woodman Posted January 4, 2022 Share Posted January 4, 2022 Hi Let me start by apologizing for posting so many "whiny" posts back to back - but I am really struggling with trying to understand the functionalities of this powerful arranger (the manuals are woefully in adequate). I know I am asking for a lot of your time - but I believe that this will help a lot of newbies/wannabes in this community such as myself I am trying to understand - : a) How pads work b) How to make/record custom phrases (?) for pads In order to do that _ I am first trying to understand the concepts/definitions of the various terms I see on screen. Can one of you erudite individuals please take the time to explain what various terms mean in Casio terminology ? How is the data tree structured ?: 1) click on pads - you see a screen with the following terms : - can you please explain what they mean : BANK chord 001 Bank Edit User Sampling - Set A (what are set A,B & C) 2) If you click on BANK chord 001 - you see : Phrase,Sampling,chord,multi,user - and under each of these options - you can select a whole range of banks(?) - what do these terms mean ? what does this menu as opposed to the (same name) buttons to the left of the pads ? 3) Finally - if I want to play a certain piece and then save it as a bank (?) - how would I go about it ?

Chord 001 is the name given to that particular bank. Bank edit allows you to create your own custom bank. User sampling for the pads is broken down into 3 sets, each one holds a maximum of 12 long samples and 4 short samples. 58 minutes ago, woodman said: 2) If you click on BANK chord 001 - you see : Phrase,Sampling,chord,multi,user - and under each of these options - you can select a whole range of banks(?) - what do these terms mean ? what does this menu as opposed to the (same name) buttons to the left of the pads ? The buttons and menu of the same name are simply different ways to reach the same thing. Those are different categories of bank types. 1 hour ago, woodman said: 3) Finally - if I want to play a certain piece and then save it as a bank (?) - how would I go about it ? First you must edit a pad. Your recording options for a pad are a phrase (which is a short MIDI sequence), or a sample. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
