Key Features
Product Ref: 317165
From the studio to the stage, the Roland Aira Compact E-4 is the ultimate performance tool for vocalists, beatboxers and MCs. Basing its design on its sibling the VT-3, the E-4 incorporates all the same tools and features in a compact and portable design. Boasting an intuitive interface with hands-on controls; the E-4 is ideal for live performances as well as studio work. Shape and transform your voice using the pitch and formant sliders or dial-in rhythmic effects using the ‘Scatter’ knob. You can also shape your sound further using the low-filter and noise-gate to eliminate any unwanted sounds or low-end rumble.
From real-time pitch correction to a musical harmonizer and even a vocoder; the E-4 has everything you need to create powerful vocal performances. If you’re a singer, you can use the harmony button to add ethereal harmonies to your songs/performances. There is even an onboard vocoder so you can capture the sound of the 80s, championed by Roger Troutman and used in countless hit records from that era.
Capture your inspiration when it strikes with the onboard looper, providing 24-seconds of recording time with unlimited overdubbing. This opens a world of possibilities when it comes to creating loops, sequences and even full-blown vocal pieces. If you’re a beatboxer, this looper can be great for building up loops from the ground up. For example, you could lay down a drum beat then add a bassline, then a melody; all using your voice! Championed by the likes of Beardyman, this live-looping process is made easier than ever with the E-4
Not only that, but you can add some texture and process your vocals with a range of studio-grade effects on offer. Add some depth to your sound using the reverb or echo effect. There is also a tempo-synced delay and an array of chorus effects to choose from.
Designed for musicians and performers on the go; the Roland Aira E-4 features a highly compact design that will fit in your lap and be stored easily within most backpacks. Play and perform wherever you go thanks to the built-in Lithium-ion battery, which provides up to 4.5 hours of playback from a full charge. Not only that but the housing of the beat machine is constructed using robust materials to ensure a durable enclosure. Roland has also used high-quality components throughout the manufacturing process including premium-quality rubber pads for the various controls, ensuring a long lifespan.
The rear panel of the Aira Compact E-4 features a wide variety of connection options including audio, MIDI and sync I/O, as well as an AIRA Link port for connecting multiple Aira Compact units together.
