dr-202 bass tuning?

Post by bukets »

just copped a dr 202 to do some seqencing and other stuff with, pretty fun to mess around with, one thing i cant seem to figure out is if there is a way to tune the bass on it to get it to be in key with my samples

personally ide perfer to have in-tune bass, im not sure how ide make it work otherwise. but thanks for the input! curcuit bending seems a bit extreme for just tuning. anyone know if you can tune it in the sp-202's pitch via midi? damn, for somehting meant to be played live in conjunction with samples you would think it had a basic tune feature :?

maybe you can only tune it with the sequencer, but u can definitely tune em.

Unless you mean your samples aren't on the regular scale tuning, in which case, get the samples in tune rather than the 202

well the samples arent perfectly in key or anything or else the dr-202 would mix perfetly as-is. but usually i will just tune a sub bass to my sample and play in a bassline and as long as both the bass and sample are in tune with eachother, its all good. im just tryna imitate this same technique exept with the dr-202 instead of a microkorg
