Playback Mode - Arturia VOCODER V User Manual

5.3.2. Playback Mode

Individual samples play back using one of two modes, Keyboard or Cycle. Only one sample
playback mode can be active at a time.
5.3.2.1. Keyboard Mode
This mode reserves the lowest keyboard octave (starting with C1) to trigger samples instead
of triggering synthesizer notes. The other keys trigger the synthesizer (carrier) as usual.
Each sample is assigned to a note, with a colored dot above the key corresponding to the
sample's color coding. Note in the two images above how the colored dots on the keyboard
correspond to the sample colors.
To trigger a sample, play the corresponding note. Then, use the other octaves to impart pitch
to the sample that's playing back. A progress indicator inside the cell shows how much of
the cell has played back. As long as the sample remains triggered (i.e., you haven't triggered
a new sample with the lowest octave keys), if you play new notes before the sample has
stopped playing, playback restarts at the beginning of the sample.
