1. The difference between pattern transpose and pattern pitch shift is that pattern pitch shift changes the notes of the pattern while transpose changes the base key or starting root of the pattern without changing its notes. Also, with pattern pitch shift, when the notes are pitch shifted beyond the upper and lower limit of the note range, they cannot be shifted back to their original pitch. Essentially pitch shift is destructive (changing the pattern's notes) while transpose is nondestructive (saving a key signature on which to start).
2. There are 15 user assignable sound slots and 134 preset sound slots. Slots in the A bank can be accessed with simple program change, while Banks B-D need to have CC0 sent with a value of 1,2, or 3 before the program change command is issued. User patches U01-U15 cannot be selected with program change, only with the value knob. For live performance, use the patch data sysex command to load user patches without touching the front panel.
3. Pad Z functions as a switch and should be assigned to parameters with only two values. For example, you can set Pad Z to distortion or noise switch and it will stay active as long as you hold keypad down. When you release, the sound will switch off. If it doesn't seem to work, your sensitivity might be set too low, so go into global settings and increase the sensitivity.
4. The accent function is triggered when midi velocity values over 100 are received from an external controller. The TB-3 touchscreen doesn't respond to velocity from the keypad.
5. Tuning (-7.0 to +7.0) is -700 to +700 cents, same as the TB-303. Use with caution as it's global.
