Playing Back Samples (SAMPLE MODE)
Playing Back Samples in Scale Pitches (CHROMATIC)
You can play back samples (changing their pitches) as a chromatic scale with the pads.
You canʼt use chromatic mode when the [PATTERN SELECT] button is lit.
Only one sample at a time can produce sound in chromatic mode. Multiple samples canʼt produce sound at the
same time (meaning that chords cannot be played).
Press pads [1]‒[16] to select the sample to use in chromatic mode.
1
Hold down the [SHIFT] button and press the pad [4].
The unit enters chromatic mode.
2
Press pads [1]‒[16].
The pad position corresponds to the key displayed. The sample plays back in the key that matches the
pad you press.
Turn the [VALUE] knob to change the key range.
3
To exit chromatic mode, press the [EXIT] button.
