Sample Mode; Sample Management With The Perform-Ve App - TC-Helicon PERFORM-VE Reference Manual

Sample
To record a sample, press and hold the rec corner button. The SAMPLE button will light up RED while
•
recording is underway. Recording will continue until you release the rec button. The SAMPLE button will
now turn GREEN, indicating the sampler is activated.
• To audition your recorded sample, press the play corner button.
For a real taste of what the sampler can do, provide Perform-VE with MIDI notes from a connected keyboard
controller or note event generator (such as an arpeggiator or sequencer). With 8 voices of polyphony, the
sampler can be used in many different exciting ways, as you'll soon hear!

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, and looped playback characteristics.
Staccato: Each new note triggers the sample from the start.
•
• Legato: Each new note synchronizes its playback to samples that are already playing.
Loop: When MIDI notes are held down beyond the end of the sample, playback will repeat in a loop.
•
The first two sample modes are unlooped, which of course means they stop sounding at the end of the sample.
Sample yourself saying a short sentence and try the various modes out. Each has something exciting to offer
your music making.
Once a sample has been recorded, it will stay in memory until replaced by a new recording, or until you turn off
your Perform-VE.

Sample Management with the Perform-VE App

The Perform-VE App for iOS allows you to back up, manage and restore Perform-VE samples. Please check out
the app for more details. Note: The Android version of the Perform-VE App does not support samples owing to
OS limitations.
The SAMPLE performance effect 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 Sampling Synthesis) 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.
