Use Keys to Play Pitch Shifted WAV Files

The Keys screen provides an alternative way for you to play WAV files that have been configured on the PADS screen. When
you select a sample or clip pad to play with Keys, blackbox will pitch shift the sample. The native sample will play with
middle C, 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, blackbox will map the slices in the pad to the notes on the keyboard.

To Play a Clip or Sample Pad With Keys:

1. Push PADS to view the sample bank.
2. Touch a pad or turn a knob to select the desired pad. The pad will be pink when
selected.
3. Push KEYS to view the Keys screen. Touch the keys on the screen to play notes.
4. Touch the arrow buttons at the top of the screen or turn a knob to scroll left or
right one note or one octave. The current octave label is displayed on each C
note.

To Play Slices With Keys:

You can use the Keys screen to trigger individual slices within a pad. Here is a basic example of how to do this:
1. Create a slicer pad and create 4 or more slices by either using the Scan feature or manually creating the slices.
2. Set the following values for the pad parameters:
Parameter
LaunchMode
Loop Mode
Slice
Slice Seq
3. Push KEYS to go to the Keys screen.
4. Play C2 on the Keys screen. You will hear that slice 1 is played.
5. Play D#2 and slice 4 will be played. Keys C2 and up are now mapped to Slices 1 and up for playback.
The steps above show a simple example of using Keys alone to trigger different slices within one pad. You can use this with
Loop Mode ON with Launch Modes of Gate or Toggle to achieve different effects. You could also use this with Slice Seq if
you wanted to have the Slice Seq control what slices play when a pad trigger is received.

Explanation
This will cause the WAV slice to play from beginning to end
when a trigger is received. Other values will work, but let's
use this for the example.
We will turn off looping for this example.
This doesn't impact how the Keys screen plays the slices.
We will not use the Slice Sequencer in this example.
