Leapfrog Audio Releases Rephrase

Leapfrog rephraseLeapfrog Audio has released Rephrase, a powerful audio phrase editing virtual instrument.

Using Rephrase, audio tracks become instruments in their own right. Rephrase imports monophonic audio phrases and automatically splits them into notes for playback via MIDI. Export the MIDI into your host for editing and let Rephrase play it back with all your pitch, timing and phrasing changes.

Rephrase is powered by a high quality Resynthesis engine, allowing free control over pitch, time, volume, formant, partial tuning etc.. Pitch changes in Rephrase use formant preservation, meaning phrases sound authentic up and down the scale.

Features:

  • Import monophonic .WAV files, separating time and pitch

  • Automatic (adjustable) note-detection
  • Midi Export of phrase notes, including pitchbend and drag n drop support
