If you are learning an instrument or need to cover someone else's song, the U400 'Riff-O-Matic' Phrase Trainer is such a unique and indispenable tool, you'll wonder how you managed without it!
The Riff-O-Matic allows you to digitally record a phrase and slow it down or loop it but without changing the pitch making it the perfect tool for learning a hot guitar part or sax solo from a CD or transcribing a complex jazz solo.
The Riff-O-Matic takes advantage of Akai's advanced Digital Signal Processing (DSP) and timestretching technology to let you digitally sample any musical phrase (up to 35.7 seconds) and then slow it down but.....
Without changing its pitch - half-speed, same pitch!
With the Riff-O-Matic, you can slow a riff down to half speed and still practice along at the original pitch. As you learn it, speed it up to 2/3 speed and then back to full tempo, all at the same pitch.
And for figuring out those really blistering solos, the Riff-O-Matic's 'Note Grabber' function lets you step through a recording one note at a time. Transcription has never been easier!
