VariOS

开放式音源系统

VariOS
停 产

VariOS是一款开放式系统的硬件/软件系统,可以让音乐家创建象MIDI音轨那样弹性的音频轨道!所有的处理由VariOS音源模块进行,然后捆绑软件进行控制。而第一次捆绑的软件为V制作人(V-Producer)。这款软件可以同时处理采样的音高、时长、共振峰以及效果,但更重要的是,它不占用CPU资源,保证绝对的流畅性。另一方面,你还可以通过PC卡来对VariOS音源进行升级,这样你可以保证系统在将来的全新的功能。

  • 包括VariOS音源和VariOS软件新V-Producer技术的完全开放式实时音频处理系统
  • 6个声部多音色操作,同时播放达14个乐句
  • 内存可以保持达300秒的单声道音频数据(立体声为150秒)
  • 获得大奖的VariPhrase技术,可进行直观的高音、时长和共振峰的实时操作——控制音频就像控制MIDI的感觉那样!
  • 通过USB从电脑中批量导入/自动编码WAV/AIFF音频文件
  • 方便简单的采样编排拖拽功能——几分钟之内搞定一首歌
  • 乐句浏览窗口提供乐句旋律内容自由的编辑形式
  • Groovescope窗口可以进行非破坏性的节奏循环重建
  • 图示化编辑VariOS音源的40个综合效果,8个合唱和9个混响
  • VariOS的V-Producer支持MIDI时钟/MTC同步和音频/SMF导出
  • 内建闪存和PC卡可保存用户采样,做独立音源用途
  • 完全开放的设计可以在未来对软件进行升级

The Power of VariPhrase in Your PC

Imagine having a software program that allows you to build complete audio-based productions in real time without draining your computer’s processor. That’s the idea behind VariOS. This open-architecture system combines intuitive V-Producer for VariOS software with a 1U hardware module to create the most powerful audio production system ever conceived. Create complete 6-part audio arrangements while freely manipulating pitch, time and formant. VariOS also comes with separate reverb, chorus and multi-effects so you can process and mix your samples in a plug-in like environment. A simple USB connection is all it takes to be up and running.

Easy Audio Encoding and Arranging

Building a song with VariOS is a simple process. First, browse your computer hard drive for .WAV and AIFF files. V-Producer can then quickly and automatically batch encode the data and transfer it via USB to the module. Once encoded and transferred, you can arrange tracks in V-Producer using simple drag-and-drop commands. Best of all, any audio file can be made to work with another, since VariPhrase permits independent manipulation of pitch, time and formant without unwanted artifacts.

Twist Your Loops with GrooveScope

V-Producer’s GrooveScope window takes reconstructing audio loops to new extremes. First, GrooveScope analyzes the audio and time-slices it into separate events. But here’s where things get really interesting: Not only can these events be re-arranged to create new loops, but each event’s pitch and time can be manipulated graphically without altering the original sound quality. All editing is non-destructive, so you’re free to experiment as much as you please—all in real time. And if you prefer tweaking with knobs rather than a mouse, just twist the VariOS module’s dedicated controls while scanning the audio loop, and V-Producer will faithfully capture all your moves.
