ARTURIA – Matrix-12 V – USER MANUAL

Reassign: Checks each new note to see if any voice in that Zone is already playing
it. If so, the note will be retriggered using the same voice. If not, it’ll grab the next
higher voice if it’s available.
Reset: Plays the voices assigned to the Zone in numerical order, always starting with
the first voice. If consecutive staccato notes are played it’ll use the first voice each
time; if two legato notes are played it will use the first voice, then the second, and
so on. But when either of those notes ends it’ll start over with the lowest-numbered
available voice.
Uni-Low: The voice(s) will be triggered by the lowest note played in the Zone. If the
note is held and a higher note is played, the voice(s) will stay on the current note; if
a lower note is played, the voice(s) will change to that note. Also known as “low
note priority”.
Uni-High: The voice(s) will be triggered by the highest note played in the Zone. If the
note is held and a lower note is played, the voice(s) will stay on the current note; if
a higher note is played, the voice(s) will change to that note. Also known as “high
note priority”.
Uni-Last: A combination of high and low note priority: The voice(s) will be triggered
by the last note played in the Zone, whether it is above or below the previous note.
V. steal: Voice stealing helps maximize the voice allocation within a Zone. For
example, if five voices have been assigned to a Zone and all five notes are playing,
what happens if a sixth note is played?
Ordinarily, nothing: the sixth note is ignored. But with V. steal enabled, the first note
that was played is “stolen” and made available to the sixth note. So on the plus side,
V. steal means every note played within the Zone will be heard. However, the
downside is that if the Voice has a long release time, then after a note is released it
is at risk of being cut off abruptly if a new note arrives.
Low: Click and drag the value to set the lower MIDI note range for the Zone.
High: Click and drag the value to set the higher MIDI note range for the Zone.

Vibrato (VIB)
The VIB section provides a modulation source that is sort of like having an “LFO #6”.
However, it doesn’t have as many options available as LFOs 1-5.
Here are the LFO features that are missing from VIB:
One less waveform: Sample & Hold is not available
No Retrig setting: the VIB waveform always starts from the beginning when
triggered
Single trigger only: no Multiple trigger setting or “freerun” capability
No Mod buttons: VIB parameters are not available as destinations on the
Modulation Page.
Now let’s focus on the positive! Here’s what the VIB section does provide:
