What Is Variphrase - Roland V-Synth GT Quick Start Manual

What is VariPhrase?

"VariPhrase" is technology that breaks through the limitations of conventional samplers, and
allows you to independently change the pitch, time (playback speed), and formants (vocal charac-
ter) of the sampled sound in realtime.

On conventional samplers, changing the pitch would also change the time (playback speed) and
the formants (the vocal or tonal character).
However when using VariPhrase, you can change just the pitch while leaving the time and for-
mants unaltered.
Of course, you can also change just the "time" or just the "formants" to transform the bark of a
large dog into the bark of a small dog.
In this way, the VariPhrase that's at the core of the V-Synth GT gives you a range of control that was
not possible on conventional samplers.
