![]() However, such immediacy and flexibility comes at a price. The Roland VP9000, reviewed in last month's SOS, arguably shows the way this technology is going, allowing radical modification of what were once the fixed constants of audio - including the formant frequencies which give a sound its identity - easily and in real time. Even musicians who don't use them to create overtly artificial effects employ pitch and time manipulation in a corrective fashion, or to make the disparate rhythm and instrumental loops that form a part of so many modern recordings work as though they were meant to be together. Pitch‑shifting and time‑stretching have become the common currency of contemporary technology‑based music. ![]() Derek Johnson and Debbie Poyser do just that, with Prosoniq's Time Factory. Many musicians will therefore continue to rely on off‑line processes to carry out pitch and timing manipulations. Though high‑quality, real‑time pitch‑shifting is now becoming a reality, this technology comes with a high price tag.
