of other rhythm sounds. Select fat synthesizer or acoustic instrument
sounds. Or go for special effects: strings, scratch, orchestra
hits and more. The SB-246 comes with a total of 529 dedicated

loop pattern sequencer is great for putting together complex
tracks. Just loop a few measures and add rhythm sounds in real
time by playing the pads. Non-stop programming helps you stay
in the groove. When you have created a number of patterns, switch
to song mode and line them up in any order. You'll have a song
ready in a flash. |

the core rhythm sounds that carry the loop pattern. Bank 2 has
sub rhythms and percussion to snazz up the basic beat, and bank

Create
original kits |
| |
In
kit edit mode, you can go right in and alter the existing kits.
But no need to stop there: freely combine 39 sources to form
your very own drum kits. Parameters that can be adjusted for
each pad include sound source, pitch, level, and panning. Up
to 127 kits can be created and stored in memory. |
|
24
bass sound sources |
| |
Sine
wave for that earthshaking rumble, acid style synth bass with
resonance, and many other Hip Hop favorites are ready to spring
into action. Add to that acoustic bass, sitar, strings, synth
pad and other bass sounds that also can be used for non-rhythm
parts. To input the bass line, the pads are assigned to a chromatic
scale and can be played like a keyboard. A dedicated switch
lets you instantly mute the bass track whenever necessary. |
|
210
preset patterns produced by Beat Kangz |
| |
All
210 preset patterns of the SB-246 have been pre-programmed by
upcoming U.S. hip hop artists "Beat Kangz". Masters
of current styles and classic hip hop beats the Beat Kangz have
programmed tracks that are ready to go into the studio today.
Intros, Fills, Endings and other variation patterns can be combined
to create tracks that are ready to record. |
|
Real-time
song programming with remix feel |
| |
Freely
assign patterns to the pads and then play and switch them in
real time: that is what real-time song recording with the SB-246
means. Play loops in DJ style and end up with a finished song.
Alternatively, line up patterns one by one using step input,
or use the FAST (Formula Assisted Song Translator) method to
specify a pattern sequence and then write it out in one go. |
|
Groove
play brings out the DJ in you |
| |
In
this mode, patterns assigned to the pads can be played and looped
as if you were using a sampler. Get into the groove and bring
down the house with your live DJ performance. |
|
Powerful
effects including compressor, EQ, reverb, chorus, and flanger |
| |
Compression/EQ
is a powerful tool to shape the overall drum sound. Reverb effects
let you control the ambience. These effects can be used simultaneously.
Effect settings can be stored in 40 different patches for each
effect. |
|
<COMP
EQ effect> |
| |
The
multi-band compressor allows individual compression settings
for different frequencies. By focusing only on the target area,
you can add a boomy kick to the bass or sharpen the attack of
snares and hand claps. Pump out those dance beats with a powerful
punch, mutate the sound by going lo-fi, or use the resonance
filters for dramatic impact. |
|
<REVERB
effect> |
| |
You
get a choice between four types of reverb effects (hall, room,
spring, plate) plus chorus, flanger, and delay. Each pad has
its own effect send level setting, so you can do things such
as applying gate reverb to snare only. Flanger and delay can
be synchronized to the tempo by measure or by beat. Whip out
some totally novel sounds for club music. |
|
Jam
function for free-style sessions |
| |
Simply
by operating a single foot switch, you can move through a sequence
such as intro, pattern 1, fill-in, pattern 2... ending. While
MCing or controlling the turntables for scratch effects, you
can still do a freestyle session of any length using your feet.
*The foot switch (FS01) is available as an option.
|
|
Use
the metronome for rap rhythm training |
| |
For
simple rhythm training, the metronome function with its dedicated
key comes in real handy. In addition to the standard 2 - 8 beat,
you can also use 6/8 beat, 7/8 beat, 2+3 beat, 3+4 beat and
other mixed beat settings. |
|
Touch-sensitive
pads enhance emotional playing |
| |
13
drum pads with built-in touch sensors bring out not only your
timing, but also the dynamics and delicate nuances of your finger
work. Programming is made even easier through visual cues provided
by the self-lit pads. |
|
MIDI
IN connector and external line input |
| |
The
MIDI IN connector allows synchronized play with an external
device. By receiving note messages, the SB-246 can serve as
drum sound source module in a desktop-music system. The line
input accepts the signal from a CD player or other line-level
source. Mix the input signal with the sound from the SB-246
and output the combined result. |
|
2-way
power from batteries or AC adaptor |
| |
The
unit will operate continuously for eight hours on a set of four
IEC R6 (size AA) batteries. Whether in the DJ booth or on the
street, the SB-246 is always ready. For extended studio work,
an AC adaptor can also be used. |
