Pad Play Mode Operation
The corresponding LED lights up.
While the pad is pressed, its LED is lit and the sample assigned to the
pad is played from start to end. Playback of the sample then stops.
(This is called "one-shot playback".)
• The default operation mode is "gate playback" where the
sample is only played for as long as the pad is held down. The
mode can be changed to the trigger (or retrigger) mode as
described on page 33, some of factory preset sounds are set in
this mode.
• While a pad is being pushed, the bank cannot be switched. To
switch banks without sound interruption, choose loop playback
in step 3.
The sample will then be played repeatedly in a continuous loop.
(This is called "loop playback".)
• The action of the pad when the [LOOP/MARK] pad is pressed
depends on whether the pad playback mode (
➔
p. 33) is set to
gate playback or trigger (retrigger) playback.
• When a pad set to gate playback is hit while holding down the
[LOOP/MARK] pad, loop playback continues in the hold state
also when the pad is released. To stop playback, hit the same
pad again.
• If the sound of a pad set to trigger (retrigger) playback is playing,
and the pad is hit again while holding down the [LOOP/MARK]
pad, the sound does not stop (loop playback will begin after the
sample has played through). To stop playback, hit the same pad
again.
This section explains operation of the unit in pad play mode. In this mode, pads are played to produce their
assigned samples. This is the basic operation mode of the ST-224. The playback position and playback mode of
each sample are also adjusted in this mode.
