Thank you for visiting my listing!
Up for sale is the legendary Roland VP-9000 VariPhrase Processor. Equipped with Roland's groundbreaking VariPhrase technology, this rackmount hardware sampler allows you to independently control and manipulate PITCH, TIME, and FORMANT/GROOVE in real time without affecting one another. It remains an absolute cult-classic weapon in the studio for vocal chopping, advanced sound design, and unique phrase manipulation that software plugins still struggle to replicate perfectly.
Fully Functional: The unit has been thoroughly tested. All knobs, macro encoders, liquid crystal display, audio inputs/outputs, and internal core systems operate smoothly and flawlessly.
Cosmetics: This is a vintage electronic instrument. It shows minor surface scratches, standard rack-ear mounting marks, and gentle signs of previous studio use, but there are no major damages or structural cracks. It has been well-preserved and remains in great aesthetic shape for its age. Please inspect all high-resolution photos carefully to judge the overall physical state.
