The Soft Buttons On The Dsp Page - Kurzweil K2600 Musician's Manual

Sampling and Sample Editing
Editing Samples
deÞned, press the OK soft button to return to the DSP page where you can continue your
editing.
Once youÕve selected a sample on the Samp2 page, it remains selected until you return to the
Samp2 page and select another sample. You can always use the Samp2 page to audition a second
sample.
You can use the Copy soft button on the Samp2 page to copy the selected segment to a buffer,
then paste the segment into Sample 1 when you return to the DSP page.

The Soft Buttons on the DSP Page

Cut
This button will cut (remove) the currently selected sample segment from the currently selected
sample, and store it in a buffer. This is equivalent to cutting a section out of a piece of audio tape
and splicing the remaining ends together. The cut segment is then available for pasting
elsewhere in the sample. The segment you cut will remain in memory until you replace it with
another cut or copy command, or until the K2600 is shut off. If you accidently cut a sample
segment, you can restore it by immediately pressing the Paste soft button.
Compare this function to the Delete DSP function, which removes the selected sample segment,
but doesnÕt store it in a buffer. If you delete a sample segment, itÕs gone.
Copy
Use this button to store the selected sample segment in a buffer without altering the current
sample. The copied segment will remain in memory until you replace it with another cut or
copy command, or until the K2600 is shut off.
Paste
This button has an effect only after youÕve cut or copied a sample segment using the Cut or
Copy soft buttons. The Paste soft button inserts the contents of the Cut/Copy buffer after the
start position of the currently selected sample segment. This is like splicing a section of audio
tape into another section; it extends the length of the sample. You can undo a paste by pressing
the Cut soft button immediately after pasting.
When you cut or copy a sample, itÕs stored in a buffer. Whatever is stored in the buffer will
remain available for repeated paste commands until replaced by another cut or copy command,
or until the K2600 is shut off or reset (soft or hard). The buffer is also cleared if you execute a
master delete, and select ÒDelete everything.Ó
Note: Cutting and pasting always ÒsaveÓ the resulting sample, so you canÕt use the exit-without-saving
short cut to undo a cut or paste operation.
Samp2
The Samp2 button, as described earlier in the DSP page section, enables you to select a segment
of a second RAM sample to be processed with the currently selected sample.
Go
Press the Go soft button when you want to execute the currently selected DSP function on the
currently selected sample. When processing is completed, the K2600 will prompt you to keep
