Changing Bpm For Every Pad (Auto Sync Advanced Steps) - Zoom Sampletrak ST-224 Operation Manual

Changing BPM for Every Pad (Auto Sync Advanced Steps)

As explained in the previous section, the ST-224 regards the length of a sample assigned to a pad as 4
beats, and automatically calculates the BPM value for that pad. However, sometimes it may be desirable
to synchronize phrases or patterns with a different beat pattern (such as combining a 4-beat bass pattern
with an 8-beat drum pattern or a 2-beat sequencer pattern). In such a case, the BPM of a pad must be set
to the actual value before using the auto sync function. Proceed as described below to change the BPM of
a pad.

STEP
Hold down the pad whose BPM you want to change, and press the [BPM] key.
The automatically calculated BPM value appears on the display.
The range of BPM values allowed by the ST-224 is 40 - 250. If the
NOTE
calculated BPM value is outside of this range, it is multiplied or
divided by 2 until it fits in the range.
While the BPM value is being shown, use the [-] [+] keys to set the actual BPM value of
2
STEP
the phrase.
Each push of the [-] or [+] key changes the setting within the
allowable range. For example, if the current setting is 120, the setting
cycles as follows: 120 (4 beats)
Choose the setting that corresponds to the number of beats in the
current sample.
