate or criticism especially about having fun with what you do; I really like your channel, personally, it's usually casual and straight forward and isn't pretentious remains a good reference for lots of people like myself - I feel like I can detect hurt from whatever hate.. and that kinda pisses me off because I enjoy watching you & this channel personally. From one gearhead to another, you're obviously an alright guy with a genuine vibe frfr forget all the negative low-lives and ego-mongers and all their fkn empty funless opinions and have a fkn blast and be silly doing what you love 🙂
I will never own one of these. The temptation is just too much to hook it up to my car stereo and drive around doing Dalek impressions out my windows at every intersection. Just arrest me pre-emptively already.
I've been doing this since the fall, except we play ice cream music and make vague US security commands such as "attention American citizens, please stay within your homes, the dead have become, undead"
If I had to choose this or the GoXLR for voice changing, I prefer the GoXLR because it seems like the only one that can do pitch changing to my liking, for example a chipmunk. The Roland unfortunately does not get anywhere close.
Is it possible to control the pitch correction with a midi keyboard. So that it corrects pitch to the keys you're pressing on the keyboard, like a vocoder?
The only problem is, ya it has some of those hard voice effects, but generally many of these voice boxes is a little like toys unless you want exactly those special effects. Even TC has dropped there pro versions of the Helicons. You have to look at the used market if you just want a decent vocalist that can make some good 3 or 4 part harmonies. Nothing like that is available in new standalone products today which is a shame. You have to go for a Yamaha or Korg Arranger board that has a Helicon or other vocalist build in. I still have my old Digitech Vocalist II at home, but ya lets face it they were cool back in the 80-90's but not on par with what a Helicon can do. The harmony side of these stomp boxes today is not very good and is generally geared towards guitar or soloists as a fun thing to play with.
better off using a JD-Xi or Mininova/Ultranova? noted, not that I use the vocoder on my JD and Ultranova, lol, but if I decide to, I'm equipped for win
I was looking at this unit gear but I already own a TC Helicon Voicelive Extreme so thanks for reminding me that I do not need this as I already have a similar piece of gear. Thanks🙏
So could u use this as an effects pedal iv got the t8 and the j6 getting the S1 not really had the urge to get one of these but I'm actually thinking I gotta get one now if it can change the voice it could obviously add effects to synths I think all get on at some point definitely a handy tool especially if u got a horrible sining voice like me my set up would be beneficial with one
I have a VT-4 which has good sounding pitch correction/harmony. I have to say that I feel like there’s something a bit “off” with the E-4, like there’s a strange warble or ‘reediness’ or something when using the pitch correction and harmony. Almost like it sounds unstable and wispy? Hard to explain. But I think the VT-4 is clearly better sounding
Tbh I feel more inspired using instruments like these than by messing around in a DAW, I guess different people feel comfortable with different ways to make music, who would have thought?
I love your videos! I appreciate the humorous approach! More blind fold keyboard videos including both fantoms, montage and modx, and nords, PLLLLEASE?!
Sad all of you front-line guys doing reviews on this particular box seem to not really care for showing off the voice pitch (low but especially high) for more than one and a half seconds WITHOUT touching the formant fader (or anything else), as if nobody would like to **hear** the actual raw quality of it, how convincing it sounds and how much artifacts it produces compared to vst solutions: one of the main reasons I'd presume to purchase one in the first place? Gotta keep looking then...
One of my goals in life is to have a music store like Andertons. Full of funny guys that all seem to be great to hang out with in person. Love all of the videos across the channels. 🤙🏼
I have a MODX. I sing. Have a TC Helicon Extreme, but I am looking for a more simple device for my voice. The TC Helicon is more for guitar. I would like voice correction, but I am not interested so much in all kind of harmonies, just a simple deep, and more simple solution vith my MODX. If somebody could give me advice, about wich tool would be better in my case. Thanks.
Question for the experts: to record directly to the computer. Do I need to connect to a sound card or directly to the computer and record through Ableton?
I shouldn't of watched this video, now I have to get one of these. So awesome! Thanks for doing a great job of showing all that it can do. 👌👍 Were your headphones and the device routed to a mixer?
Looking forward to getting my VerseLab Mv1 even more, now. Still not positive about it, but seems like a great piece of kit for me at the price. One if the only products which seems to have decent vocal effects, processing, etc… with synth, drum and other awesome sounds all in a small and pretty powerful and straightforward unit. Def seems like the best Groovebox for vocals which also fits well into a larger or live set up. What is everyone using for live (or studio), effects, modulation, etc..?! Besides a computer… I really want to know! 🤔🤘 Edit: I might go with the Push 3 instead/also. Not sure about it’s vocal capabilities yet, but I have to imagine they’re pretty amazing! Possible follow-up to come. 😜
Una brutto video non sei bravo a cantare non sei bravo ad usarlo , le potenzialità dell macchinario non si capiscono visto che sei in grado di utilizzarlo soltanto per fare umorismo non richiesto. Dovresti implementare le tue conoscenze per portare contenuti migliori e più seri
Can Roland e-4 be used for live stage performance? I ever tried it with my full band performance (of course with loud sound environment) but the e-4 created huge noise / distortion unexpectedly. Is it common for e-4? Then it’s only designed for silent studio (?)
Unfortunately this tech seems no better than it was 20 years agp. Sigh… they really need to do an AI powered true vocal changer. Until then its just not very good
Back when I was a struggling musician, buying gear always came down to, “Can I use it on stage?” If “yes”, then I’d buy it. If it made something sound better, it was always a candidate for purchase. With this, it’s more gimmick-y. It seems to be geared towards a DJ. The user interface gives me that impression.
💥❓💥 Question @AndertonsKeyboardDept from a total newbie: What amplification are you using for the demo? Can I plug this into any home hi-fi amplifier, or should I only use one that's dedicated to instruments (eg, guitar or keyboard, etc.)? Thanks
The aira gear sounds really good iv got the j6 and t8 gonna grab the e4 at some point and the s1 I'd like to see them bring out an aira sampler that would be dope something like the volca sample but direct samples I'd definitely buy one
The thing about these is..... well, ya can’t be fixed on what the past was. New musicians today need what they can afford, and if it’s got a remnant of a classic sound, we’ll make it work. Producing music happens all day, to many people, every day.
Thanks for the informative video! By the way, I nearly bought a Waldorf Iridium keyboard from your store, but your colleague said there is no option for an extended warranty. When spending nearly £2,500 on a new piece of kit, I naturally want to protect my investment. I bought the keyboard elsewhere, and was given a three year warranty free of charge. This is something you may want to think about, as you lost a sale.
oh man how cool would it be if he put the formant switch all the way down and went "2001 records and lack market records gathered to form an unfavorable clique. prepare for the hounds of the underground" or whatever
Honestly, it's truly sad to see what Roland have become. I don't believe for a split second that this is what Ikutaro would have wanted for his company. "Roland don't chase analogue ghosts". They're actually right... Only, nobody told us they were going to chase digital ones instead.
They didn’t say we don’t chase analog ghosts but - we don’t chase ghosts of the past. Which is even worse, because they are living on account of old fame. Nobody can believe what Roland became. I mean WTF!? They used to make a gear that was on legendary albums and gear that was moving boundaries in music. People from Roland gear used to develop new genres of music.
