Easy to Learn and Use

If you can operate a CD player you can use the CD-VT1 MKII. Take any standard compact disc by your favourite band and put it in the CD mechanism. Then plug a microphone (or two) directly into the CD-VT1 MKII's 6.3-mm jack inputs. Put on some headphones set the volume and start rocking!

The new MKII version includes an enhanced Vocal Canceller that lets you select the cancellation point in the Left-Right stereo pan and also lets you select just midrange or full cancellation. It also adds more Variable Speed options built-in metronome split monitoring and a host of other cool new features.

Slow Down and Learn with Slow Speed Audition feature

In ancient times (like the 1970s) musicians would take a vinyl LP record and manually spin the record on a turntable slowing it down to be able to better hear and understand the performances like fast rap passages and complex chord changes. With the CD-VT1 MKII you get a training method that's even better. Not only can you slow down the speed of the CD by up to 50% but you can do it without changing the pitch of the original material! After you learn the song at a slow speed you can increase the tempo in steps until you can match the original performance note for note. Also you can change the pitch of the CD without changing the speed...use this feature to tune the CD to your instrument or vocal range.

Effect Yourself

The CD-VT1 MKII has 18 great-sounding built-in customisable effects...you don't need to turn to external boxes for reverb echo and more. The Voice Changer effect pitches the input up or down one octave and the Vocal Canceller eliminates the original vocal so you can sing along.

Performance Tools

You can set seamless in-out loop points with the CD-VT1 MKII...it will play the same section of music over and over again so you can focus on your playing. Use the foot switch input to start and stop the CD or to scroll through effects. The CD-VT1 MKII even provides a chromatic tuner so you always sound great when you play and can run on batteries to take your show on the road. You can listen to the CD-VT1 MKII via headphones or use its Line Output to plug in powered speakers.
