Sampling with the K2000
Editing Samples
Please keep in mind that the Start and End parameters on the DSP pages are not the same as the
sample Start (S) and End (E) parameters that you set on the TRIM and LOOP pages. When
you're working on one of the sample DSP functions, Start and End position refer to the range of
the sample that you want to process. Adjusting these parameters does not affect the overall start
and end of the sample. It affects only the portion of the sample that you want to process. When
you audition the sample by triggering a note, you'll hear only the range of the sample within the
Start and End parameters on the current DSP page. To hear the entire sample, press the Done
soft button to return to the Sample Editor page. Similarly, moving the S and E parameters on the
TRIM or LOOP pages have no effect on the Start and End parameters on the DSP pages.
Use the Plus/Minus buttons or the Alpha Wheel to select the starting and ending positions of
the selected sample segment (the Start and End parameters). You can audition the selected
sample segment by triggering any note within the current key range.
The actual processing of the sample begins when you press the Go button. The K2000 will
display a row of scrolling dots while it's processing. When it's finished, it will prompt you :
Keep|these|changes?
the page for the currently selected DSP function. This will undo any changes you've made. Press
the Yes soft button to make the change. The Save dialog appears (except for the Truncate
function). You can save to a different ID than the one displayed, if you want to preserve the
original sample. Pressing the Cancel soft button returns you to the current DSP page without
saving the sample. (the sample reverts to its original condition.)
Six of the DSP functions ( Mix, Mix Beat, Mix Echo, Insert, Replicate, and Beat Volume Adjust)
involve selecting a second sample segment (Sample 2) to be processed with the currently
selected sample. In these cases, a Samp2 soft button is available. When you press it, another
page appears, enabling you to select a second RAM sample using the Alpha Wheel or the
alphanumeric buttonpad. You can audition Sample 2 by triggering a note.
Once you've selected Sample 2, use the Start and End parameters to define the start and end
positions of the segment of Sample 2 that you want to process. While you're on the Samp2 page,
you'll hear the currently selected Samp2 when you trigger a note. When these positions are
defined, press the OK soft button to return to the DSP page where you can continue your
editing.
Once you've 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

Pressing this button cuts (removes) the currently selected sample segment from the currently
selected sample, and stores 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 remains in memory until you replace it
with another cut or copy command, or until the K2000 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 doesn't store it in a buffer. If you delete a sample segment, it's gone.
