Wow, that Midi in is going to be what sells this thing! Nicely done, I like this demo vibe.

The only reason I’d get one is to sing along to my Zapp & Roger LPs.

the reflex tune is crazy

That video was great, but i hate when bands use auto-tune, it really annoys me.

There must be some very strict laws about vocoder abuse, I want Black Eyed peas in jail… FOREVER!

There’s a mode in the V-256 called INSTRUMENT CTRL which is not really mentioned in the video. It is a wonderul effect that allows you to set the pitch of your vocals (no matter what pitch you sing) with a monophonic instrument. It works really well with guitar but it won’t track chords.

The way it works is you play a note on your guitar, say an E at the 5th fret on the B string. Then sing into the mic, the output of the effect will be your voice pich shifted either up or down to the same E note you played on the guitar.

Think of it as Auto-Tune that let’s you play the notes in real-time. It’s great as a new kind of talk box effect or new style of vocoding. I see a lot of possibilities for live use, mixing the guitar and vocal together where the vocal tracks the guitar.

I hate the standard T-pain type application. But I bet there are some interesting creative possibilities

I like the vocoder aspect of this new effect. I may have to pick one up in the future. It reminds me of an effect Ween might use, mang.
