ROLAND VariOS OPEN SYSTEM MODULE

Massive New Updates for VariOS!
V-Producer OSX, Modeling Synths and More

* NEW * VariOS-8 and VariOS 303 now with OS X Support!
If you’re a VariOS owner, proceed immediately to the Downloads tab. There you’ll find not only the latest USB drivers and V-Producer 2.1 (with OSX support), but also the new VariOS-8 and VariOS 303 modeling synths. Turn your VariOS module into a virtual Juno/Jupiter synth and TB-303!

VariOS Tips
Packed with techniques for taking advantage of the VariOS in actual music production situations. VariOS is an open-ended hardware/software system that can be customized for different needs. With the bundled V-Producer software, users can create audio-based arrangements while independently manipulating pitch, time and formant. Load the included VariOS-8 and VariOS 303 software, and VariOS can emulate some of Roland’s most popular vintage synths—complete with an impressive array of effects. And since the VariOS module handles all processing, there is no drain on the host computer’s CPU.

Features

  • Open-ended hardware/software bundle consisting of VariOS module and downloadable control software for Mac or PC
  • Now includes three software bundles: V-Producer, VariOS-8 and VariOS 303
  • V-Producer offers realtime audio manipulation/construction using VariPhrase*
  • VariOS-8 emulates vintage Juno and Jupiter polysynths with intuitive onscreen editing
  • VariOS 303 emulates TB-303 bass sounds with step sequencing and “Slides”
  • High-quality effects included for each software application; zero CPU drain
  • Connect VariOS to your computer via USB or use it as a stand-alone module
  • More VariOS applications to be announced

    *VariPhrase technology patent pending.

Professional Service, Great Value & Product Knowledge
Over the past 30 years, I have always found the staff at Bava's Music to be Professional, Competitive & Knowledgeable. On a personal level, as a performer, and a professional level, as an educator, I have always experienced honest advice, quality products and a valued friendship. I can honestly recommend Bava's Music as a leader in the Music Retail Industry. Try them, you won't be disappointed ... I'm still shopping there!

Quick, efficient, good value
Telephoned in the middle of the week about a particular Behringer mixer/effects unit. Bava's immediately quoted a good price and said they had it in stock. I told them I'd be in on the weekend to pick it up. When I came in they had it waiting ready to go. Service was quick and efficient. Their prices are good. The selection covers almost everything professionals are looking for. Staff is knowledgable and turned on. I'm definitely coming back!

Mr
I needed a Zoom H4n to record from a hydrophone and came across Bava music website. Price was competitive so I rang to check if they had the recorder in stock. Nick was friendly and helpful. The recorder was delivered (to rural NSW) 3 business days later. That's good enough for me!

Mr
I have bought from Bavas twice now for EV speakers (foldback, FOH and subs) and microphones. I have found their service to be excellent and their prices are great. We had problems with one of our FOH speakers and Nick had a replacement to our church in record time - it was no hassle at all. I would recommend these guys and I do not even bother to shop around anymore because you wont get a better deal. I would add that Nick is a great salesman in the sense that he knows his products, gets a good feel for what you are after, puts together a good package (without over selling), has it delivered promptly and provides good support. He will also work hard with suppliers to get you the best price he can offer. Keep up the good work guys it's a pleasure doing business with you.
