I’ve used Alesis effects processors for decades, and have always loved how musical the earlier models were. The MIDIVerb 4s allow me to greatly extend the effects of my Tascam hardware multitrack recorders and are simple and easy to use. Best of all they sound very good doing it. I wanted to share this information with anyone on a budget who’s looking to augment their digital multi-track hardware recording setup. I hope this presentation serves useful.

I still have my Alesis!! It’s a legendary piece of early Mid Futuristic equipment that stands the test of time that does not age!!. It was ahead of its time in technology and competes with the new tech today that does not lose!!

Wow, this vid is a great intro to the actual usage of this unit! I’m looking at buying one of these, and this video really helped by showing me exactly how to navigate through it and why it’s functional features are good (I already trust the effects and all inside, but on these units, the capabilities in a real setup are always so hard to learn about): I wish more product reviews were like this!

I used to play a Alesia quadraverb back in the 90”s but I just ordered one of these off reverb to add some fun flair to my home recording rack … good video

Good clear explanation. I'm excited to dig deeper into controlling (the one I picked up) via midi in realtime (CC control of parameters). On thing that I didn't appreciate is the the selection/sequence of the effects are fixed into pre-defined 'algorythms'. You can not randomly/manually select which are used/routed.

Another great video and tying it into Tascam DP24...thanks

Based and alesispilled

love the video, even an old bloke like me can understand the way you have talk us through the hardware. I do have a question. I have had my midiverb for many years and use it solely for live stage for myself as a solo artist. I was wondering what would be your suggestion for the best effect setting for country and rock n roll music vocals. i also do a lot of Johnny Cash and balad type music. My hearing isn't the best so just looking for some suggestions please

Love this thanks dude!

Nice vid bro! One question. I just bought the eeprom kit (to upgrade the firmware to the last version) for the midiverb 4. Have you ever swapped an eeprom?

Great video! I too have the Midiverb 4 which I got in 1997. I just ordered a Tascam DP 24SD recorder Workstation and want to use the Alesis with it, but the Tadcam does not have the midi ports. Do you have a video on how to use the two together?

can you repeat this with demo test from mic. and to connect to analog mixer.

How can I use the it as a voice changer. Example Durning Halloween I want my voice to be Monsterish etc

Can you use this as an insert into a interface ???

Bought mine with a flimsy rotary encoder for the equivalent of 30 bucks early in 2020. Once I got that fixed it has been serving me pretty well... Since then I proceeded to add other processors, such as the effectron delays and a mxr flanger. Thinking of getting me a 2nd MV4, or a microverb 3 plus the digitech vocalist you reviewed. What reeeeeeeeeally bothers me is the wall-wart power supply tho...

buenos días amigo quisiera que me ayudes como conectar ecualizador + compresor a mixer y tengo interface presonus audio box 1818vsl, pero mi consola no tiene insert en el main y por eso no se como hacer esa conexión gracias de antemano

i have a midiverb 4 and i run it in the FX loop of my evh 5150 iii amp. i get loud hissing whenever i engage the alesis unit, is that common with this unit? i want to eliminate that hissing.

Good morning great video u did not show how to connect to the mixer as sound owner I now how to do it but I shore people out their doesn’t not no

Hello , can we conect midiverb to computer with DAW?

is that all right to use it for vocals?

Price. ?

hey man, my m4 just boots up to a home screen that says ALESIS MIDIVERB 4, and it stays there. None of the prog or utility light buttons are illuminated. Worked fine yesterday when i fired it up, but now seems completely locked to the start screen i just mentioned. Thinking i hit a button but and altered it, but i have tried various combinations. Any guesses? Probably bounce to the manual from here. thanks for the vid.
