ABOUT Variphrase is the basic idea behind the VSynth that lets you play the sample independently: pitch, time (length) and formants, so 3 octaves higher: no mickey mouse effect, freezing and scanning through it like a wavetable and play at any pitch without changing its length (like any normal sampler).
ABOUT Variphrase ist das Zauberwort für eine Sample-Engine (Granular Sampling / Timeslice oder Zeitscheibenverfahren). Samples können angehalten oder rückwärts gespielt oder eingefroren werden. Samples können auch generell auf allen Tonhöhen gleich lang sein (kein Mickey Mouse Effekt).
ABOUT
DETAILS 8MB expandable to 136MB, SCSI, disc drive. FX (reverb etc.). the sampling core alone is the key, in the VSynth there is a whole synthesis engine around it.. anyway.. it's worth as is! 1024 samples available but 12 assignable to one "sound/patch".
DETAILS 8MB erweiterbar auf 136MB, SCSI, disk laufwerk. FX (reverb etc.) - dieser Kern ist im Vsynth mit einer kompletten Synthese-Einheit umgeben, dennoch ist sie so spannend, das sie sich schon "alleine" lohnt. etwa 1024 Samples, 12 sind einsetzbar pro "sound".
DETAILS
SOUND strange and unusual more natural samples
SOUND spezielles sampling und sample verwurstung
SOUND
VERSION optional: rack VSynth XT. does much more.

variphrase
this is very much like the vsynth and variOS, but only the "core" technology, no filters but also with variphrase samples.. means: play samples with no time change ,stop in a sample etc.. use the "vproducer" software to get some sort of variOS functionality, they are cheap used now... (compare variOS , VP9000 , v-synth)
