Roland VT3

Voice Transformer

EASY VOICE TRANSFORMATION WITH VOCODER, LO-FI EFFECTS, AND SYNTHS YOU CAN SING

Aggressively processed vocals are common in electronic music today, but producing these effects easily and reproducing them live has been a challenge —until now. With the VT-3 Voice Transformer, you can smoothly alter pitch and formant in real time to introduce heavily processed vocal sounds into your studio tracks and stage performances with zero hassle. On top of that, the VT-3 looks great and works seamlessly with other products in the AIRA series.

TOTAL TRANSFORMATION

The VT-3 is not just for robot voices (although we totally approve of robot voices). It also has the power to transform your voice into synthesizers, synth basses, hard-tuned and lo-fi sounds, and more. The VT-3 can also be subtle and musical, with built-in reverb, smooth wet/dry fader control, and instant bypass.

Transform your voice with different character types:

Pop and electro sounds with two distinctive Auto-Pitch effects

Create VP-330-style Vocoder sounds without the need for a keyboard

Scatter function for glitchy effects that sound like something’s broken (in a good way)

Loads of lo-fi character with Megaphone and Radio settings

Synthetic sounding voices with the Robot button

Synth, Lead, and Bass settings for synths you can sing

SMOOTH CONTROL

Built for creative speed and live performance, the VT-3 is meant to be played. It features high-quality specs and sturdy, brightly lit controls that are dead simple to use. The controls and functions are smooth and immediate, with no popping, clicking, or latency issues to worry about, even when switching presets or changing voice characters. Weighing less than two pounds and small enough to slip into a bag, you can take the VT-3 anywhere.
