Normalise

EX manual, p. 65: "Raising Sample Levels As Much As Possible (Normalize):
Normalize is a function that brings up the level of the entire sample as much as possible without
exceeding a predetermined maximum level."

Mute Groups
_____________________________________________________________________
To cut into different loops in realtime, right?
In the sample edit page, go all the way to the bottom and turn on to 1. Hit the pad beside (for
instance) and set it to 1 also. Exit out, and play the one pad, and hit the other pad. First pad shuts
immediately off, as the second one plays. With some fast rhythmic fingers, you can pound out
some unique breaks and fills. Of course, other pads can be assigned to higher Mute #'s and react
the same way as the earlier loops, but will not interfere with other mute groups of different #'s (IE:
Drum loops assigned to group 1, Bass loops to group 2, Synth hits to group 3, etc.). Then just hit
Realtime Record, and wail on those drums.
Go to track 2 and wail those basses, etc.

Using the Clipboard
________________________________________________________ _____________
Press and hold the sample to be moved, then press the Clipboard pad at the same time. The
Clipboard pad should illuminate and the sample pad's lights go out. Then press pad bank followed
by the bank number you want. then press and hold the Clipboard pad again then press the pad you
want it to go to, the Clipboard light goes out and the new pad light's up. Same procedure by
holding Shift will copy the pad to Clipboard.

Controlling\Pitch Shift with MIDI notes
_____________________________________________________________________
The new Pitch Shifter on the SP-808EX you can control with MIDI notes.
That is, loop a sample on a pad (or Hdrec Track or live input) and control the Pitch Shift effect with
a MIDI keyboard.
Limitations:
- Cannot start samples with the note-on events you control the Pitch Shifter (unless you have a
keyboard, with that you can split two zones on the keys and assign two midi-channels on these two
zones and then start on say zone 1 and control the pitch with zone 2)
- You can play only two octaves, but this feature is great for special FX.
It's actually a mono synth with samples...

MIDI Loop
_____________________________________________________________________
(1) Use a MIDI cable to connect the MIDI out/thru to the MIDI in on the SP itself
(i.e., create a loop)
(2) Set the Pad Transmit Channel to 11 (System/Disk --> Set MIDI Paramters)
(3) Dial up an FX patch using the analog synth (e.g., A99) and turn FX on.
(4) Play the pads like a keyboard.
