ive recently bought the blue box and i think ive pretty much sussed it.

but

i need to know the freq. of the notes so i can play basslines. i have everything tuned to C but have no clue to where to tune them to to get other notes.

in program mode C is at +00.00 on my mpc as i tuned the basses to C before putting them on the flash card.

ive seen a chart somwhere but cant find it anymore.

please help me !!

peace

i think, someone correct me if im wrong, but +01.00 equals to up a semitone, so to tune up or down add or subtract as many tones (equal to 2 semitones) as you need.

that any help?

I don't know what kind of chart yer after but put the same sample accross 16 pads then leave pad one at 00.00 and turn pitch of the other pads up in increments of 1 eg 01.00, 02.00, 03.00 up to 16.00

Then you've got an 16 notes chromatically. Obviously by using banks B,C and D as well you could have 64 notes. Know what I mean?

The tune parameter in sample screen (pgm mode) is expressed in cents :
1.0=100 cents = 1 semitone.
Note that the note parameters (note screen) are for midi purpose, changing them won't affect the actual sound of your sample.
As for the chart here is one : http://www.borg.com/~jglatt/tutr/notefreq.htm , there are plenty more. You can also use the last calculator on this page : http://mp3.deepsound.net/eng/samples_calculs.php
