True Vinayak! Some thing new is always introduced in each AR's track!!! Variphrase Google result: http://www.roland.com/products/en/exp/VariPhrase.html
VariPhrase is the first technology that can liberate a static audio recording, allowing it to be controlled dynamically via MIDI. VariPhrase products have revolutionary capability to make audio "elastic." The secret to elastic audio is the independent control of pitch, time, and formant. This allows audio to be controlled with realtime MIDI messages in a completely non-destructive environment Even more amazing is that all of this can be done without changing the sound quality of the original recording. That's the power of VariPhrase. Independent Formant Manipulation—The Key to VariPhrase Processing. Independent adjustment of audio formant is what allows you with VariPhrase to make a single sample sound natural when played across a wide range of keys. For the purpose of illustration, below are a few examples of how samplers shift formants to different frequency ranges and end-up changing a sound's character: Because conventional samplers shift formant and pitch together, they are unable to convincingly transpose a single sample to other pitches; the result is often a "chipmunk" effect. To compensate for this, users must rely on multisampling—a process that requires not only large amounts of memory, but time, effort and experienced professional technique as well. Solo encoding mode of VariPhrase, however, allows formant and pitch to be controlled independently via MIDI. Therefore, multisampling is no longer necessary to convincingly play a single sample across a range of keys. Users can change a sample's pitch and time without destroying the formant simply by adjusting the Pitch/Time knobs and leaving the Formant knob unchanged. Or, by manipulating only the Formant knob, it is possible to achieve a level of expression never before possible, such as muting a trumpet sound naturally. With VariPhrase technology, musicians can work more efficiently, spending less time sampling and more time making music. Cheers, Madhavan.R Be a Music Fan; not a Music Pirate!
