The TASCAM CD-VT2 Portable CD Vocal Trainer gives singers and instrumentalists like woodwind, brass, and string players the ability to slow down the speed of a CD without changing the pitch—allowing artists, musicians, students, and music teachers to practice, learn and teach vocal harmonies, fast rap passages and complex melodies from their favorite music.

The CD-VT2 vocal/instrument trainer features an all new improved ultra compact design, comprehensive LCD display with graphical user interface, album title/track title indication by CD-text, expanded effect banks for user preset, chromatic tuner, and TASCAM'S pioneering VSA (Variable Speed Audition, pitch control without affecting key) feature lets you learn from a continuous mix of their favorite songs anywhere you go.

Features include integrated pitch and key control, vocal canceller with selectable canceling pan point and selectable frequency range, and seamless integration with CD-DA/CD-R/CD-RW disc playback. You can now discover the performance you favorite artist really played.
