SYSTEM SETUP

Pressing this shows this screen:

The parameters are:

TRANSPOSE Sets the overall tuning of the sampler in semitones. Please note that this

is a MIDI transpose function and not a

tuning

function as such.

For example, if you transpose the S6000 up by 2 semitones using this

parameter, when you play C3, a 2 semitone offset will be added to that

and you will actually play the sample on D3. In this way, you may

transpose the overall tuning of the sampler without any ‘munchkin’ pitch

distortion.

SEMITONE TUNE This also tunes the sampler in semitone increments. This, however, is a

true tuning function and physically tunes the whole sampler up or down

so anything you play may have some of the pitch distortion inherent in

sample playback.

FINE TUNE Allows you to fine tune the sampler to external instruments.
