PLAYING NOTES
The Keys screens allow you to play samples pitch shifted chromatically, or to trigger slices in
a WAV. When you select a single sample or clip pad to play with Keys, tangerine will play
the WAV file for that pad pitch-shifted based on the triggered note. The sample will play at
its original pitch when you play the root note, and it will shift up or down the appropriate
number of semitones based on the note you play. When you select a slicer pad to play with
Keys, tangerine will map the slices in the pad to the notes on the keyboard. When you use a
multi-sample pad with Keys, it will play the sample that has the root note closest to the
played note and then pitch shift as needed.
There are two Keys input modes: standard black and white keyboard, and the grid. Push
the Home button from the Pads Home screen to display a traditional black and white
keyboard. Push the Left or Right Arrow button to toggle between this screen and the Grid
keyboard. The Grid Keyboard allows you to play notes that are always in key. Each row in the
grid corresponds to one octave. You can choose the key (Root Note) and scale.
