playback by hitting the pad. For example, when sampling a drum pattern, a single drum sound or the entire
pattern can be assigned to a pad.
A combination of all settings for pads 1 - 8 is called a "bank". The ST-224 has three banks which are selected
with the [BANK 1] - [BANK 3] keys. In effect, the ST-224 therefore gives the user access to a total of 24 pads.
A pad to which a sample has been assigned has various playback parameters which can be set individually.
These parameters include playback start and stop position, level, tuning, and panning.
Note that changing these parameters does not affect the original sample. Assigning one sample to several pads
and setting these to different parameters result in different sound, but the original sample does not change or
become a new sample.
The [SOURCE] pad on the front panel is a special pad that allows using an
external input signal as sound source. It is not used for playing internal samples. NOTE
