Legato Mode; Param Eq And Compressor - Arturia VOCODER V User Manual

5.4.7. Legato Mode

The Legato control is global for all samples that are loaded in the Sample Player.
In Cycle mode with Legato active, the current sample will continue playing, even if you play
new notes—as long as at least one other note is being held down when you play the new
note. The new notes will still change the Carrier's pitch. With Legato disabled, any new note-
on triggers the next sample.
In Keyboard mode, playing legato is irrelevant if you're triggering samples only from the
reserved octave of notes. However, it does matter in the following situations.
• If no reserved octave notes or synthesizer notes are held, a new synth note will retrigger
the last played sample from the start. • When holding a reserved note, playing new
synthesizer notes will retrigger the sample if Legato is off. If Legato is on, the sample will
continue playing. • If a sample has not played all the way through and you release the note
triggering it, the sample will continue playing to the end as long as synthesizer keys are held
down and Legato is on. If Legato is off, playing new notes will retrigger the sample.

5.5. Param EQ and Compressor

These effects can help optimize the Voice Input or Sample Player signal before it goes to the
vocoder section. The settings are the same regardless of which input is chosen.
The EQ is the same as the Param EQ in the Effects section, except that it doesn't have a
Wet/Dry control.
The Compressor has a single slider control. Moving the slider to the right increases
compression, while moving the slider to the left lowers compression. Automatic makeup
gain compensates to keep a constant output level, regardless of the amount of compression
used.
The EQ is before the compressor, so if you add extreme EQ settings, the compressor can
keep them under control.
