Well the old man of the forum really enjoys this unit. I am making some great tracks, well at least in my opinion. The sampling is fantastic and I can chop really well thanks to help from the forum. This is a great unit. Now I have to get into pitching samples that are not in the same key. I am assuming this can be done fairly easy. I am moving on to figure that out.

Just wanted to say thanks to everyone who has provided guidance to me.

You have a few options when it come to piching samples.

One you can go to MODE+PROGRAM and SAMPLE and Tune it there.

But even better if you want to tune b4 you chop you go to MODE+TRIM find you sample then hit WINDOW on the sample name and pitch it up or down there.
I Like that was since it will remember the pitch changes when you chop it.


You can also PITCH shift the sample In MODE+ TRim+EDIT.

Hey PJ, glad you're having fun with your 5K - I had a feeling you'd get on with it more than you did with that MV that you demo'd initially - you made a good choice in the end my bro!
