Download Roland R MIX Audio Processing Software
Irmgard Verzi
R-MIX Tab is a simplified version of R-MIX that lets you visualize and control your music intuitively and instantly in real time. Unique V-Remastering technology (*1) provides real-time visual analysis of a stereo mix, including volume, frequencies, and stereo location. This makes it possible to see, hear, and perform audio-processing tasks that were difficult or impossible to achieve in the past, such as removing, extracting, and changing the volume of the individual instruments within a stereo mix.
*The R-MIX Tab is not compatible with iOS 11, and has been discontinued.
The VR-4HD is a complete HD studio in a compact and portable package that replaces several different pieces of complex A/ V equipment.
Designed with single-person operation in mind, the VR-4HD enables easy switching and mixing of sound and video using advanced video and audio Digital Signal Processing (DSP) along with dedicated hardware controls faders, buttons and touch screen interface. It beautifully integrates a digital audio mixer, video switcher, multi-viewer touch screen and USB video/audio streaming interface into a stand-alone device. This portable live HD production solution is ideal for schools, churches, council meetings, corporate events, sports, training sessions, or any other live event.
The VR-4HD has three dedicated HDMI input connectors compatible with a variety of equipment and support 1080p/1080i/720p video resolution. The fourth input includes a scaler to support both video and computer resolutions and also supports analog RGB and component input so older devices can be used as sources without the need for external conversion equipment.
Both progressive and interlace signals can be input allowing for both 1080i and 1080p signals to be used at the same time. Video signals input from a PC are accurately displayed thanks to progressive signal processing. HDCP is supported for input of copy protected content from devices such as Blu-ray disc players.
The DSK function is great for overlaying titles, song lyrics or logos onto incoming video sources that can be switched in the background while text or images remain displayed.The DSK supports both Luminance Keying (Black / White) and Chroma Keying (Blue / Green) for compositing two videos in one screen using Picture-in-Picture, or for using the split function - ideal for seminars and presentations.
A unique loop-back audio capability is included with the USB 3.0 port that can bring in audio from a connected PC using a conferencing software, such as Skype, and return audio to the PC without any howling or echo thanks to the included Echo Cancelation feature. This makes the VR-4HD an ideal web conferencing tool that allows for multiple video and audio sources to be used with free online webconference softwares.
The included Auto-Mixing function makes mixing multiple speakers at conferences and panels simple and easy by automatically managing the levels of the microphones across the multiple people speaking. and can even give priority for volume Volume priority can be assigned to an event moderator who can always be heard above the other participants.
Recording or webcasting from the VR-4HD is easily achieved by connecting to a PC or Mac using the built-in USB 3.0 connection. Up to Full 1080p uncompressed resolution can be output from the VR-4HD. The VR-4HD embeds the audio mix with the video program and delivers at the selected resolution.
The free VR Video Capture application for Mac and PC provides an easy and effective way to capture uncompressed video with high resolution audio. The VR Video Capture application can also capture compressed video for easy and immediate delivery of content to online video sites or internal corporate servers.
The VR-4HD RCS software is designed to control the VR-4HD using a computer.
By connecting the VR-4HD to your computer via USB, you will be able to copy settings (backup) or update the system software of the VR-4HD in addition to remote controlling the unit from your computer.
The VR-4HD is equipped with a D-Sub 9-pin TALLY/GPIO connector. In addition to tally input/output functions, this provides functionality for control signal input and output, and you can use it to transmit and receive.
Extreme voice processing has always been rather easier to achieve in the studio than in a live scenario, and even then the process could be a little tricky. Despite this, the popularity of vocoding and voice synthesis remains strong, especially in electronic music. The smallest but arguably most innovative of Roland's new AIRA range is the VT-3 Voice Transformer, a highly portable but well constructed box for changing live vocal input.
Around the back you'll find a combo XLR / jack mic input with phantom power, stereo jack outs which can be split into separate wet and dry mono channels and a pedal input to trigger the effect remotely. You also get a USB port that can carry audio to and from your computer and also carries power, and a mains power input.
The VT-3 aims to take the hassle out of vocal processing, and I'm happy to report than in this it definitely succeeds. I've usually not bothered much with heavy vocal processing apart from the odd bit of pitch correction, because it can be such a hassle to set up and get right. Not here though. Hook up the mic, sort out monitoring and you're off. There are master volume and mic sensitivity controls as well as a peak meter, and wet/dry effect mix and reverb sliders that make controlling input and output levels simple as well as three slots to store presets.
The VT-3 also contains a voice synthesizer and three presets that make use of this specifically. Sing into it and it mirrors the pitch of your voice with a synth noise, and if you choose to make sounds rather than singing words this can be incredibly creative. Other presets include Megaphone and Radio, instant extreme EQ-style presets and good for hip hop. Last but certainly not least is the Scatter effect which has a really clever pattern and tempo detection system. This analyses what you input in real time and creates stutter and other glitch effects based on it. So say something slow and the effect will mirror that, or something quick to trigger extreme stutter.
I honestly didn't expect to find a great deal to say about a vocal processor, but the VT-3 is without a doubt the most fun and accessible way to play with vocals in real time that I have ever used. Not only does it take the hassle out of vocoding, it's tremendously flexible with its other effects as well, meaning it's not just for fans of robot or auto-tuned voices. Crucially you don't have to be an expert on carrier waves, you can just plug in and go. It would be great in the studio of course but also and perhaps more importantly, in live situations where vocal processing has always been much harder to get right. Expect to see these popping up all over the place, especially at that very competitive price.

The gear required for these DJs is therefore much more extensive than the average DJ. Mobile DJs need to provide everything: speakers, lights, screens, microphones, additional mixers, speaker processing units, and more. Since mobile DJ operations tend to be one-person shows, space and weight requirements become a major factor in their purchasing choices.
