User questions & answers

Question:	Does this come with mic stand mount
Answer:	No, there is no mount included.
Question:	Volume is a power amp (output) function where as Gain is a pre amp (input) function. Is the knob below phantom power switch gain, not volume control
Answer:	The knob below the phantom power switch is a volume knob that controls the mic input volume.
Question:	Can you hook this up to a goxlr, to potentially further enhance your voices
Answer:	A second method is to connect the 1/4"(L) and 1/4"(R) Output (line outs) from the Zoom V3 with an intermediary, impedance matching device, such as a Whirlwind pcDI box or similar, thus convert the two line outs from the Zoom V3 into a pair of XLR outputs, one of which can be passed on to the XLR microphone input on the GoXLR. This second method can be used to connect a Zoom V3 to a Zoom P8.
Question:	How long do the batteries usually last
Answer:	On four AA batteries the device will power for about 3.5 hours.

The VT-4 is an effect processor for the instrument inside us all-the human voice. And like the human voice, the VT-4 is easy to use, yet devastatingly effective. Whether you’re a solo electronic artist, DJ, or singer in a band, the VT-4 lets you craft and shape your own unique vocal sounds, from subtle augmentation to radical transformation. Everything is hands on, with no menu diving or programming to get in the way. Jaw-dropping effects like harmonizing, vocoding, pitch shifting, hard tuning, and more are just a push, slide, or turn away. The VT-4’s combination of small size, simple controls, and USB-audio capabilities make it uniquely suited to altering your voice for YouTube broadcasts, game streaming, podcasting, and more. And with its compact size and five-hour battery life, you can use the VT-4 anywhere.

Insanely Creative

Today’s musical styles increasingly use unusual vocal sounds with heavy processing, making them stand out and grab the listener’s attention. With the VT-4, you have a wealth of modern and retro vocal effects at your fingertips, with no need to resort to a complicated setup with a computer and plug-ins. All the effects are top-notch, with everything from delay and reverb to mind-bending formant and vocoding effects. Better still, the VT-4’s performance-oriented interface lets you ride the controls while you sing to constantly alter the sound to suit the track and enhance the vibe of your performance.

Be Who You Want to Be

Great-sounding pitch and formant effects are hard to come by, especially without a computer. And real-time tweaking of these effects often results in nasty artifacts and other unpleasantness. With the VT-4 you have totally smooth, instant control over both pitch and formant, with dedicated faders for each. Changing presets and tweaking controls is smooth and immediate, with no jarring artifacts, glitches, or dropouts. Take on the persona of different characters in diverse locations, or sound larger than life when taunting your foes. Add humor, danger, wit, and variety to your streaming broadcasts-your imagination is your only limitation.

Transformative Effects

Achieving complex vocal effects is easy with the VT-4, and you can even use multiple 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 raunchiness. Or run the vocoder through a tape delay or vintage chorus. Each effect has 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 controls just how you like them, and then simply hold down a preset button to save that setup for later.

MIDI Control

The VT-4 works great on its own and can harmonize and vocode without any input other than your voice. But plugging a MIDI keyboard into the VT-4 opens even more expressive possibilities, letting 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 small footprint sits nicely on most keyboards and is easy to integrate into your setup, dishing out huge backing vocals and funky vocoded leads by the bucketload.

User questions & answers

Question:	How will this help a person who raps and doesnt sing
Answer:	It is dominantly for tuning sung notes, so my impression would be not that much. However, if you sing a FEW notes while rapping, you can get that mechanized sound as you change pitch if you set it for aggressive tuning. In addition, as a vocal processor there are some fun effects to play with.
Question:	I have a zoom r16 recording machine...can I plug this into my zoom and use it that way? Will I hear the vocals in my head phones like plugging in a no
Answer:	This machine has a line output, you need a tr 44 connection. Which basically is a really big headphones jack. That plugs into your mixer. Then it goes to your DAW. If you have the setting in your DAW to hear yourself life then all is good
Question:	Hello everyone, I have 2 tascam ta-1vp, but as soon as I activate the auto-tune function has the speed of correction to 0, my voice crackling
Answer:	The speed correction is not universal. Each program has to be saved with its own speed correction.
Question:	Can this be used for the studio
Answer:	Yes this unit works best in a studio environment.
