16 Pads / Pitch

I was just wondering about the 16 pads function. If you your base note is a C... can someone tell me the notes that will appear on the next 15 pads? or where I can find this info? I'm just curious.

just go to the midi screen and then go to notes and set up the pads in numerical order 36 (C 1), 37 (C# 1), 38 (D 1), and so on.

do this from the bottom left to coincide with pad 1.

If I put a sample with the key of E on pad 4...what key is on pad 5? What is it when the machine does it automatically? I don't care to do it manually since it will be different everytime depending on the key of the original sample.

Ex: If I put a sample with the key of E on pad 4...what key is on pad 5?

Well, on pad 5 it would be up a half step, so that would make it F since E to F is a half step (imagine a piano keyboard). But don't forget it also depends on what you set the "Original Key Pad" field to when you turned on 16 levels.

4 is generally the regular sample pitch by default on the 1000. Ok, so it is really chromatic ie follows a piano?

Yes... the definition of chromatic is half-step increments. A chromatic scale is all half steps as opposed to a major scale which goes like this:

Whole step,Whole step, Half Step, Whole step, Whole step, Whole Step, Half Step.

You can start on any note and apply this formula and you will have a MAJOR scale. There are a number of different formulas/scales such as minor, minor7, etc. etc. They all have basic formulas similar to the 1 above.
