■Audio processing with traditional pitch/formant sliders
VT-4 allows you to control formants and pitch in real time with the dedicated sliders on the top panel. It does not impair the player's imagination. In addition, the dedicated BALANCE slider makes it easy to adjust the mix with the dry sound.

■Easy pitch correction from natural correction to hard correction
VT-4 is equipped with a brushed-up version of the AUTOPITCH installed in the VT-3. A dedicated knob for finely adjusting the amount of correction in real time is located in the center of the top panel. This allows you to quickly correct the pitch without difficult settings. In addition, you can easily create a hard-tuned sound with strong pitch correction by simply turning the AUTO PITCH knob far to the right.

■Many voice effects and a variety of combinations
The VT-4 also features 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 the classic robot voice, megaphone voice, and a vocoder effect that reproduces vocoder sounds without a keyboard. In addition, four new harmony effects, TALK BOX, and spatial effects such as ECHO and TEMPO DELAY have been added, and the essential REVERB has also been brushed up. By combining them according to your preference, you can create a variety of expressions. You can store up to 8 effect settings you have created. You can instantly recall your favorite settings, making it ideal for live performances and stage performances.

■Functions that pursue practicality
The VT-4 is now equipped with a key setting knob. By setting the key that matches the song in advance, you can easily obtain comfortable pitch correction and harmony. In addition, the VT-4 is also equipped with a MIDI IN terminal. It is now possible to control pitch, harmony, and vocoder from the keyboard.

■Integration with PC/Mac
The VT-4 is equipped with a USB (AUDIO/MIDI) interface function. It also supports loopback function. By combining the interface function with real-time voice processing, the uses are further expanded, for example, by applying effects to the voice for streaming distribution or podcasting to add character.
