What is encoding?
In order use VariPhrase to freely control the pitch or time, the sample must be encoded in order to
extract its pitch/time/formant data.
There are three encoding types. Choose the encoding type that is most suitable for each phrase.
SOLO
This type accurately extracts the pitch, time, and formant data. This encoding type is ideal for single-
note and melodic audio phrases such as vocals or sax, and lets you take full advantage of VariPhrase's
potential. If you use this encoding type, you will be able to control the formants and use the robot voice
function (refer to "Sample Edit" p. 62). Even if you encode using SOLO, you will still be able to play
polyphonically.
BACKING
This type extracts pitch and time data. It is the ideal encoding type for percussive phrases, such as
drum or percussion rhythm patterns.
ENSEMBLE
This type extracts pitch and time data. It is the ideal encoding type for chordal phrases with ambience.
The pitch and time data that is extracted is simply added to the audio file, and the wave data itself is
not processed in any way; i.e., this is a non-destructive process. This means that you can later re-
encode using a different encoding type, or re-edit the wave.
