Now you can sound like Daft Punk, Stevie Wonder, Frampton and Zapp! This is the pro version of Pocket Talkbox, featuring 6 tones, customizable scale presets, pitch bend, vibrato, and the ability to change keys up to two octaves higher or lower. ***If you have never used a talkbox before, be sure to watch the tutorial and try the lite version first*** HOW DOES IT WORK?!? Play a tune or a tone, pointing the speaker directly into your mouth. The SHAPE OF YOUR MOUTH creates the effect (not your voice). Start by giving the keyboard a wah-wah effect by mouthing (not speaking) "wah-wah-wah" over the speaker. PRO TIP: Point the SPEAKER (not the MICROPHONE) into your mouth while you play the notes. Move your mouth but do not use your voice! Please make an effort to understand how a talkbox works before saying it doesn't. Every musical instrument takes a certain amount of practice and this is one of them. Have fun! For additional info and full tutorials, please visit http://vbiliti.com/pockettalkbox
