Transpose - Akai S612 Operator's Manual

TRANSPOSE
The S612 is able to transpose sampled sounds by a half-step in-
terval through to several octaves, so that they can be played at
any desired pitch . The transposition is enabled by the MIDI key-
board . For example, let's transpose the sampled sound up by
one octave.

For example, let's transpose the sampled sound up by one
octave.
Note:
All transpositions are made relative to middle C.
• Listen to the sampled sound of C4. (Middle C)
• Press the KEY TRANS button. The LED indicator will start
blinking.
• To move the pitch of the sound by one octave, press down the
key of MIDI note No. 72 (C5 for AX80). The 8612 does not
produce any sound in this case.
Upon completion of the key-on process, the LED indicator
will stop blinking and stays lit, indicating the completion of
the transposition .
At this time when you press down the key of MIDI note No. 60,
you will get the C5 sound.
The transposition for one octave up has now been completed .
If you wish to transpose to the fifth interval up, press down
the key of MIDI note No. 67 (G4 for AX80) .
When you wish to go back to the original sampled pitch, de-
press the KEY TRANS button wh ile the KEY TRANS LED blink-
ing, the transpose mode will be cancelled .
