2.1.1. Stand-Alone and Plug-In Modes
Stand-alone mode is available with both Windows and MacOS. Only one Vocoder V instance
can be open at a time in stand-alone mode.
As a plug-in, Vocoder V is compatible within most 64-bit DAWs as an Audio Unit, AAX, VST
2.4, or VST3 instrument. With DAWs that cannot route audio to virtual instrument plug-ins,
Vocoder V’s Sampler Player is available, but not its real-time live input feature (see section
2.3.2.1 for supported DAWs).
2.2. Activate the Vocoder V License
After installing Vocoder V, please activate your software license using the Arturia Software
Center program. If it’s already installed, skip to section 2.2.2.
2.2.1. Installing the Arturia Software Center (ASC)
Go to the web page Arturia Downloads and Manuals at https://www.arturia.com/support/
downloads&manuals
After locating the Arturia Software Center at the top of the downloads list, download the
installer that’s compatible with your operating system (Windows or macOS), and then
follow the installation instructions.
2.2.2. Activating Vocoder V
Launch the Arturia Software Center (ASC), and log into your Arturia account. Scroll down to
the My Products section, and then click the Vocode V Activate button.
Now you’re ready to add fantastic vocoder effects—and more!—to your music.
