■ Easy pitch correction from natural correction to hard correction
The VT-4 comes with a brushed-up version of the AUTOPITCH on the VT-3. A dedicated knob for fine-tuning the real-time effect is located in the center of the top panel. This makes it possible to perform pitch correction quickly without making difficult settings. In addition, hard tune sounds with strong pitch correction can be easily created by simply turning the AUTO PITCH knob to the right.

■ Many voice effects and various combinations
In addition, the VT-4 has five effect types selected for voice. Each of the five effect types has four variations and can be used in combination. The built-in effects also include a vocoder effect that reproduces classic robot voices, megaphone voices, and vocoder sounds without a keyboard. In addition, four new harmony effects, TALK BOX, ECHO and TEMPO DELAY have been added as spatial effects, and the essential REVERB has been brushed up. Use them in combination according to your preference to create a variety of expressions. Up to eight effect settings can be stored in memory. You can instantly recall your favorite settings, perfect for live and stage performances.

■ Functions pursuing practicality
