Sampler pad default scale

[Java Fonda]

Hey there!

 

One issue I've been having with the XW-PD1 is that the default pad pitch settings when changing to a sample padset is bizarre - for some reason instead of the regular chromatic scale starting on C3, it starts on D#3 and then skips a semi-tone later in the chromatic scale (G# to A#, missing A).  Is there any way to change this default?  I've read and re-read the instructions, and tried everything I could think of - to no avail..

 

This only happens when changing to the Sample Padset, both Synth/Melody are OK, chromatic starting on C3.

 

Cheers in advance!

Which sample pad set and which step sequence are you using?

Thanks Brad - I think I explained this pretty poorly, let me try again!

 

It doesn't matter which sequence, or which bank I have selected - when I hold down the padset button and change the bank to SAMPLE type, it rearranges the pad pitches like in this image.  I've just tried initializing the XW-PD1 to factory settings, but it seems this must be a default setting because it's still doing the same thing..

All I want to do is set it up so that when I change the bank to a sample pad it runs as regular beginning with C3 on the lowest pad.  At the moment, every time I change a bank to samples it takes me a few minutes to change all the pad pitches to match the other banks.

 

Cheers!

Anytime the padset type is changed, the default note map in your diagram is recalled. That process cannot be changed. There is a workaround.  After you edit the note map, store this as a template step sequence for future use.  Pull up this template as your starting point for new projects. Your edited note map for the bank containing the sample padset will not change as long as it is changed to another sample padset.
