Encoding

Depending upon the type of audio material in the sample, it must be processed according

to one of four different encoding algorithms, each of which enables a different set of the

Variphrase features. You are given this choice because certain algorithms are better for

certain jobs. Note: Encoding is non-destructive i.e. the original sample is not overwritten

and can be re-encoded at any time (as long as you do not delete the original wave).

Defining Events

Before encoding, you can set the markers which define individual Events. Think of

Events as snippets within a sample, e.g. the individual hits in a drum loop, the words in

a vocal phrase - whatever you like. Individual Events can be played consecutively or on

fixed keys (C, C#, B etc.) if you choose STEP or EVENT mode in the OSC Type page.

Touch the Encode pad in the SAMPLE TOP page. The V-Synth operating system

automatically analyses samples and inserts Event markers wherever it finds distinct

"beats". The Depth parameter

changing this value. Use the Adjust pads

next, preview the current Event, and delete or add Events using the Del Evt and Add

Evt pads
