Setting the Right Playback Type
Things are slowly beginning to take shape. But we're not finished yet. There are still some pads
that aren't playing right, or don't seem to be triggering like they should. This is where we will
turn to Type mode, where we can determine whether or not a Sample is set to One-shot or
Loop mode, gated or latched, and synced (with the rest of the Remix Deck) or not. With the
Type mode, you can determine how your Samples play back and behave when triggered. One of
the sub-modes in Type mode is Sync Type. Let's see how to check that:
Checking for Sync
1.
Press the TYPE (PITCH) button.
2.
Turn the encoder knob until the display reads "SY."
The button begins to blink and the pads all turn orange, except for one (pad A3). Here
you can see that pad A3 does not have sync engaged because it is white and not orange
like the other pads.
3.
Now press the pad to toggle Sync on, so that the pad is synced with the Deck's tempo and
internal timeline.
4.
Press the TYPE (PITCH) button again to exit Type mode.
The effect of having a pad's sync on or off depends on both the nature of the Sample and
the Deck's tempo. In general, you'll probably want to have this on, although in some cases
— maybe with Samples in One-shot mode without rhythmic content — you might want to
toggle it off.
Playback Trigger Type
Now let's see how the third row is sounding:
1.
Make sure you are on page two (P2) of the Sample Grid.
2.
Press all four pads in the third row of the second page. Notice that the Sample on pad C3
doesn't continue to play after releasing the pad.
3.
Press and release the TYPE (PITCH) button, which starts flashing.
