New Roland Aira Compact E-4 Voice Tweaker Portable Vocal Processor and Looper

A vocalist's best friend.

The E-4 Voice Tweaker is an outrageously jammable box of fun that harmonizes, auto-pitches, vocodes, loops, and glitches your voice and anything else you feed it.

Inspiring Roland vocal processing.

The E-4 combines powerful voice transformer tools and standard vocal effects with a tactile interface that's meant to be played. This lean, mean machine puts a treasure trove of top-quality processing in a go-everywhere gadget that's endlessly enjoyable and amazingly affordable.

Perform with sound. By working the E-4's inviting panel, you can go from traditional vocal enhancements to punchy beatboxed grooves to striking alien soundscapes—all in a single performance.

Harmonic explorer. Take your singing to the next level with automatic harmony effects. Set the key and chord voicing on the fly. And with Auto Pitch, you can dial in everything from subtle tuning fixes to the hard-tuned sounds heard in mainstream pop tracks.

Channel your inner robot. Use direct-access tools to instantly change your vocal gender, conjure sounds from outer space, or transform yourself into a mechanical persona. There's also a powerful vocoder, which you can drive from a large pool of onboard synth waveforms, the E-4's pitch functions, or an external MIDI keyboard.

Loop and Scatter. Turn one voice into an entire orchestra using the 24-second looper. Overdub layer after layer with the E-4's effects, then slice and dice with the expressive Scatter knob.

Link up and go. Connect a handheld mic to the front input for performing, or use a gaming headset or the inline mic on your earbuds for your next livestream or podcast. Sync with other AIRA Compacts like the T-8 Beat Machine and J-6 Chord Synthesizer, or interface with computer DAWs, mobile music apps, and hardware instruments via USB-C or MIDI.
