Vocal Phrases You Can Play and Sequence

The instrument is organized into eight sample banks with 14 sample keys, giving 112 vocal phrases. White keys trigger samples and loops, while black keys change playback speed and tuning and trigger custom sequences and effect modulation. Samples sync to the host BPM, and key selection keeps the material in tune with your project.

The Phrase Player sequences sample playback and can also modulate the delay, reverb, modulation, lo-cut and hi-cut effects, along with pitch and volume. Rate, latch and swing controls are included for arpeggiator-style patterns.

Macros, Effects and the Edit Page

Four macro controls named Warmer, Speaker, Doubler and Ethereal handle immediate processing. Five main FX parameters cover reverb, delay, modulation, lo-cut and hi-cut, and a global bypass switches the processing off.

The Edit page offers more detailed control, including sample start and end points, playback direction and modes, choke groups, pitch, fine tuning, formant control and attack and release. Five factory modifiers (half-time, double-time, reverse, octave down and octave up) and five custom modifiers are available for sample changes.
