1. Loading wave files (Load Wave Files) (p. 56)
Load wave files (.wav, aiff, or SD2) from your computer into V-Producer.
At this time the following processes will be performed automatically.
• The wave file will be converted into a VariPhrase format file that can be handled as
VariPhrase data (Encoding, p. 55)
• The VariPhrase format file (.vpw) will be sent to the sound module (VariOS) via USB.
• The VariPhrase format file (.vpw) will be saved on the computer's hard disk.
2. Make settings for samples and play them (Sample List) (p. 58)
The wave files that were loaded in step 1 will be displayed as a list of samples.
You can use your MIDI keyboard to directly play the samples that are shown in the sample list.
You can also place samples in the Vari Track by dragging and dropping them.
In the Sample Edit screen (p. 62) you can edit various sample parameters to specify how the
sample will play.
In the Wave Edit screen (p. 65) you can re-encode the sample (convert the encoding type or modify
the tempo data).
3. Creating a song (Vari Track) (p. 68)
Create a song by dragging and dropping samples from the sample list. A sample that is placed in
this way is called a "frame." You can also use your MIDI keyboard to play the samples in real time
and record them.
In Frame Properties (p. 74) you can edit the settings (volume, pitch, location, etc.) of each frame
placed in the vari track.
4. Phrase editing (Scope Editor) (p. 76)
Edit the performance data for the frames that you placed in the track. You can edit Pitch, Time,
Format, volume (Dynamics), and notes. In the Scope Editor you can use two methods of editing.
Phrase Scope (p. 77)
The performance data in a frame is interpreted as a phrase. This method is used mainly to edit the
melodic aspect of a phrase. For example, in the case of a vocal sample, you can vary the melody
line, or add harmony to create chords. This type of editing is particularly useful for samples that
contain a monophonic melody, such as vocals.
Groove Scope (p. 87)
The performance data in a frame is interpreted as a rhythm pattern. This method is used mainly
to edit rhythm material.
For example, in the case of a drum pattern sample, each of the slices delineated by events will be
a drum sound, such as bass drum or snare. By changing the time location of the slices you can re-
configure the drum pattern. This type of editing is particularly useful for rhythm samples such as
drum patterns.
5. Saving (p. 91)
Save the results of your editing.
Save a V-Producer file (.vpd). This file can be loaded by V-Producer (p. 91).
Save song
Convert the song into a wave file (.wav or aiff) and save it (p. 91)
Export wave
Convert the song into an SMF (.mid) file and save it. This data (SMF) created by V-Pro-
Export SMF
ducer can be played back in your MIDI sequencer (p. 138).
