Casio SK60 transpose sample key?
« on: April 29, 2013, 04:46:37 AM »

Anyone with an SK60 who could help me out there? The user manual says you can set the "original key" of a sample to be on another key (instead of A4 by default), before you sample a sound. It says on P25 to hold down the sample select button of choice, then press the keyboard key that you want the sample's original key to be on, then sample the sound. It seems to do absolutely nothing at all to change the key, or I am totally brain-dead at following the simplest of instructions.

Cheers, Graham

Sorted! There was an error in the user manual   >:(  - l found out how to do it from some guy on a youtube video.

You don't hold down the sample select button first then choose a key - you select your sample using the sample select buttons, then hold down the SAMPLING button whilst selecting the keyboard note you want the original sample pitch to be on. You will hear a sine wave tone to indicate the pitch. Then release the button and speak into the microphone to complete the sampling process. Now when you play your sample back on the keyboard, it will be transposed such that the original sample pitch will be on whatever key you pressed during the sampling process.

Cheers, graham
