The Roland VP-9000VariPhrase Processor is a revolutionary elastic audio processor capable of realtime manipulation of sampled phrases' pitch, time, and formant via MIDI while maintaining superb sound quality. Thanks to VariPhrase technology, the VP-9000 can instantly match loops from different sources to the same key and tempo, bend notes in realtime without changing the phrase length, modify the duration of notes held within a phrase, play a sample chordally in perfect synchronization, or add swing to a straight drum loop—all in a highly musical, non-destructive environment.
