Daft punky or what !!!! Love it 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

[@FreeBeat]

Thanks for watching!

[@jonmaddison]

Love this and your video with the MIDI keyboard into the E-4 as well.

[@FreeBeat]

Thanks so much!

[@bungeechord1]

Great jam!

[@jesusrocks7500]

Pretty freaking cool Bud... Turning your voice into a synth!

[@jahovahjira]

You're in True Cuckoo territory now FB! He'd be impressed, I'm sure! Wow! I love your creative ideas and your presentations so much! Thank you!!!!

[@FreeBeat]

Haha that's high praise, I love his videos! Thanks as always :)

[@SimpleHold]

Such a fun sound! I’ve never thought about combining a vocoder and sequencer/arpeggiator before.

[@FreeBeat]

It's a lot of fun!

[@NicoleHam]

I was looking for how the heck do I change channels for midi out, and you just straight up show it here. your channel is just insanely underrated man. THANKS for these e-4 tutorials!! just SO in love with mine + using itnwith the model samples

[@FreeBeat]

Happy to help, thanks so much for watching!

[@tradingjack1555]

Yay more e-4!

[@FreeBeat]

Glad you're liking the E-4 content!

[@kinnectar820]

Lots of fun!!!

[@FreeBeat]

Indeed it is!

[@eFiddle]

You are doing such a good job, I don't know how long before I give in to order one. ( I also subscribed to GAS therapy channel)!

[@FreeBeat]

I believe there are some free vocal effect (autotune, harmonize, etc) plugins you can get for your DAW if you're feeling the itch to do something like I did in the video. Thanks so much for watching!

[@DetroitMicroSound]

👍 I can't wait to play with that crazy E-4 thing!

[@FreeBeat]

It's a lot of fun!

[@dillipphunbar7924]

Excellent jam and those scatter fx were sweet!

[@FreeBeat]

Thanks for watching!

[@happyvibes2436]

Playing Castlevania on nes while listening to your videos

[@FreeBeat]

Awesome haha, thanks for watching (listening)!

[@jcolano4843]

Impressive video!

[@FreeBeat]

Thank you!

[@SuperRingoffire1]

Insane amounts of fun👌☮

[@bikegarrett]

So cool man keep the creativity coming great idea

[@FreeBeat]

Thanks!

[@Sadiquecat]

Furthermore the VT-4 doesn't have the looper/record part. Imo the E-4 Is terrific value for money :D Don't doubt your purchase x')

[@FreeBeat]

That's true, although I haven't used it at all yet hahaha. Thanks as always!

[@wiggesobk]

Haha this is so cool. Would love to see the E-4 with the MPC One. Maybe you could use a filter automation or something like that.

[@FreeBeat]

I hadn't even thought of using them together, since the MPC already has vocal effects on it, but I'll have to give them a shot! Thanks as always :)

[@summarity]

Man that's sweet! Funky! Going to try this out with my E4 and Circuit. Another fun thing to try: pipe the E4 through the NTS1 for better effects

[@FreeBeat]

That will be a lot of fun! And yeah I definitely think I'll do that haha. Thanks for watching :)

[@thanasisgot8841]

Did you try it? I got a circuit tracks about a month ago and i am thinking of getting the E4. Will the E4 get recorded in circuit tracks on track MIDI 1 or MIDI 2 lets say and be sequenced properly like a hardware synth? Or will it just sync to the Tracks' BPM and record the voice in itself?

[@krazywabbit]

You chose wisely! I just got my XLR to 1/8 cable today and can’t wait to fire it up! Funny to hear people complain the E-4 doesn’’t have XLR input. This sounded great and what type of cable(s) you used did not matter one bit!

[@FreeBeat]

My cable is missing some shielding and I have to cut quite a bit of noise out when I edit the videos haha, I'm excited to get a new one! Thanks for watching :)

[@sodiumlights]

very cool gizmo... but once again, after the v-3 and the gimmick full v-4, I still don't see why Roland has not added a de-esser. Surely this is one of the most essential elements of a Vox processor? I'd love to hear why this hasn't yet been incorporated when far older devices already implement it. Loved the video though.

[@FreeBeat]

Thanks for watching!

[@DJSockmonkeyMusic]

Awesome. I'm gonna see if I can recreate this idea in software with autotune or a vocoder plugin and an arppegiator. But I really want the E4

[@FreeBeat]

It's a lot of fun! Thanks for watching :)

[@MicroBanshee]

I have the two other compacts but I am kind of on the fence for this one, I've had the Aira VT-3 and used it very little, so will I have a use for the E4?.... erm your video suggests I might... that sounds awesome, thanks for the video.

[@FreeBeat]

The E-4 is definitely awesome, but what would make you use it over the VT-3? Just curious, as I don't have any experience with the VT line. Thanks for watching!

[@MicroBanshee]

@@FreeBeat it has the recording facility which the VT's don't have, could be useful!

[@anonymous_friend]

Any chance you can help me figure out how to use timeclock with the boomerang loopers? I would like to get the time clock to other devices to keep everything in sync.

[@FreeBeat]

I wouldn't be very helpful at all haha, sorry!

[@dustyaudio]

Can we get a dual vocoder session/comparison? Microfreak & E-4. Microfreak as controller for the e4 and separate mics? Could be cool Edit, just made it to the end lol thanks

[@FreeBeat]

I'll say right now that the E-4 vocoder is much better than the Microfreak's, at least when it comes to understandability. The power of the Freak's vocoder is all of those great modulation options haha. Thanks for watching!

[@rexcellencemagee6729]

The vocoder is a usable beat!

[@FreeBeat]

It certainly is!

[@wega4105]

Love it❤🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@FreeBeat]

Thanks!

[@mikethemachian6542]

can you sequence notes with the looper (and only play notes where you put steps on the cycles)

[@FreeBeat]

I don't believe you can sadly, but I could be wrong. Thanks for watching!

[@SonicVibe]

I wish it had the 5 pin midi myself

[@FreeBeat]

Me too, it was just convenient that they both had 3.5mm in this case haha. I'd much prefer them both to have 5 pin.

[@starykanalYT]

like the weeknd take my breath

[@FreeBeat]

Thanks for watching :)

[@alexwestconsulting]

someone needs the J-6 ;)

[@FreeBeat]

I might wind up with one eventually, just to cover for the channel, but I don't think I need one haha. Especially after throwing the J6 oscillator on my NTS-1! Thanks for watching :)

[@alexwestconsulting]

@@FreeBeat Roland’s acb is really good. Not something easily mimicked. The J6 as an arpeggiator is it’s selling point, but the sound engine is def quality.

[@rayderrich]

Standalone I feel the E-4 is just a gadget. Combined with MIDI input you enter a completely different game, and I can see why you are having so much fun!

[@FreeBeat]

Definitely! If you're already a good singer, I think it can be a pretty cool device standalone, but MIDI makes it usable for any of us. Thanks for watching :)
