Arturia CS-80V User Manual page 48

There are 6 polyphonic voice modes possible:
CsAssign: This mode of voice control is identical to the original CS-80. The zone plays a
voice randomly among the voices that have been affected to it. The portamento (or the
glissando) is reinitialized when the time between the arrival of this note and the release
of the previous note exceeds a certain value (in the area of 170 ms). Thus, in the case of
chords, all of the voices will start their portamento (or glissando) from the same note.
Rotate: The polyphonic voices are used in a rotating assignment. The zone uses the next
free available voice. When the last voice is reached, then the zone takes the newest note
played by releasing the first one.
Reset: The polyphonic voices are played in order by their number. The zone uses the
first free available voice, beginning with the lowest one.
ReAssign: When a new polyphonic voice is chosen, the zone uses the voice which has
just played the same note.
UniLow: Unison with priority to the lowest note. This means that if two notes are
presented at the same time it is the lowest note that is played.
UniHigh: Unison with priority to the high note. This means that if two notes are
presented at the same time it is the highest note that is played.
UniLast: Unison with priority to the last note played. The newest note is prioritized.
The «VOICE ARP» button allows you to accept or not accept the use of the arpeggiator on
this zone, independently of the others.
The arpeggiator possesses one setting for all zones, but each zone uses the arpeggiator
independently. This means that each zone can choose to activate the arpeggiator (or
not), and when a note is present in two zones, the arpeggios remain independent.
Control of polyphonic voices
For each voice, you need to choose the zone by clicking on the «ZONE» display. The
«OFF» position lets you deactivate a particular voice (it is possible to limit the
polyphony).
Once the zone has been chosen, the sound (or single) that the voice will use needs to be
selected. By clicking on the «SINGLE PATCH» display, we can select one of the singles of
the current preset or a new single. For a given preset, there can be up to 8 singles (one
per voice).
It is important to note that the choice of zones and the choice of sounds are
independent. Two zones can manage cards using the same sound, and one zone can
manage voices with different sounds.
The «ACTIVE» indicator shows the polyphonic voices that are currently active.
Four knobs set (for each voice) the range (+/- two octaves, by semi-tone), fine tune (+/-
a semi-tone), volume and the position in the stereo field (pan).
In this section it is also possible for each voice to use or not to use the portamento (or
glissando), the ring modulator or the effects (chorus and delay) with the
«PORTA», «R.MOD» or «FX» buttons.
