>From what i saw, it's essentially a sampler, with real time controls over pitch, timestretch, and other goodies. Some examples they were showing at the show included: Taking a drum loop, you can adjust the quantizing in real time, altering the loop's "groove", as they call it. (Imagine using this on textural, non-rythmic samples/loops?) On a vocal phrase, your singer misses the last word of the phrase and goes flat. Well, with the VP-9000, you can just adjust the pitch of the last word up and all is well. The VP can assemble multiple samples in different tempos and pitches into a coherent piece, in real time. Also, intelligent harmonies can be done. On board effects. Like I said, the demonstrators were just doing their thing by rote, so the setup involved with the VP to do what they were demo'ing might be more complicated than they indicated...but nonetheless, a very interesting tool. If there is some looping function, where once you capture the sample, it would start playing, and then you could do the VP magic in real time.
