Title link takes you to Chris Strellis' VP9000 page with a few demos, info and shots. If you ever wondered what this unit is capable of, check it out. I remember when these first came out. It was pretty groundbreaking technology at the time and it was priced accordingly. I remember there being issues with it and the price quickly went down. The Variphrase technology eventually made it's way into the VarioOS chameleon like rack and of course the VSynth followed by the new OASYS and VP-550."It's a 6 voice (yeah only 6!) polyphonic sampler with 136MB RAM and a 250MB Zip drive. But - after you record a sample - you then "encode" it. Once encoded you can, in real time, affect the pitch, duration, formant and groove all in real time. I can stretch say a spoken phrase down to single wave and up to double speed without affecting the pitch. I can move the formant frequency around (male to female and vice versa) and on drum loops affect the swing and groove."
BTW, I love this second shot. : ) Also the Matrixsynth plug at the end of the page. Gotta like that. Thanks Chris! BTW, be sure to check out the rest of Chris' site while there.
