Vocals on the Road
The E-4 isn't just reserved for the stage. Thanks to 3.5 hours of run time on a single charge via an onboard lithium-ion battery, you can get experimenting whenever and wherever inspiration strikes!
AIRA Compatibility
Connect the E-4 to the J-6 Chord Synth or the T-8 Beat Machine for even more sonic scope. You can also hook up a headset, handheld mic, or use the inline mic on a pair of earphones to perform exactly how you like! USB-C and MIDI connectivity ensure that the E-4 can interface with apps, external hardware instruments and your favourite DAW too.
Scattergun
Dissect your sounds, cut it into slices, and tweak it all with a simple turn of the intuitive Scatter knob. Or, why not apply layers of your voice via overdubbed effects and loop it with the 24-second looper.
Vocal Soundscapes
By harnessing the in-built arsenal of trigger looper controls, sonic shapers and Scatter effects – alongside format, pitch and other alterable settings – you can transform your voice in either futuristic, or more traditional ways. For example, why not add some robotic flair, or change the gender of your vocal entirely!
That's not all; instant harmony effects, such as chord and key voicing changes, plus Auto Pitch let you craft a vocal sound influenced by the greatest modern day chart music.
