It offers extensive control over vocal samples and effects, including sample editing and sequencing.

• Detailed sample editing: adjust start/end points, playback direction and speed, pitch, formant, attack, release, pan, volume, and choke groups.
• Phrase Player sequencing with sample playback patterns, curve editing for pitch, velocity, filters, effects modulation, and traditional arpeggiator functions like rate, swing, latching.
• Effects chain with proprietary delay, reverb (plate, hall, spring modes), and modulation (chorus, vibrato, flanger) modules, fully programmable and rearrangeable.

How It Works

Users select a key signature and sound bank, then trigger vocal phrases using MIDI keyboard, where white keys play samples and black keys modify playback properties and trigger custom sequences or effects. The integrated phrase sequencer allows complex modulation and sample pattern creation.

• macOS: 10.15 or higher, Intel and Apple Silicon supported.
• Windows: Windows 7 or higher, 32-bit and 64-bit compatible.
