MIDI, SCSI, and Sample Dumps
The MIDI Sample Dump Standard
At this point, you're ready to try loading a sample. See "Accessing a New K2500 Sample" later
in this section to learn how to use samples once they've been dumped to the K2500.
Getting a Sample into a Sample Editor from the K2500
Connect the MIDI ports of the K2500 and the computer/sampler in a closed-loop configuration
as described for the Sampler/Computer to K2500 procedure above.
Access the computer software's "Get Sample" page (it might be called something different). As
with loading a sample into the K2500, the K2500 adds 200 to dump request sample numbers
between 1 and 199. K2500 samples with IDs from 1 to 199 are ROM samples, and cannot be
dumped. Therefore, if you want to get sample number 219 from the K2500 but your program
can't transfer samples at numbers greater than 128, specify number 19 (There's an exception to
this; please see "Troubleshooting a MIDI Sample Dump" later in this section).
Loading a Sample into the K2500 from another K2500
Connect the MIDI ports of the two K2500s in a closed-loop configuration as described for the
Sampler/Computer to K2500 procedure above.
On the source K2500, go to the Sample Editor and select the sample you wish to transfer. To do
this, start in Program mode and press EDIT, followed by the KEYMAP soft button. Now you
should be on the KEYMAP page. Now move the cursor to the Sample parameter, use any data
entry method to select the desired sample, then press EDIT.
To start the sample transfer, press the Dump soft button. A dialog will appear, suggesting the
ID for the sample to be dumped to the destination K2500. The source K2500 will suggest the
same ID as it uses for the sample, but you can change the destination ID with any data entry
method. If you choose the default by pressing Yes, the sample will transfer to the same ID on
the destination K2500 as it is on the source K2500.
Dumping from the K2500 to a Sampler
This procedure is the same as dumping a sample from one K2500 to another. This will work
only if the sampler supports the MIDI Sample Dump Standard.
Dumping a Sample from the K2500 to a MIDI Data Recorder
This can be accomplished in an open-loop configuration, by connecting the MIDI Out port of
the K2500 to the MIDI In port of the MIDI Data Recorder. Go to the Sample Editor and select the
K2500 sample you wish to transfer. Set up the MIDI Data Recorder to begin recording, and
press the Dump soft button on the Sample Editor page. This will bring up a dialog allowing
you to change the sample number in the dump if you wish. In most cases, you will just use the
default value. The K2500's MIDI mode LED will flash while the data transfer is in progress.
Loading a Sample into the K2500 from a MIDI Data Recorder
Connect the MIDI Out port of the Data Recorder to the MIDI In port of the K2500. Load the
appropriate file containing the MIDI Sample Dump data into the Data Recorder, and send the
file. The K2500's MIDI mode LED will flash during this procedure.
Accessing a New K2500 Sample
First, select the K2500 program you wish to play the new sample from, and press the EDIT
button. Then select the layer you wish (using the CHAN/BANK buttons if necessary), press the
10-6
