(Trial
2:
Tempo
and
Pitch)
As
stated
previously
in
"Trial
1
"
we
used
the
sample
in
bank
8
from
"ALLS"
file.
The
other
banks
1
~7
are
set
with
the
same program number
to
use
them
as
a
single
program, and
individual
key
ranges
to
play
each sample with
the
corresponding
key.

Other parameter
settings
for
banks
1-7:
PROG.
NO.;
1,
MID!
CHANNEL;
ON,
CONSTANT
PITCH;
ON.
Each bank
will
receive
data
on
all
MIDI channels 1-16
(OMNI ON)
so
that
it
is
not
required
to
set
your MIDI keyboard's channel.
With
the
above
settings,
you can
use
them,
for
example, by
freely
playing
samples of banks
3-7
during
repeated play of a
sample
of
the
bank
1
or
2.
First try
playing
back each
individual
sample.
a)
Constant
Pitch
In
this
program
all
the
banks 1-7 have been
set
to the
CONSTANT
PITCH:
ON. As
explained
before,
when
this
parameter has been
set
to
ON,
the
sample
will
be reproduced
at
a fixed
pitch
whatever
MIDI
note
number
the
bank
receives.
If
you wish
the
sample reproduced
at
the original
pitch
by
triggering
any key
on
the
keyboard,
you can do
it
by
setting that
parameter
to
ON
and
not
setting
the
key
range
or
transposition,
etc.
Try
cancelling the constant pitch of a
sample
in
any
bank
of
1
~7
.
If
y
ou
play the
same
key
,
you
can
play
the
sample
at
different pitches.
One
more
thing
to
remember
is
that
with the
CONSTANT
PITCH
set
to
ON
the original pitch
can
be changed with
the
TRANSPOSE
and
SAMPLE
TUNE.
This modified
pitch
is
reproduced
when
the
bank key
is
pressed.
b)
A
Phras©
Loop
with
a
Specific
Tempo
The
sample
in
bank
1
has
made
of one-bar
rhythm
pattern
at
the
tempo
of
1
20
(
1
20
beats per
minute)
and
looped with
the
LOOP/ONE SHOT
ON.
In
making
this
kind of
loop,
first
you must
make
sure
to
adjust the length precisely.
If
this
is
not done,
it
is
impossible
to
maintain a constant
tempo. For
those
cases,
this
manual
provides
"Tempo-to-
Sample
Point
Conversion Table" on page
54, 55.
When
making
a
loop
at
a
tempo
of
120,
first
refer to
the table
and
find the
tempo
of
120,
then
the
corresponding
sample
point (=bar
length):
64,000.
This value
is
for the
loop
point.
Also, a
calculation
by
adding
the
start
point value to the
sample
point value (64,000)
should be
set
as the
end
point
value. In other
words,
the
sample from
start
to
end
will
be
exactly 64,000.
Through
these operations,
you
can
make
a loop
at
the
tempo
of
120.
c)
Matching
Different
Tempos
of
Samples
When
playing together
several
samples with
individually specific
tempos,
it
is
advisable
to
use
"Tempo-
to-TRANSPOSE/SAMPLE
TUNE
Conversion Table"
provided
on page
56, 57.
For example,
the
sample
in
bank 2
is
made
of one-bar
rhythm
pattern
at
a
tempo
of
130.
If
you wish
it
played
at
a
tempo
of
1
20,
first
refer to that table
and
find the
tempo
of
1
30
across the
center.
Then
down
the
offset
value
listed
in
the
left
most column
,
find "--10"
(because
the
required
tempo
120
is
calculated
adding
offset
value
to original
tempo:
(130-10=120)
"-1/-39").
These
two
values
should
be
respectively
assigned
to
the
TRANSPOSE
and
TUNE
parameters.
That
is,
the
sample
in
bank
2 can be
reprodr-ed
at
the
tempo
of 120,
if
the
TRANSPOSE
is
set
to
-1
,
and
the
TUNE
set
to
-39.
*
After
the
sample
is
set
at
another
tempo
in
this
way,
of
course
since the
pitch
has been
altered,
there
will
be a
small difference
in
the tuning
from
the
original
one.
