7. Sample
The SAMPLE performance eect records a sample of your input audio signal and
processes it with TC-Helicon’s VSS technology to create sample-based MIDI voices.
VSS (Vocal SampleSynthesis) allows you to record anything from bel canto
to beatboxing, then play it back on the keyboard instantly at any pitch, with
the tonal nuance of your performance well intact. SAMPLE works closely with
MORPH, in that Morph styles and modes interact directly with sample playback.
• Hold rec while singing into a connected microphone to record audio for sample playback.
• Play a connected MIDI instrument for pitch-attened sample playback.
• Press MODE to toggle from sample playback to MIDI notes operation.
• Press PLAY to play back the sample as recorded.
Sample Mode
The four sample modes control how the sample is played back in response to MIDI notes:
The four sample modes are combinations of staccato, legato, normal and looped playback characteristics.
• Re-trigger: Each new note triggers the sample from the start.
• Legato: Each new note synchronizes its playback to samples that are already playing.
• Looped: When MIDI notes are held down beyond the end of the sample, it will loop.
Sample yourself saying a short sentence and try the various modes out. Each has something exciting to oer your music making.
Once a sample has been recorded, it will stay in memory until replaced by a new recording, or until you turn o your Perform-VE.
