I stumble across this vid for the first time 11 years later and even then Daniel was an interesting presenter and class act.
I have followed IVL's technology since 1991, have owned most related devices by different manufactures, have made notable uses myself, and follow the UA-cam videos. This demo is the best that I have seen as it demonstrates the total technology behind and beyond auto harmonies. Daniel moved through the features quickly and efficiently. The theremin is a fantastic idea to show pitch correction.
Unsurprisingly this is the best demo of the pedal online, I'm not much of a singer, but I can see what the pedal does without years of singing training.
this is what I've always wanted to see on a demo on this product, the theremin was the greatest idea to show the pitch correction !!!! genius!!!!
this demo is showing exactly what I needed to know, thx! when what you want to know is how well a unit performs, you take it in that approach. the idea of the theremin is perfect to know how well the pitch correction goes.
It's definitely a matter of what you know, as opposed to what you can show. Daniel here has a sharp mind for defining verbally what the machine can do. I think we appreciate that easier than having the distraction of a shifting focus with multiple singers and trying to decide what fits for our own needs Thumbs up to Daniel.
I love your demos and in fact, it was the RE 20 demo that persuaded me to buy one in the uk, literally minutes after watching it, so great job and keep it up Daniel , youre a legend matey
"Got my mind on my money and my money on my mind." Awesome!
Great demo bro! I have this and I absolutely cannot play a live gig without it as a solo ukulele player/singer the harmony pedal is an awesome feature! Boss is the Boss!!
the theremin part is incredible!!!science blows my mind
Dont normally comment on youtube but have to say, what a great demo... excellent presenting.
Cheers
great demo! Just got mine today. Thanks for the added bit with the Theremin. Very much appreciated!
Excellent demo of the Pitch Correct function
Ok the hand frequency sold me! I'll buy!
Brilliant demo, best on youtube yet!!
I watched the orriginal version and cut it instantly, you don't really know what these things sound like until you have somebody stand there and actually screw around with it like this dude...
Thanks dude ! I believe your not a beat boxer, but dang that sounded really good with minimal effort, I can see how this can be as much fun as potentially amazing under the right circumstances of band~ :)
Great demonstration, thanks a lot!
best ve-20 demo I've seen!
Other important stuff: the pitch correction can be set to the basic Maj / MIn scales but setting to Chromatic seems to be the best for good singers.
Also IT SUPPLIES PHANTOM POWER AT 48V for your condensor mics.
Attractive features:
It has Speakon connectors for input, and stereo L/R outputs. it has stereo 1/4 jacks for headphones or to a mixer.
Even if I don't use the harmoniser, it works as a great reverb, delay, chorus, flange, strobe, phrase sampler for voice or instruments in my setup.
@danielobrien8 Thanks for your feedback. Our goal was to show the many capabilities of the VE-20. There are a number of excellent singing demos online. When Daniel decided to create this video, he did so to demonstrate a variety of other uses for the VE-20's effects, including for speech, which is also a popular application and one we wanted to highlight.
Great demo! Good job! Nice Examples!!
Great demo. Thanks.
hey, that wasn't a bad demo, at all. I was kind of expecting cheesy 90s rap with the looper but it turned out to be a good improv. I don´t even thing a single person on youtube has ever hooked one to a theremin!
Daniel Fischer, you just blew my mind. I have been using the obvious delay to help smooth the sound but also I have a Harmonist HR2 that I have set to play a 4th and 6th below (So that its a full chord with the theremin on the octave) Ive found that this helps me because the harmonist stays in key too.... but to use this guy to put the initial note in tune?!?!?!? WTF?!?!? Thats awesome! I know its not theremin enthusist friendly.... but Jonathan Smith at my local dive bar is not gonna know....
Where can I get this guy's acappella album??
Excellent demo!
Superb demo.Makes me want one.
just great & thanks for your support
Thank you, this demo helps me a lot.
I have had this for years but I am trying to get the Mr Tambourine Byrds harmony and for some reason I can't seem to, anyone any advice?
Hi, would I be able to connect a SENNHEISER ew 100 wireless microphone earpiece to the VE-20? I connected the VE-20 and there is a lot of distortion.
excellent job now I know what this processor can do.. Im buyin one!
Hi do you know which speakers you need to hear sound please for this pedal?
Awesome demo!
Great job. Sounds terrific
Great vid demo ! Thks !
That all very nice. But how do you toggle between effects while you're singing?
Is there an aplication for this to be used running my guitar thru it?
can i hook this up to a usb recording device then that recording device to my pc and record it? and can i use it for skype and stuff like that?
It would be nice if you didn`t cut the reverb or delay "tail" when you switch presets. thnk about it. i`m an mc and i`m using tc helicon create . same problem.
best tutorial on this product! thanks dude!
Seems like a lot of useful effects you could apply immediately to your performances.
Olá Sou Músico saxofonista, brasileiro, comprei um Ve-20 e estou usando ele no meu saxofone, estou adorando.Muito BOM !!!
Question, can you set up different channels and switch between them using the pedal ? For example 1)a reverb on one, 2)tape echo on another etc....
I want to be able to use this in a live situation and quickly change channels in different songs
Great Job Daniel
3:04 , 4:07 , 4:27 , 4:36 , 4:46 and 8:39 were all extremely scary, but it was 5:57 that made me cry myself to sleep the night i watched this...
can i do the harmony the same way with the Boss VE-5 i just bought....and how?how did you invert ect???
I run almost anything through it. It works. don't expect to run this straight into your multitrack recording and remix later. it has noticeable artifacts but sounds great live for any club band. I only use pitch correction as an effect. this isn't a harmoniser so don't complain if you dont know some basic theory on music or have no ear for tasteful pitch shifting. my comments are based on the usual complaints by hobbyist music enthusiasts expecting this to make them sound like The Eagles 'live' or plain clueless. If u see someone sounding real good on this, its them and their sound guy that tested every patch setting for the live set. no substitute for skill.
Hey Sweetwater Sound, it's a good thing I didn't see this vid before I went out and bought the BOSS VE20. This vid looks like a guy having fun with a multi effect pedal that makes FX sounds, something like the early pitchshifters of the 90s + modulation + preamp distortions. You should show how pitching the voice or instrument to a key sounds like when a passage of notes are played, and change the keys. I felt the selling point for this was the ease of setting up my patches, Simple.
Excellent, however I don't know much about changing parameters by buttons, What you can adjust except scroling by the knob? In additon relative to sound quality is this comparable to rack fx?
I'm new to this but wanted some direction as toward which cable etc i may need. I want to buy this but i'm not sure how to connect it up what type of stereo, amp, aux can it be connected? cheers!
i just love this guy, keep it up!
This is a very good demo of the peda. Thanks for doing it. Oh and 6:00 was disturbing! HAHAH
great demo thanks
@MrMusicMaXimum
Hey I use it with my lap steel for single note when I need a different chord inversion not available on with my slanted steel. Turned off the pitch correction, but set the correct key and I can slide chromatic runs. Like wise on vocals it creates great fills, or response phrases. Plug in the electric git and rocks, Minimal use is enough, one complimentary harmony is cool. Balance between the parts and softer highest and lowest parts are things to set.
This is the best video on youtube.
@EWSdaily
It only has one input, but I use an A/B switch box to alternate between my dynamic mic and lap steel. Using the VE-20 as a processor for the lead lines and voice.
But I have a correction: speakon jacks only on input, the 2 outputs are std XLR.
can i get a flanger, pitch correction, reverb and delay all at the same time if i need to?
is it possible to do low range vocal pitch change as one of the settings? A.K.A "chopped and screwed"?
Not a great singer, but compared to actual singers, you gave the best rundown explanations on what the "Boss VE-20 Vocal Effects Processor" is capable of.
Thankyou.
is it possible to have numerous effects enabled at the same time ie distortion + flanger + doubler, or is it one effect at a time (excluding the layering of the looping function of course)?
which is better rc-30 or ve-20?? thhnkss
And now I can see where moog got inspiration for adding auto tune to the mini theremin! You should get a comission!
How does the VE20 compare with the TC Voicelive GTX? Features, performance, quality?
Does it need Power speakers ECT to work ??
daniel wan to ask you about midipipe do it work with midicontroller like dj midicontroller also?
Is there any kind of processor that can make change pitch from a Baritone to a first tenor and make it sound natural?
@nickeeboy Actually I am looking for Harmonizing melody I play on my accordion or saxophone. Problem may occur when I play different parts in different keys and no time to change the key manually BOSS VE-20.But I may try to borrow from the music store and try what works best.
Thank you very much for your answer anyway.
Can you record and then just leave the beat going on removing the other ones, or do you have to record the beat again? Also can you record with any effect or sing in any effect without interrupting the beat going on the side?
Can this be used in a studio setting?
thanks for the video! is it have a robot effect vocoder?
How does it compare to the voicelive touch?
Can you add effects to the pedal?
I'm sold!
I got it yesterday!!! Thumbs up who got envious! :D
Can the vocal effects be edited?
I've got this what I cannot understand is how can you play an acoustic guitar and sing just standard harmonies with yourself without the mic picking up what the guitar is doing and then it sounds terrible? also when I just try to get standard two part harmonies with my recorded lead vocal it has some sort of weird harmony instead of just the 3td. and 5th. Help please, anyone.
HOLY SHIT!
I need to get this pedal and the theremin!!
@aorphia Where did u find it for that price?
You just reminded me of that very cool Pink Floyd Song :D
can this be used in studio
Hi przemyslawlxx,
There are many, many parameters you can adjust and store per patch. There aren't enough characters allowed here to even begin listing them.
The best thing would be to download the Owner's Manual from Roland's site for free. You just have to register once and then you can get any manual they ever made.
el ve20 se puede conectar a un pc?
Hello thank you very much for the video i am a beatboxer i just want to start with looping it is it a good looping station for it and Thanx.
I NEED TO BUY IT
Great and Hilarious demo!~
Definetely BOSS, for the looping feature (not available on EH) and the pedal-design, useful for guitar players.
@MrMusicMaXimum
Hi, you might want to use a different patch for that key change. eg: patch 58 verse -> patch 59 key change bridge -> patch 60 key change in chorus . Maybe it should be one after the other, if you don't like to re-load the patch 58 two steps back. The change can be made by pressing down the right harmony pedal for 2 seconds, then left and right pedals act as up and down controls for patch change.But other brands have effects that read chord voicings from your keyboard player.
Does the boss ve 20 make sound itself??? and if not, then after I plug in my mic, how do I make it make sound??? lol sorry noob here.
And how the hell can you take the patches you made, and transfer them to a computer?????
That was great. Superstar.
@astrophonix You might have to dial in the appropriate scales for it to work best and use a pitch correction strength that suits your needs.
I'm not familiar with Neptune though, only with Antares ART and AVP-1, the hardware auto tuners.
In theory a pitch correcting plugin should be able to fix any voice regardless how bad you're singing. It helps when you're close to the notes, but if all fails you should use midi notes as pitch guides for the auto tuner. Then just record along that.
mr. fisher, you keep giving me g.a.s..
kudos
This is beyond cool
@PHeMoX I just got the Neptune pitcher with Reasonrecord and find it's not as easy to use as I thought, unless my voice is SO bad that even a pitch adjuster can't help it!
can i add external samples from my kaossilator pro and use my theremin with some of the effects the ve-20 offers
/ pitch correction all at the same time? and is this a stand alone unit / i dont need a PC?
Hi, Frank! Thanks for your question. You can process one input of external audio via the combo jack (1/4" or XLR) regardless of source. So either the Kaossilator or Theremin or a mic. Effects and pitch correction are available simultaneously. There are no digital connections for editing patches or for audio via USB/Thunderbolt, etc.
If this isn't a complete answer to your question, please contact me direct. Thanks again!

What are the songs names?
For those who want sounds more similar to the sounds from "Good Vibrations" by the Beach Boys, they need an electro-theremin (a Tannerin).
I NEED ONE!!!!! AMAZING!
No you don't, I bought one, waste of money, keep your money and go and compare other products.
Hello everyone,
Has anyone out there tried Vocal Performer with acoustic instruments such as: saxophone, flute or accordion? How did it work? With good result , or ..? Does anyone have good ideas what to use to get good results with acoustic instruments? Thanks in advance.
awesome
