Assigning a Sample to a Major Scale

Sometimes it may be useful to assign the same sample to several pads and play the pads with changed pitch (such as when a single bass note was sampled). The ST-224 can automatically assign one sample to pads 1 - 8 and change the pad tuning using a Major scale.

STEP 4

Use the [BANK 1] - [BANK 3] keys to select the bank to which you want to assign the sample.

STEP 5

Use pads 1 - 8 to select the pad to which the sample should be assigned with the original pitch.

STEP 6

To activate the automatic assignment process, press the [PAD ASSIGN] key again.

 

The sample selected in step 1 is assigned to all pads 1 - 8, and the

PAD ASSIGN

 

 

 

 

pad tuning is automatically changed using a Major scale, using pad 1

 

 

 

as the prime. For example, if the original pitch was middle C, the

 

 

 

tuning for the various pads, depending on the pad chosen in step 5,

 

 

 

will be as follows.

NOTE

HINT

If the selected bank already contains pads with samples, these will be erased.

•When wishing to cancel the automatic assignment process, press the [EXIT] key.

•When wishing to use a different scale, edit the TUNING parameter for each pad in step 6 ( ➔ p. 32).
