FEATURES
CONTENTS
•
The four built-in
pitch shifting units
can
create
chorus
effects, similar to
singing
in
unison,
by
digitally
processing the
sound. Also,
it
can be used
like
a
vocoder
by connecting
a
MIDI keyboard.
•
These four
pitch shifting units
can be
turned on simultaneously, therefore, five
sounds, including the direct
sound, can
appear
at
the
same
time.
•
The
VP-70
also features
a
function that
converts audio
signals to
MIDI,
and
this
function
can be used with
the pitch shifting
function
at
the
same
time.
•
The
VP-70
has
MIDI
Mono mode
that
assigns a different
MIDI
channel
to
each
of the
four pitch shifting units
and
therefore
allows each pitch shifting unit to receive
different
MIDI messages
separately.
•
The
VP
-
70's
memory
capacity
can
retain
up
to
128 different effects.
