Easy to Learn and Use
If you can operate a CD player, you can use the CD-VT1MKII. Take any standard compact disc and put it in the CD mechanism. Then plug a microphone (or two) directly into the CD-VT1MKII's 1/4" inputs. Put on some headphones, set the volume and you are ready to go. Although labelled a vocal trainer, the reviews at instrumentpro. com state that many instrumentalists have also found the VTmk2 to be a very useful practice aid.

Speed it up or Slow it Down
With the CD-VT MKII, 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. 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).

Metronome and Chromatic Tuner
The CD-VT1 MKII also provides a chromatic tuner and a metronome.

Effects
TheThe CD-VT1mkII has 18 great-sounding built-in customizable 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-VT MKII...it will play the same section of music over and over again so you can focus on your playing. Use the footswitch input to start and stop the CD, or to scroll through effects. . You can listen to the CD-VT1mkII via headphones, or use its Line Output to plug in speakers.
